[Solved] Hide Search bar from a home page

[case1001]

Hello,
I am having a trouble with my search bar. You see i have a home page with a search bar right in the middle of it. I also have a navigation bar on top of the home page with an additional search bar. My question is how do i make it so the additional search bar does NOT appear on the home page but still appears on the other pages. Is there any way to do that?

Yes, that can be done, most likely. But….we’ll need to see the site so we can tell you what CSS you’ll need to change/add.

Hello Senff
this is the website: http://rescore.io

[case1001]

i am just experimenting at the moment and that is what i have (probably fileld with mistakes)

<?php if( !is_front_page() ) : ?>
form action=”/movies/search_by_title”
input name=”query” type=”text” placeholder=”Search movies” /
<?php ?>

[case1001]

basically the initial code is

li
form action=”/movies/search_by_title”
input name=”query” type=”text” placeholder=”Search movies” /

And what i need to do is say if i am not on the home page execute this bit of code.

This code…

<?php if( !is_front_page() ) : ?>

…would indicate you’re working with WordPress, but looking at the site you sent, that’s not a WordPress site?

If you’re redoing that non-WP site and making it a WP one, then this CSS should just hide the search form from the home page:

body.home .top-bar form {
    display:none;
}

[case1001]

And if i just want to leave it non-WP is there anyway to just say if that is the home page don’t show the top right search bar on it ?

Can you give that specific page a class or ID?

[case1001]

The thing is that i don’t want to do it in WP

[Paulie_D]

Nothing to do with WP….

I assume you can edit the HTML of the home page, so can you add a class or ID to the body of that page?

Simple enough question.

[case1001]

Yes i can do that

[Paulie_D]

Then give the body a class of “home” and follow Senff’s CSS suggestion a few posts up.

[case1001]

Ok did that and it works. Thanks to both of you :)
