   Hello there!

   I am currently using Liquorice Theme and i am having trouble removing a search bar. It doesn't seem to be a widget as making the search widget inactive doesn't remove it, i was wondering if you could give me a code to adjust the template which i presume is causing the problem?
   Also, when editing a post it is centered but when previewed/saved it becomes set to the left hand side of the screen because of the search bar. Would i be right in assuming if the search bar is removed the text will become centered upon the page?

   Many thanks for you help and sorry for my lack of CSS knowledge!

   If you have yet to add any widgets to the sidebar, go to appearance > widgets and add one and the search widget will disappear. It is one of the sample widgets displayed by the theme when no widgets have been added to the sidebar.

   If you do not want any widgets in the sidebar, then just put a blank text widget into the sidebar.

   Add this to the very bottom of your CSS and all widgets will disappear and you will not be able to use widgets at all.

   #secondary-content {
   display: none;
   }
