i cannot work out why this search icon’s are not being displayed now, I’ve reverted it all back to what should be standard and no search icons :(

Are you are correct, my mistake there when retyping it.
Now that I’ve inserted the both search items vanished.

add_filter( 'avf_execute_avia_meta_header', '__return_true', 10, 1);
add_filter( 'avia_meta_header', 'avia_append_search_nav_mod');
function avia_append_search_nav_mod(){
          global $avia_config;
          ob_start();
          get_search_form();
          $form = htmlspecialchars(ob_get_clean());

          $items .= '<li id="menu-item-search" class="noMobile menu-item menu-item-search-dropdown menu-item-avia-special">
                        <a href="?s=" data-avia-search-tooltip="'.$form.'" '.av_icon_string('search').'>
                        <span class="avia_hidden_link_text">'.__('Search','avia_framework').'</span>
                        </a>
                        </li>';
        echo $items;
}

function custom_shift(){
?>
<script>
(function($){
//      $('#header_meta #menu-item-search').prependTo('#avia2-menu');
        $('#header_meta #menu-item-search').prependTo('#header_meta .sub_menu');
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'custom_shift');

yeah, thats using your ‘method #2’

and the second search icon is displayed only when I insert
   in your $items variable block

Here is the current functions.php

<?php

function new_link(){
$kriesi_at_backlink = "";
return $kriesi_at_backlink;
}

add_action('init','fix_php_shortcode_init', 12);

Doesn’t seem like anything changes if I modify that header_meta line.

I’m going to go try style that small one now per your instructions, I must say thank you so much for your assistance with this, has been remarkable.
As for 4.4.1 I swear we only upgraded to that like last month or maybe 1-2months ago!! :(

Ok more success with your other methods, seems the problem was when I was copy/pasting the code from the forum into vim, there were some character issues.

Retyping the whole part, now brings up the search icon, is there a way to actually retain the search form input box in the header though, rather than all methods where you click on the search glass icon, and it pops up the search form?

I’ve created a dev copy of this site and still can’t get any of these options to work :(

Here is my child functions.php modification for your first method, just to see if we can get something working.

  }
add_shortcode('search', 'search');

function enfold_customization_header_widget_area() {
  dynamic_sidebar( 'header' );
}

add_filter("kriesi_backlink","new_link");
function new_link(){
$kriesi_at_backlink = "";
return $kriesi_at_backlink;

I’m not having any success with any of these items, I must be doing something wrong.

I attempted each method, method #1 with the function in the child theme fucntions.php and putting the [search] into the phone field, displayed [search] on the actual website.

then I tried the second method, added code to child field , nothing in the phone field and nothing was displayed in the nav bar section.
Same with the third option.

Do I need to do any other modifications other than add those code segments to the child functions.php file?

I didnt transfer anything, I was simply ‘upgrading the theme’

All I did was upgrade the theme by updating the parent theme and then the site lost all styles/layout etc.

Success that seems to have done it!! I thought I tried that exact line but I must of mistyped it or had cache issues, the bar at the top is now hidden and the standard header is still displayed.

Excellent, thank you!

I’ve done that and now its destroyed the header on the site, seems the previous dev put a lot of custom elements in it.

Surely its easier to simply hide 2 elements instead of having to rebuild the entire header?

oh did I not provide the link?!? my mistake, I have a dev site setup of the main site I am testing it on

I should mention, I have tested with the parent theme – still fails

removed the child functions.php – still fails

The exact same behaviour, the same posts show up on page2 as page1
