Q: How can I remove the search box or “Blogroll” or “Categories” or “Archives” or “Website” link at the top of the page?

A: In the Theme Editor, open the file called “topnav.php”. To delete the search bar, look for the following text and delete it. Be careful to delete all of it, but no more.

<li class=”topnavright” id=”search”>

<form id=”searchform” method=”get” action=”<?php bloginfo(’home’) ?>”>
<div>
<input id=”s” name=”s” type=”text” value=”<?php echo wp_specialchars(stripslashes($_GET[’s’]), true) ?>” size=”9″ tabindex=”1″ />
<input id=”searchsubmit” name=”searchsubmit” type=”submit” value=”<?php _e(’Search’, ‘ProPhoto’) ?>” tabindex=”2″ />
</div>
</form>

</li>

To remove the Blogroll drop-down menu, look for and delete the following line:

<?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_before=<a href="#">&title_after=</a>'); ?>

To remove the Categories drop-down menu, look for and delete the following line:

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=<a href="#">Categories</a>'); ?>

To remove the Archives drop-down menu, look for and delete the following lines of code. Be careful to delete all of it, but no more.

<li><a href=”#”>Archives</a>

<ul name=”archive-dropdown” onChange=’document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;’>

<?php wp_get_archives(’type=monthly&show_post_count=0′); ?> </ul>

</li>

To remove the Website link, look for and delete the following line:

<li><a href="http://www.mysweetphotosite.com" target="blank">Website</a></li>

    @juliana: unfortunately, i don’t have a tutorial for this, because it’s too complex and goes beyond basic, supported customizations. you’ll either have to hack your way through, or you can email prophotoinstall at gmail dot com and Matt can give you a price to do it for you.

    sorry!
