# Which file to correct coding error

 * My site, [http://bit.ly/10XrhjC](http://bit.ly/10XrhjC), has Google Custom Search
   in the main navigation bar; however, the person who ‘installed’ the form code
   used the incorrect publisher id. Plus, when I do a test search, the results appear
   3 times (all ads right now due to incorrect publisher id). It’s a total mess.
   The site just went live yesterday, so it’s not been indexed yet!
 * I need to know which theme file contains the following:
 *     ```
       <div>
           <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-3102513675616909:1406658177" />
           <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:10" />
           <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />
           <input type="text" name="q" size="25" />
           <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
         </div>
       </form>
   
       <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/coop/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&lang=en"></script>
       ```
   
 * I’ve been searching every file imagineable for the last 7 hours today, and am
   so upset! Please can someone give me a clue where I can find this code so I can
   edit it? You can see it in the source code from the home page.

 * Look in the header.php file of your theme.

 * As DJDoubleXL189 said it should be in header.php, from the looks of it you should
   find the code near the end of that file just a little above the </header> tag.

 * Thanks all, but this exact code, with this partner-pub number is not in the header.
   php file. I need to find the file that contains the partner-pub above! 🙁

 * Did they install a plugin to set this?

 * No plugin – I had the header customized, and gave the developer the wrong partner-
   pub code. Developer is not available to assist anymore.
 * I’ve tried picking through the coding using Firebug, but I am not techie at all
   when it comes to php!

 * If there’s no plugin and no widget, it’s got to be in one of your theme files.
   You may need to consult some professional help.

 * Yes, I totally agree it’s probably in one of the theme files, but does anyone
   know which theme file this code might be placed in by a developer? Would someone
   be so kind as to take a peek via Firebug and possible give me some file suggestions?
 * If not, I totally understand! I’m just trying to find out which file…I can probably
   handle the rest myself. Trying so hard to keep costs to a minimum!

 * Or better yet, does anyone know of a plugin that could search all the theme folders
   and files for this? I’m already using Advanced Code Editor plugin, but I can 
   only search one file at a time, and only those files that are appearing in my
   WP editor, and I’ve been through all of these manually already.

 * People (including me) have looked via Firebug – but that only shows the rendered
   HTML code. There really is no way for someone to see more from this side of the
   site. You might get more helpful information from the developer of that theme–
   [http://www.woothemes.com/products/canvas/](http://www.woothemes.com/products/canvas/)
 * We don’t have access to commercial themes, so they may have more information 
   that could be useful.

 * Thanks so much everyone for your help! I already have someone who will be looking
   through the coding to hopefully correct the problem!
