I had this issue, too. A site I popped in on (didn’t code, don’t know much about what’s going on) has this plugin, and most of the themes and plugins needed updating.

Once updated, Master Slider stopped working. In this case, I disabled the minify plugin that was installed (Better WordPress Minify), and it worked.

I don’t know if this was an issue with the particular minify plugin or minification in general, but thought I’d post my solution.

What’s not working? I don’t see anything technically wrong with this.

Did you double check that the theme is spelled that way (no space, capitals) in the theme folder? And that the way you wrote it in the template is how they write it? Both of those have to be exact.

I don’t think this should make a difference, but you could also change the version number to 1.0 or delete that line.

Also, just to check, sometimes I mistakenly name my file styles.css with an “s” instead of just style.css.

Your comments are a bit off.

CSS “comments” start with /* and end with */. They hide all code in between.

Yours starts right, but after the version, you’ve got another opener instead of a closing tag, */ . You also then have a second open comments tag, after the import line. You can delete that one.

Let’s see if that helps.

That’s a good point to notice.
I looked at the Glades theme page, and I don’t see any samples with a header, so I’m still not sure I know what you’re referring to (the static page must be set right now).

Since it sounds like a theme issue, have you tried to ask the theme author?

Your easiest option is to hide it with css:

.search-box {
  display: none;
}

If your theme has a custom CSS box (sometimes they do), you can place this code there.

Otherwise, you’ll need to create a child theme (google for a tutorial if you need–there are excellent ones available online) and place it in the child theme’s style.css.

You could also find it in the theme’s templates/files and make a copy in your child theme, and remove the search.
You’d be looking for:
<?php get_search_form(); ?>

🙂 So glad to hear that! Chrome element inspector or Firebug is great for this kind of thing. If you’re not using them, you might want to check into it, they’re easy to use.

Using Chrome dev tools, it looks like the issue is caused by this in the theme’s styling:
#site-description {
margin: 0 270px 3.65625em 0;
}

Changing this margin should help.

Thanks, Daniel!
