Hi,

I have created a Wordpress template for my new blog. Down the sidebar it has the standard Artisteer content, Search, Categories, Bookmarks etc.

I have positioned Search at the top. When I view it in Artisteer it has a block above the search box, in the same style as the other, that reads "Search". When I export this to Wordpress it disappears, leaving the search box at the top with no header block. You can see this at www.theproductiveseller.com

Please can you resolve this for me. :-)

Cheers,

Mike.

Search widgets, by default, do not have a "header', especially the ones that are added into the sidebar using the Widget design area.

This is a shortfall of Wordpress.

It may be possible to add the search functions to the dynamic sidebar above the widget area manually.

Another possibility is to create a text widget and insert the code into the text widget for the search form. You'll need a plug in to allow PHP to be executed in the widget, but those are readily available.
