The search box is part of the nav menu widget @ design/widgets - from the drop down menu choose header open up the nav menu widget and there is a check box to include the search box.
i was able to change the file permissions for all of them except .htaccess which I couldn't even find it on the server.
I try to ftp the .htaccess-sample file from my pc to the server. It keeps failing to do so. And my ftp software, filezilla, shows the reason "could not start transfer". I read the trouble shooting guide from semi pro about the .htaccess part and couldn't figure out what's wrong. I thought in somewhere there which i read said that the .htacess file will be automatically generated once I start using the widget function in WP.
But as this point, I don't see the .htaccess file in my root directory of my blog.
Please advise.
P.S. Perhaps, you could go to my blog at http://www.beststungun.com/blog/ and type in taser (that should be plenty of this word in my blog) to see what I am talking about. It is kind of a blank page but I am not sure if I describe it correctly.
I checked permissions and renamed the php-sample.ini file as php.ini, and verified the plugin status, all as Paul indicated above. I tried the search box in the header (no luck), and removed it from the header and put it in the sidebar. In both cases the result (after entering a word that appears on a page) is a blank page, i.e. the page is not found.
The search widget says that "There are no options for this widget". Is it possible that the search widget only searches posts, and not pages? I only have static pages so far.
In the zip download there is a file labeled .htaccess-sample, upload it to your server then rename it to .htaccess and set the permissions for it to 666.
In your admin go to design/widgets from the dropdown menu select your sidebar open up the widget Bookmark Me and click remove, then from the dropdown select each entry the add the bookmark me widget to it right after the widget Entry:Categories.
I couldn't upload the .htaccess-sample file to my server. Yahoo merchant solution is the server. I read about it and I think they don't support this file type.
I found numerous google hits for people trying to get htaccess support of yahoo. I did find this blurb...
Those of you who have a wordpress forum hosted on a Yahoo! plan, you CAN have pretty permalinks.
Yahoo! doesn't allow .htaccess but there is a workaround that they havent posted on their site.
Two options.
#1 - set the permalink to custom and add "/index.php" before everything else. #2 - turn permalinks on, set the site uri to www.example.com but the wordpress root page to www.example.com/index.php
Adding index.php allows wordpress to have pretty permalinks without .htaccess
