WordPress: my Search widget is lost... how to fix?

I know there are WordPress forums, but the crowd over there is more than a little assy.

I changed my home directory at pupntaco.com and since then, my sidebar search widget won’t appear. I’ve scoured all the PHPs and CSS files and can’t find anything (handcoding is not a strength).

<!—<div id=“nav”>
<div id=“nav2”>
<ul class=“nav2”>
<li><a href=“http://www.pupntaco.com”>Home</a></li>
</ul>

<form method=“get” id=“searchform” action=“http://www.pupntaco.com/”>
<div><input type=“text” value=”” name=“s” id=“s” />
<input type=“submit” id=“searchsubmit” value=“Search” />
</div>
</form>

</div>
</div>—>

Uncomment that part and see if it helps. I don’t know the structure of your site so I can’t say in what exact php file that is in.

Thanks JP, I’ll let you know.

Do you mostly do design and graphics? In the the future could you possibly be open to doing a few jobs? Or is your plate full?

Nope, that didn’t fix it. Must be buried in some obscure place, I can’t figure it out.

Here’s what WP had in searchform.php (minus the commenting):

<—-!<form method=“get” id=“searchform” action=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/”>
<div><input type=“text” value=”<?php the_search_query(); ?>” name=“s” id=“s” />
<input type=“submit” id=“searchsubmit” value=“Search” />
</div>
</form>—->

Your problem is starting here…

<!—<div id=“nav”>

That shouldn’t be in searchform.php

This is what my searchform.php looks like.
