    Thanks for this, Brad. It was exactly what I was looking for.

    I did have to add a couple of CSS rules to get the form to display inline instead of underneath the nav. I am using the Sample theme.

    Thought maybe I’d left some CSS in place from previous attempts at the Search form, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

    It’s all looking/working great now but if you could shed some light on it when you have time, I’d appreciate it. LMK if you actually want to take a look and I’ll post the URL.

      Hello Teresa. This tutorial was coded for the older version of the Genesis Sample child theme. This new tutorial is coded for the new version. Not sure which version you are using however 1 uses the fixed header and one doesn’t. Try this https://wpsites.net/web-design/animated-search-form-in-header-right-genesis-sample-theme/
