Search box displaying just title → Default Wordpress Widget for Search Box

Question

This is how I have defined the sidebars in functions.php file →

function zebra_sidebar() {
register_sidebar (array(
    'name' => 'Vertical Sidebar',
    'id' => 'sidebar1',
    'before_widget' => '<div class="widget-item">',
    'after_widget' => '</div>'
));
register_sidebar (array(
    'name' => 'Horizontal Sidebar',
    'id' => 'sidebar2',
    'before_widget' => '<div class="widget-item">',
    'after_widget' => '</div>'
));
register_sidebar (array(
    'name' => 'Footer Sidebar',
    'id' => 'sidebar3',
    'before_widget' => '<div class="widget-item">',
    'after_widget' => '</div>'
));
}
add_action('widgets_init', 'zebra_sidebar');

is there any flaw in my sidebar definition? Because even those widgets that are in the core WordPress such as search widget is only displaying Title on the front page, but not the search Input box. Although the search widget is a default WordPress widget provide at the time of fresh WordPress installation.

Answer 1

There is not any flaw in the way you've defined the sidebar. This is not supposed to happen because WordPress provides search form field to the front by default. There must be some issue with the theme you are using or the WordPress version you are using right now. What is the WordPress Version you've right now?

Or there must be some hook in your theme that is affecting to display it from the widget.
