Help removing code from footer

Topic summary

A user is trying to remove unwanted code appearing in their store footer but cannot locate it in their theme files. The problematic code involves div#predictive-search-option-search-keywords with CSS styling.

Proposed solutions from community members:

  • Search for the code in the theme.liquid file (Admin → Online Store → Themes → Edit code)
  • Wrap the found code with <style></style> tags to contain it properly
  • Alternatively, delete the CSS row directly or add it to base.css instead
  • Add the corrected code above the </head> tag in theme.liquid

Current status:

The issue remains unresolved. The user has reported multiple times (posts 7-10) that they cannot find the code in the theme.liquid file, despite following the provided instructions. Screenshots were shared showing their search attempts.

One helper requested the user attach their theme.js file for further investigation to locate where the code actually exists, suggesting it may be in a different file than initially assumed.
