Hide the Divi Search Icon on Mobile Devices

Written by Dan Mossop

If enabled, the Divi Theme displays the search icon (a magnifying glass) in the header bar on all devices. If you want it to appear only on larger devices, not mobiles, you can hide it from mobiles in the following way:

@media only screen and ( max-width: 980px ) {
    #et_top_search { display:none; }
}

  1. I am using extra theme and social icons and search bar are not visible on mobile but when three lines tapped there are options and links but not visible and feels like space is left. I want to make it visible.

    • Hey Anil, Were you able to fix this? I just checked on an iPhone and on desktop at mobile width and in both cases I can see the social icons / search bar, so it looks like its working for me. If you still can't see them, perhaps try clearing the browser cache on your device. If that doesn't work, can you let me know what device / OS you're using? Thanks!

  2. Thank you for this!! My header image was pushing the search icon and menu icon to the next line. I changed the max-width to 500px. That way I get the search icon in landscape mode but it is hidden in portrait.

    Thanks, again!!
