    Hi,

    Please go to Appearance → Customize → Logo & Header → Main Bar & Primary Menu: turn off the "Disable Header Search" option.

    hi, www.litstack.com

    but right now i turned on the vertical menu, and so the search works there. 

    the search icon does not show up on the horizontal menus

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, I can't debug this issue when you've enabled the vertical menu.

    hi, i used your demo book magazine, and have made no changes to the theme coding. your book magazine demo does not have the search icon on the horizontal menu, why is that? perhaps look at the demo and make some corrections there? can you fix the demo so that the search icon works in future updates to your theme?

    Hi,

    The Book Magazine uses the vertical instead of the horizontal menu, so all the content of the horizontal menu will be hidden.

    If you want to show the search icon, please go to Appearance → Customize → Logo & Header → Vertical Navigation & Hamburger Menu → General: turn off the "Completely Delete The Header When Enable Vertical Navigation" option.

    Regards,

    hi, sorry. your previous suggestion doesn't solve the issue. i am certain that the search icon and hamburger are somehow missing on the horizontal menu in your book magazine demo. On your own demo site, both icons do not show up as one tries all the various navigation options on your book magazine demo. Can you possibly fix this in a future update of the theme? I'm hoping you will...

    Thank you.

    hi, here are 2 screenshots. 

    one of soledad's demo, header #1, horizontal, this does not show a search icon.

    the other of my website, same header choice #1, horizontal, does not show search icon.

    the search feature only appears on the vertical menu.

    Hi,

    Please go to Appearance → Customize → Logo & Header → Colors → Search, Shopping Cart & Mobile Bars Icons Color: change the white color to another color at this option.

    hi, thank you! that worked.

    However, please go to the site at www.litstack.com, and click the search. the search box comes up blank and i cannot see where to type in the search or close the search. 

    Please let me know what other setting to change so that a search box is visible. thank you so much.

    hi, i figured this out! yay! customize-logo & header-main bar & primary menu - set header search style to overlay or to slide up (default choice shows the blank search box and does not work). thanks.

    hi, one more quick problem. when you type into the search box, the type is in white and you cannot see it. where is the control for this so that the search term is visible? thank you.

    hi, while your solution worked for the home page, the search icon is only showing up on the home page. it does not show on the blog page, other pages, or the category pages. please advise on how to fix it so the search icon works on all pages and category pages. thank you for your help.
