Insert text below Search form?

[okieman]

We're using Outreach Pro/Genesis and will soon upload to the Web. I've been asked to insert a basic "Top of page" link in the blank area under the Search widget. I found two php files that seem to handle the search, but both a marked "Don't you dare touch this" or words to that effect.

With a bit of guidance I can puzzle out the details. Here's what the existing html in the widget looks like after WP has assembled everything:

<div class="footer-widgets-4 widget-area">
	<section id="search-3" class="widget widget_search">
	<div class="widget-wrap">
	<h4 class="widget-title widgettitle">Search this site …</h4>
		<form method="get" class="search-form" action="http://127.0.0.1/wp/" role="search"><input type="search" name="s" placeholder="Search this website…" /><input type="submit" value="Search" /></form>
	</div>
	</section>
</div>

Hi,
You should do all your edits in the child theme Outreach Pro files. What file is this code in?

The code is what's in the browser if I do Ctrl-U. I've tried Notepad++ searches looking for various unique text strings* in any php or js file inside the WordPress directory.
( *footer-widgets-4, widget-area, widget-wrap, "Search this site", etc )

When I get in front of the PC on Saturday I'll try again to find something in the Outreach Pro files. But I'm surprised nothing has come up before, since that's a sub-directory of the main directory I searched. And I had the box ticked to drill down. Thanks, Savvyjackie.

Well I searched the entire Outreach Pro child theme folder for the text string "search" and no results except inside style.css. I'm stumped. Seems like such a simple idea to just insert a back to top link. PS Searched for any files with string "search" in their name. Zip.

OK I just decided to use a plugin. Thanks anyway for offering to help!
