Remove widget title

[gijs]

I want to remove the widget title for the search box. When I leave the field empty, the string "search" is added automatically. How can I fix this? Adding a space in the title field doesn't work either, nor a nbsp.

Use CSS.

Inspect the widget title, find the class and use display:none;

I've activated the search widget in both the Genesis Sample and Epik themes. It appears that you are using Epik. The title, if left blank, does not appear. I can't duplicate what you are seeing.

However, there is a widget title filter that you can use:

if ( is_active_widget(false, false, 'search') ) {
    add_filter( 'widget_title', '__return_false');
}

Default title ("Search") reappears if left blank after a few days (without touching anything).
Thanks for the code Victor, where should I include this?

Hi Victor, I put the code in the fuctions.php but it's removing all widget titles. I only want to remove the search box widget title.

I'm using this and it seems to work well - https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-widget-titles/
