    Hi again. Thanks so much for all your help, which has worked 100%. I need some more guidance though I’m afraid! I need to add a search bar to my site, just below the nav-bar (which I have positioned below the header image). I would like the text inside the search bar to read: “Search author, title, genre etc.” Rather than just the usual “Search”.

    Can you tell me how I could add a search bar like that?

    Thanks as always.

    Paul

  • I’d suggest to customize the search bar via child theme. Create a child theme and copy partials/searchform.php into your child theme folder, then modify the placeholder

    placeholder="<?php echo esc_attr_x( 'Search ...', 'placeholder', 'omega' ); ?>"

    into

    placeholder="Search author, title, genre etc."

    Hope that helps.
