    First I must say that I’m not good at coding but I did manage to create this searchform.
    I made my own searchbar in searchform.php by tweaking it with CSS. But I noticed that I cannot add any text (Placeholder) inside the.
    Could anyone give me a hand and show me how to add a Placeholder text to my search bar? I have tried it in different ways but it seems more complex then I thought.. Thank you

    This is my code:

    <form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
    <div>

<label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">
</label>
        <input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
        <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="GO" />
    </div>
</form>

<label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">
</label>
        <input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s"  placeholder="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search'); ?>" />
        <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="GO" />
