Hey guys,  
so I am new to this theme and not very experienced with wordpress, also.  
I have a couple of questions.

1. I want to change the text in the search bar from search, to the german equal, as it is a german site :D. I also would like the text to dissappear once you click on the search bar.  
I was kinda able to change the text but not make it dissappear. This is why I changed it back and now I do not know anymore how to change the text either.

2. How do I get those social icons that you also have on your site. I have a plugin that I used with my old site, which is kinda similar but too limited in terms of color. I thought I read there is a plugin/widget included but I can not find it.  
I only find the widget “Sparkling Social Widget” which only creates a follow us text.

3. Under settings → reading settings I setted it to show only a summary of my blog posts, but it still shows the whole page.

I would appreciate your help.  
Thanks!

I could solve all those problems except the one with the search text!

Hi @dssl,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

> 1. I want to change the text in the search bar from search, to the german equal, as it is a german site :D. I also would like the text to dissappear once you click on the search bar. I was kinda able to change the text but not make it dissappear. This is why I changed it back and now I do not know anymore how to change the text either.

You can achieve this by using the attached small plugin.

Best Regards,
