 * I’d like to insert things into the boxes similar to how the theme preview looks.
   I would also like to add a search bar into the menu any ideas?

 * I would love to know the answer to this question – I’ve been looking all over
   trying different short codes but haven’t come up with anything. And on a related
   note, the short codes don’t produce anything for me whether I’m in text or visual
   mode on a page…all I get is the actual short code text on the page, not a widget,
   columns, picture or whatever the code is supposed to create.

 * [@yvesg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yvesg/) I went back and forth with
   someone in support and it took a while to have this question resolved … here’s
   the code
 * (Note this is for the three column “boxes”…change where it says “third_column”
   to “fourth_column” if you want 4 “boxes”
 * You can also personalize background_color, border_color, width, and height
 * I was told that width of “259” for the picture is ideal (maybe just for the three
   column boxes though)
 * [x2_third_col background_color=”f1f1f1″ border_color=”dedede” height=”250″] href
   =”[http://www.this](http://www.this) is the link or page that people will go 
   to when they click on the picture/”><img alt=”” src=”put the link of your picture
   here.jpg” width=”259″ height=”300″ /> This is the text under the box…perhaps 
   just a title or a short description [/x2_third_col]</span>
 * [x2_third_col background_color=”f1f1f1″ border_color=”dedede” height=”250″] [<img alt=”” src=”put the link of your picture here.jpg” width=”259″ height=”300″ /> This is the text under the box…perhaps just a title or a short description ](http://www.this is the link or page that people will go to when they click on the picture/)[/
   x2_third_col]
 * [x2_third_col_right background_color=”f1f1f1″ border_color=”dedede” height=”250″]
   [<img alt=”” src=”put the link of your picture here.jpg” width=”259″ height=”300″ /> This is the text under the box…perhaps just a title or a short description ](http://www.this is the link or page that people will go to when they click on the picture/)[/

 * [@moderator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moderator/) – was my first comment
   considered “bumping”? I apologize; I was trying to say that [@yvesg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yvesg/)
   was not the only one with this question … urgent or not, I wanted to indicate
   that more than one person was having the same issue.

 * [@yvesg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yvesg/) I’m a novice myself so I
   am not sure if I’m giving an accurate response for this one – I am not sure how
   to add a search bar directly next to the homepage menu but have you tried adding
   a search widget into one of the headers?
