Editing the Search Field Text

Recommended Posts

buwebservices

I have been trying for days to edit the search field default text and nothing I have tried works. Nothing others have suggested works. I have this searchform.php copied from the main template into my child template, but I don't know what to put in this php page to change the default text. Any help would be much appreciated. Here is what is currently in searchform.php file

<?php
	/**
	 * SEARCH FORM
	 *
	 * PageLines search form
	 *
	 * @package     PageLines Framework
	 * @since       1.0
	 *
	 * @link        http://www.pagelines.com/
	 * @link        http://www.pagelines.com/tour
	 *
	 * @author      PageLines   http://www.pagelines.com/
	 * @copyright   Copyright (c) 2008-2012, PageLines  [email protected]
	 *
	 * @usedby get_search_form
	 * @internal $echo is passed from that function
	 *
	 * @internal    last revised January 20, 2012
	 * @version     ...
	 *
	 * @todo Define version
	 * @todo clarify *usedby and *internal
	 */
	
	pagelines_search_form( true );

Hey @buwebservices, You needed to look a little deeper at the code behind the [u]pagelines_search_form[/u] function. Just add this filter to your child theme's or pagelines customize plugin's functions.php file. Just change where it says: "YOUR SEARCH FIELD TEXT" to whatever text you want there! [code]add_filter('pagelines_search_form','override_search_form'); function override_search_form() { $searchfield = sprintf('', 'YOUR SEARCH FIELD TEXT'); // modify here $searchform = sprintf('
%s
', home_url(), $searchfield); return $searchform; }[/code]
