Change Search Bar Placeholder

Hi, you can change it by modifying the Search form structure.

add_filter( 'adverts_form_load', 'custom_placeholder' );
function custom_placeholder( $form ) {

    if( $form['name'] != 'search' ) {
        return $form;
    }

    foreach( $form["field"] as $key => $field ) {
        if( $field["name"] == "query" ) {
            $form["field"][$key]["attr"]["placeholder"] = "New Placeholder";
        }

    }

    return $form;
}

thanks Greg works great!

Hi Greg,

I cannot edit/change the placeholder for custom search category filter.. can pls help me. thanks!

Hi, for dropdown fields you can set placeholder by setting ’empty_option_text’ param, so in the code instead of

if( $field["name"] == "query" ) {
            $form["field"][$key]["attr"]["placeholder"] = "New Placeholder";
        }

you will have

if( $field["name"] == "query" ) {
            $form["field"][$key]["empty_option_text"] = "New Placeholder";
        }
