    I would like to change the text in the search button so it doesn’t say “search jobs” but rather “search opportunities”. Is it possible to do this?

  • Hi @jakesorensen, firstly I would recommend to learn about template override here the link:
    https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/

    To change the button text, you need to go after override template to job-application.php and after that you can change the button text.

    <input type="button" class="application_button button" value="<?php esc_attr_e( ' YOUR TEXT HERE ', 'wp-job-manager' ); ?>" />

    Remember to backup your site before doing any change.

    Kind regards
    Wally.

    I went into that php file and followed the process to change it, but I’m not sure that’s the correct spot. I’m trying to change the text in the Job Dashboard from “Search Jobs” to “Search Opportunities”. If I’m not mistaken, the search button is on the job-filters.php, correct? Either way, I’ve copied to my theme and made the change and it doesn’t reflect. Please advise.

    Hi @jakesorensen !

    Yes, you are right, the correct template would be the job-filters.php. You can also try using a plugin such as SayWhat (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/say-what/) to edit the string.
