How to change the no-results.php text

paste your no-results.php file here

Hi, thanks.
The text I’d like to change is:

<p><?php _e( ‘Sorry, but nothing matched your search terms. Please try again with some different keywords.’, ‘sixhours’ ); ?></p>

I’d like to change the words and include a link to my contact page.

I don’t understand it because I can modify the existing text, but I can’t replace it with my own words.

I mean instead of, “Sorry, but nothing matched your search terms. Please try again with some different keywords.”

“Sorry, I haven’t written anything like that yet. Please send me a message and I’ll answer it for you”.

If I change the text to something like “orry, but nothg atched your search terms. Please try again with sooooome differen kewords.”

It’s fine!?

It makes NO sense to me at all.

Thank you very much for answering me.
Craig

			<?php get_search_form(); ?>

It’s because of not escaped single-quotes.
<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, but nothing matched your search terms. Please try again with some different keywords.', 'sixhours' ); ?></p>

make it

<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, I haven\'t written anything like that yet. Please send me a message and I\'ll answer it for you.', 'sixhours' ); ?></p>

notice backslashes right in front of single-quote characters.
Alternatively, you can write it this way:

<p><?php _e( "Sorry, I haven't written anything like that yet. Please send me a message and I'll answer it for you.", 'sixhours' ); ?></p>

so you replace the opening and closing single quote with double-quotes

Ohh, thank you very much!

I don’t know anything about PHP, I’ve heard of things being “escaped” but I don’t know what it means.

The code you supplied, showed up the back slashes, so I took them out but left all of the single quote/apostrophe unicode in.

Works a treat now.

Thinking about it, the problem must have been in the “I’m”.

I should have written the punctuation in unicode.

I think anyway: that’s what’s working now.

Would you know how I could insert my link to my comments page??
