Placeholder Filter on Dropdown

Hi Neil,

Your code works on my test environment with the latest version of BTF installed.

function modify_dropdown_placeholder( $placeholder, $taxonomy ) {
	return 'Select from the below';
}
add_filter( 'beautiful_filters_dropdown_placeholder', 'modify_dropdown_placeholder', 10, 2 );

Where are you putting this code?

Hi Jonathan,

hmm strange – straight into functions.php – I am using other filters which are working fine – here is a dev url – https://dev.temple.websitelove.com.au/temple-shop/

Other filters for BTF?

You’re not putting in inside some other hook or function or class (farfetched) inside functions.php?

Yes other filters for BTF are ok – just placed regularly in functions – here is my BTF filters…

	add_filter( 'beautiful_filters_taxonomy_label', 'modify_btf_dropdown_label', 10, 2 );
	function modify_btf_dropdown_label( $label, $taxonomy ) {

		return 'Select By Concern';
	}

	add_filter('beautiful_filters_apply_button', 'modify_filter_button', 10, 1);
	function modify_filter_button($string){

		return 'Apply Search';
	}

	add_filter( 'beautiful_filters_dropdown_placeholder', 'modify_dropdown_placeholder', 10, 2 );
	function modify_dropdown_placeholder( $placeholder, $taxonomy ) {

		return  'Select from the below';
	}

Top 2 work fine – just the placeholder one is not taking effect

Hi,

Could you make sure to remove the excess space between return and your string?
I think that’s causing the blank placeholder ??

Going back to this issue (wasn’t the spacing) – I think it may be because I am using a taxonomy that is registered to work on the ‘product’ cpt in use by WooCommerce.

As the code does work in other taxs I have linked to other cpts.

What do you think?

Hi Neil,

Yeah unfortunately BTF wont work with WooCommerce due to them writing their own rewrite rules for the products and productcategories.
