Update:

so the plugin looks AMAZING! I had trouble getting the pro version to work and make a field autocomplete, although the free version worked fine….. and it took unfortunately a looooong time, and a lot of great support from the plugin author, before i realized that the cause was a simple matter of ME not including the trailing / after the domain in the plugin settings for the “your site” url field….. ugh. It threw me off that the free version worked fine, so didnt even cross my mind that something “that easy” could be the cause and I am really impressed how committed the plugin author was via email to make it work. Respect! and THANKS!

update:

I installed the free version here, and after putting in my google api key and setting the field to be used to autocomplete just like the photo in the link shows, it worked fine and did an autocomplete of the form field. https://ps.w.org/autocomplete-google-address/assets/screenshot-1.jpg?rev=2133698

BUT after installing the demo PRO version with temporary license key, there IS NOT field to assign the autcomplete field to use! And the assigned earlier in the free version does not carry over (and, even if it did, it couldnt be easily edited if no input field in admin to change it). The fields to define which form fields should get populated with what data are there but, without the admin field to specify which form field should be used for autocomplete it is of course not going to work….. and now my demo pro license key is expired and i couldnt see it in real action.

hi, no havent gotten this sorted but DO think it would be a elegant and logical solution for the menu on handheld devices….

well feel a bit sheepish but as the saying goes “knowing is half the battle”, so after talking with woo support the easy and straightforward solution was in using the parallax shortcode directly in each front page per language instead of the customizer, which i had also done, BUT switching the template for the front page from “front page” to “full width” lol…. means i have to put all the category etc stuff i want to have on front page in manually instead of via customizer but solved the issue of having multi-language parallax heroes which is what i needed. So, THANKS woocommerce support for the help!

thanks for the help! but, it looks like the solution in that link, based on the comments, has issues with the actual url for seo and doesnt work so good when there are subcategories etc…. so, will keep looking for a workaround. maybe a paid plugin will be the only way to do it correctly but will wait and see if any other clean solutions first.

well managed to get everything sorted EXCEPT for having a Search (magnifying glass) icon that when hovered on/selected opens a dropdown with search field text box…. but progress i suppose.

Update on this:

the top notch crew at WPOvernight did an incredible job on helping me sort this out. INCREDIBLE customer support and willingness to solve this issue. GREAT JOB and a big THANKS!

Hello, the “theme” is Storefront from Woocommerce so figured they went hand in hand, especially since the page I referenced for removing/adding links in the Handheld footer was on the Woocommerce website…. nope, unfortunately still havent figured out how to add a drop-up link for a menu in the handheld footer menu, but if I at least knew the exact function to call for the handheld footer menu i might be able to piece it together…

any ideas on this? I found this function below and it works, but is just a link to the home page…. so, anyone know what the actual FUNCTION to call would be for the HANDHELD MENU? then, i am hoping i can nest it in this function instead of the echo to “home” and it will do what i want lol.

/** added nav to handheld footer */
add_filter( ‘storefront_handheld_footer_bar_links’, ‘jk_add_home_link’ );
function jk_add_home_link( $links ) {
$new_links = array(
‘home’ => array(
‘priority’ => 10,
‘callback’ => ‘jk_home_link’,
),
);
$links = array_merge( $new_links, $links );
return $links;
}
function jk_home_link() {
echo ‘‘ . __( ‘Home’ ) . ‘‘;
}`

thanks, email sent yesterday, waiting on reply, hope this can be sorted out!

hi Senff and thanks for the quick reply!

regarding #1, IS there any place within storefront /woocommmerce / wordpress for that matter to actually DEFINE the default placeholder text for the default search field in the header? I looked everywhere I could think of and, like I said, since it was automatically translating based on my selected language, I assumed it must be set within the string translations under languages but it is not….. so I looked everywhere else and coudnt find anywhere that set that text blurb…. and my research online yielded only changes via a function. Is that REALLY the only way to define/change something as “standard” as the placeholder text for a default search field? I found that surprising so hoped I had indeed missed a built in way to change it via admin….

regarding #2, thanks, I hope someone else more skilled than me has already done similar and can point me in the right direction.

If this would be best moved to a different forum to find an answer/suggestion I apologize if this was the wrong place and appreciate the move.
