    Hello,

    Theme Options > Typography > Menu > Customize mobile menu links > Search color.

    Regards

    that is incorrect…. I want to change the placeholder text from ‘Type Here’ to ‘Something else’… not the color

    Nevermind, I added additional js code

    var search = document.getElementsByName("s");
    search[0].setAttribute("placeholder", "Search");

    Oh I see, you can change the text using translation files. Install Loco translate plugin https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/theme-translation/base-theme-translation/ , create English translation, change desired strings of XStore theme and disable the Loco translate. For example – http://prntscr.com/oav87g > http://prntscr.com/oav8dh
