    Please see the screen shot. Where can I change the text from Search in Xstore to something else?
    I can find how to do it in other places but not in the mobile bottom bar.
    Thanks

    HI
    Thanks for getting back to me. I did see that and tried it but it won’t let me enter any text in that box for some reason. Can you take a look and give it a go I just want it to say Search. Or is there another way to do this?
    Thanks
    Nick

    Hello,

    Could you please check now?

    https://prnt.sc/rqO7GO5e8beS

    We’ve added this custom code to your functions.php file:

    
    add_filter('theme_mod_search_placeholder_et-desktop', 'n2t_search_placeholder_et_desktop');
    function n2t_search_placeholder_et_desktop(){
        return 'Search';
    }
    

    Thank you!
