    Dear 8Theme Support Team,

    I am writing to inquire about how to change the placeholder text “Search in XStore” that appears in the mobile panel of the XStore theme to “Search by Part number or Manufacturer” (screenshot attached for more details).

    We are using WPML for our website translations and will need to provide translations for this new placeholder text in Spanish and Finnish once it’s changed. We have already checked the WPML String Translation module but haven’t been able to locate the original “Search in XStore” string.

    Could you please provide guidance on how to change the default placeholder text? Specifically, we would like to know:

    – Where the “Search in XStore” string is located within the theme files or options.
    – The recommended method for changing this default text.
    – Once changed, where this new string (“Search by Part number or Manufacturer”) will likely appear within the theme files or options so we can locate it for translation with WPML.
    – If there are any specific settings within the XStore theme options or header builder that control this text in the mobile view.

    Thank you for your time and assistance.

    Regards,

    Max

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Could you please provide temporary wp-admin and FTP access? We will check what can be done to help you.
    To grant WP-Admin access, please proceed to create a new user account with an administrator role through your WordPress Dashboard. Once the account is established, you may securely transmit the username and password to us via the Private Content section designated for this purpose.

    For FTP access, we require the following details: FTP host, FTP username, FTP password, FTP port, and FTP encryption type. If you need assistance in creating these credentials, please reach out to your hosting provider who will guide you through the process.

    Warm Regards,
    The 8Theme Team

    Hello,

    We appreciate your prompt response.

    Thank you for the wp-admin access.

    Unfortunately, we were unable to establish a connection to your FTP server.
    We kindly ask that you try connecting via FileZilla on your end to verify the credentials. Please provide us with the correct FTP login details.

    Warm Regards,
    The 8Theme Team

    Hello, MaxFIN,

    Thank you for providing access. Unfortunately, similar to other parts of the mobile panel, the search text cannot be translated directly from the admin area.

    To enable the translation, we have added the following code to the functions.php file of the child theme.

    add_filter("theme_mod_search_placeholder_et-desktop", function($current_mod) {
        if (defined('ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE')) {
            switch (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE) {
                case 'es': // Spanish
                    $current_mod = 'Buscar por';
                    break;
                case 'fi': // Finnish
                    $current_mod = 'Etsi';
                    break;
                case 'en': // English (default)
                    $current_mod = 'Search by';
                    break;
            }
        }

        return $current_mod;

    });

    If you would like to change the text, please provide us with the desired wording, and we will update it accordingly.

    Best regards,
    8Theme Team
