    I would like to replace the default search placeholder text (currently says “Search…”) with my own custom text. I have looked through the theme options but couldn’t find a way to change it specifically for the mobile view.

    Could you please guide me on how to ppdate the placeholder text.

    Thank you for your help.

    Best regards,
    Luka

    Hi,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Could you please provide temporary FTP access? We will check what can be done to help you.

    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,

    Hello @lukabp,

    To edit the placeholder text in Mobile panel -> search element, please follow the steps below:

    1. Open the Live Theme Options (Customizer).
    2. Enable the Header Builder – https://prnt.sc/4YZwh-1KwMmr (this is a temporary solution to edit certain settings).
    3. Open the Search section within the Header Builder content and modify the placeholder text – https://prnt.sc/W7yn7meVa1k1. This value is also used in the Mobile Panel search item – https://prnt.sc/fgYc_2NcvySV.
    4. After making the changes, save your settings and then disable the Header Builder. Since your website uses a header built with the Elementor editor, loading additional assets from the Customizer header is unnecessary and may slow down the page loading time.

    Best regards,
