    Hi people out there,

    Where can I change the placeholder text for my searchbox? I found nothing in this forum about it. Maybe you could help me,

    Best,
    Markus

    Hi,

    If you want to edit it physically.
    Depending on the type of header you select.
    It’s located in evolve-plus/templates/…. look for the header file of the type that you use.
    Open up the file to find the placeholder text.

    Or use a translation plugin such as loco translate plugin to search for the text and “translate” it.

    Thank you

    Ok, I’ve found it (Solution 1). Thank you.

    Can I edit also the design and the alignment of this Search Box?

    I want it to be red and a little bit more right like the social Media Buttons (in one line with them).

    Hi,

    Please provide website URL and screen-shot with annotation to show me where you want to shift your search box.

    It’s only possible to shift left or right, but not up or down.

    Thank you

    Ok, that’s good. I just want to shift it right.

    Here’s my Domain: http://www.radtouren-checker.de/

    You can see the Header. I want to shift the searchbox in one line with the other socia-media-icons and change its colour into red.

    Hi,

    Please use the following in Theme Options -> Custom CSS

    #search-text-box {
    border: 1px none red !important;
    left: 20px !important;
    position: relative;
    }
    #search-text-box #search_label_top .srch-btn::after {
    background: red !important;
    }
    #search-text-box #search_label_top .srch-btn::before {
    color: red !important;
    }

    Thank you
