Language Question

    I am trying to change some of the text strings to read differently.

    For example on the search form, instead of “Zip/Postal Code”, I want it to read as “Search by Zip Code or City, State”

    I created a en_US.po file and added that change, but cannot get the en_US file to take affect.

    How do I do this or is there an easier way to change strings?

    Note that I did just trying change the string in the pot file by changing the correct msgstr line to reflect my new string, but it did not work.

    Ideas?

    You can pass in a shortcode option to change the label text:
    [wp_simple_locator addresslabel="Search by Zip Code or City, State"]

    The upcoming release will have a placeholder option as well, for the input placeholder.

    The button text can be changed as well:
    [wp_simple_locator addresslabel="Search by Zip Code or City, State" buttontext="Your Custom Button Text Here"]

    That fixed that issue. Great solution!

    I am having another issue where I want to change the message that is returned when there are no results: No results found.

    I want it to say: No results found. Expand the distance of your search to try and get a result.

    How would I do this?

    There’s no shortcode parameter currently that’ll change that text. I’ll add it in a list of to-dos for the next release.

    If you’re comfortable with Javascript, there is a function you can hook into if there are no results:

    wpsl_no_results(location, active_form){
// Perform custom actions here
}
