Placeholder for Search field

Hi,

Unfortunately we don’t have such options, but please send us a link to your website, to the page where you added the product filter, so we can check if we can add the search icon and placeholder with CSS ( the placeholder may be possible to show until you hover on the field, not like an actual placeholder that shows until you type into the field ).

Thanks for the reply: Here is the link: https://toytimecollectibles.com.au/. It’s the upper right search field.

Hi,

The placeholder text can be added, but since your Theme doesn’t have FontAwesome integrated the icon is not possible to add, to add the placeholder text / hide it on hover, please add this CSS to wp-admin > Appearance => Customize > Additional CSS:

.wpf_autocomplete:before {
    content: 'Placeholder';
    position: absolute;
    left: 10px;
    top: 6px;
}

.wpf_autocomplete:hover:before {
    display:none;
}

PS. As explained earlier, the placeholder is not a real placeholder by any term, it is just a text added via CSS, so it can only be hidden if the field is hovered, can not be removed when user types into the field.
