    Hi Tobias,

    I have attempted to change the US Language file to modify the “Search” label: wp-content/plugins/tablepress/i18n/datatables/lang-en_US.js but it doesn’t appear to update in the tables.

    I know you just released this plugin, but do you have a recommended way to modify the label?

    Thanks, Ian

    Hi Ian,

    in fact, I do ??
    The reason is, that it is not recommend to change anything directly in the plugin files, because those changes will be overwritten during a plugin update by WordPress.
    Therefore, I developed a small TablePress Extension, which is basically just a small WordPress plugin that hooks into TablePress.
    To change the “Search” label, please install https://github.com/downloads/TobiasBg/TablePress-Extensions/tablepress-change-datatables-strings.zip as a regular WordPress plugin, and activate it. That plugin’s folder also contains a lang-en_US.js file. Just make your desired changes in that file.

    Regards,
    Tobias
