I have downloaded WooCommerce Product Search, and I need a small help.

When I place the shortcode for the plugin on the page, a textbox is placed and the placeholder has text Search in it. There is a setting to change the placeholder text in the backend, under WooCommerce-> Settings-> Search.
But even after changing it doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone guide me where can I change the text from?
(I need to change the placeholder text in the searchbox)

sometimes plugins has conflict with another or sometimes has a bug.
Try translate with plugin's language file (which .pot file extension)

I did try what you suggested @guguk but seems that it is not working. Even after editing the .pot file, it didn't work.

Can you provide a screenshot ? Worst case we can do this with a simple CSS trick

Hello @melbagnato,

Here are the two screenshots:

I have placed the shortcode on the front portion. Using the DIVI theme. And I have included the backend screenshot as well.

In your screenshots, you have the word "Search" in the settings, and "Search" appears in the search box. Can you change the settings page to something different and see what happens ? Also, can you send a URL and I can check the CSS settings.

The placeholder has "Search Your Favorite Product" and the submit button has "Search" as text. I am looking at replacing the text in the placeholder. I am currently working on local server, and so I do not have a URL.

"Search" text In settings page changes button text not placeholder but i have not seen any search button screenshot.

If you dont use any external search plugin and using standard theme's search input let check this:
right click of "search text" and click the "inspect element" and find the input class name or ID and search that name in all theme files and check that string has "_e" tag before string?

Search button is disabled. And I am using WooCommerce Product Search plugin downloaded from Babiato.
When I click inspect element, here is the code I see

Code:

<input id="product-search-field-0" name="s" type="text" class="product-search-field" placeholder="Search" autocomplete="off">

Okay.
Seem placeholder string is not translatable. So i think, in pot file does not contain this string.

You can use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/ for temporarily
