Change the label 'Near' and placeholder text 'Location' in the filter bar

[K.]

Hi,

I’m trying to figure out how to change the label ‘Near’ and placeholder text ‘Location’ in the filter bar

I have followed these instructions:

Same Title and Placeholder Terms

which works perfectly for the Search label and placeholder text. So I tried to duplicate and rename the function to get the same result for Location but this doesn’t give me the desired effect.

— this code is the original snippet which my adjustments

add_filter( 'tribe-events-bar-filters', 'tribe_support_1043887', 1, 1 );
 
function tribe_support_1043887( $filters ) {
 
    $value = '';
     
    if ( ! empty( $_REQUEST['tribe-bar-geoloc'] ) ) {
        $value = esc_attr( $_REQUEST['tribe-bar-geoloc'] );
    }
 
    $html = sprintf(
        '<input type="text" name="tribe-bar-geoloc" id="tribe-bar-geoloc" value="%s" placeholder="%s">',
        esc_attr( $value ),
        'Placeholder text'
    );
 
    $filters['tribe-bar-geoloc']['caption'] = 'Label text';
    $filters['tribe-bar-geoloc']['html']    = $html;
 
    return $filters;
}

How to go about this? Thanks in advance!

Good evening K. and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear about the adapted snippet not producing the desired results.
I would love to help you with this topic.

I will ask the snippet author to see what he says, because your code looks legit to me.

As an alternative, you coulf probably use Javascript to change your placeholder text.

Hang in there as I look that up for you.

Cheers,

Geoff B.

Good afternoon K.,

As promised I had somebody take a look at it.

It turns out that the priority is too low on it. Just remove the “1,1” priority from the opening filter.

add_filter( ‘tribe-events-bar-filters’, ‘tribe_support_1043887’);

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.
