How Do I Change the Search Bar in WooCommerce?

WooCommerce is a powerful eCommerce plugin that helps you turn your WordPress site into an online store. One of the great things about using WooCommerce is that it is highly customizable.

This means that you can change things like the search bar to better suit your needs. In this article, we will show you how to change the search bar in WooCommerce.

First, you need to log into your WordPress site and go to the ‘WooCommerce’ settings page. On this page, you will see a ‘Search Bar’ section. Here you can change the placeholder text, button text, and select the categories that you want to include in the search results.

If you want to change the look of the search bar, then you will need to edit the code. We recommend that you use a child theme so that your changes are not lost when WooCommerce is updated. To edit the code, go to ‘Appearance > Editor’ and select ‘theme-child > WooCommerce > loop > product-searchform.php’.

On this page, you can change the HTML and CSS of the search bar. For example, if you want to change the width of the search bar, you can find the ‘width: 100%;’ line and change it to ‘width: 50%;’. Once you have made your changes, click on the ‘Update File’ button to save them.

That’s all there is to changing the search bar in WooCommerce. We hope this article has helped you learn how to customize this important aspect of your online store.
