If the placeholder text in the WHERE field of your search bar is cut off on desktop, you can change it. The placeholder text is fully customizable, and a shorter prompt (such as "Where to?" or a branded prompt like "Explore Charleston") fits at every screen size.
Change it for the whole site.
- In WordPress admin, go to HomeRunner Toolkit → Search Bar Pro.
- Edit the Default placeholder field ("Shown in the WHERE field when no value is entered").
- Save.
This applies to every search bar on your site.
Change it for one search bar. To override a single search bar instance, add the placeholder attribute to its shortcode, for example [homerunner_searchbar_pro placeholder="Where to?"]. The shortcode attribute takes priority over the site-wide setting.
Choosing a length. Short prompts of roughly 10 to 12 characters or fewer display without truncation, even in the widest bar configurations.
