using string to translate text in within filter

Co authors plus is a plugin that allows more than one author of a post. That paricualr author needed to add more authors to the list. It would not be relevant to you, except to, as all snippets may, offer some ideas. In your case, you are not trying to delete an option, merely to change its label.

I have found this however it as sfid ==12345 what do you use to replace 12345? Would this be a more correct snippet.

function my_plugin_search_filter_change_label($input_object, $sfid) {
  if ($sfid == 12345 && $input_object['name'] == '_sf_post_type') {
    foreach ($input_object['options'] as $key => $option) {
      if ($option->label == 'Media') {
        $input_object['options'][$key]->label = 'Photos';
      }
    }
  }
  return $input_object;
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'my_plugin_search_filter_change_label', 10, 2);

12345 is the ID number of the form.

Okay thanks where would I put this code, could I use it in the archive-downloads_french.php post type theme or does it go somewhere else?

It would normally go in the child theme functions.php file.

I have tried it in the functions.php but I cant seem to get it to change word ‘Brochures’ to ‘Test’

This is the code I have used am I missing something?

<?php
function my_plugin_search_filter_change_label($input_object, $sfid) {
  if ($sfid == 845 && $input_object['name'] == '_sft_file_type[]') {
    foreach ($input_object['options'] as $key => $option) {
      if ($option->label == 'Brochures') {
        $input_object['options'][$key]->label = 'Test';
      }
    }
  }
  return $input_object;
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'my_plugin_search_filter_change_label', 10, 2);
?>

Hi there

What happens when you echo something inside each if statement?

  if ($sfid == 845 && $input_object['name'] == '_sft_file_type[]') {
   echo "got here";

And

  if ($option->label == 'Brochures') {
        echo "got in the brochures option";

Do you see them on the front end?

I think also your field name is probably _sft_file_type not _sft_file_type[]

Thanks
