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

Hello Yes they both appeared but when I refreshed my browser Brochures got replaced with Test so I removed your echo code I added and it was still there so it must have been some kind of caching issue.

At least I know now the codes works in the correct place. May I ask how I can add multiple text replacements in this?

Thanks
