Which file builds search form

Hi, I’m using customized checkboxes that look like buttons (without checkboxes) to let users to click on ‘buttons’ to filter results. In order to show the selected (checked) state with CSS I really need to be able to make an edit to the file that creates the form that visitors use to filter their results. I have been looking but the place I tried to edit had no effect so I must be editing the wrong file. What file builds the actual form which displays the parts of the form, i.e. “<label><input type=”checkbox” etc.>” for the filtering form? Thanks in advance.

Hey Jade

There is no single template file as the way fields are setup is very complex… however there are two places potentially you would need to update:

If you are using checkboxes with tags, categories or taxonomies then you need to update this file:
search-filter-pro\public\includes\class-search-filter-taxonomy-walker.php
and head to line 223

and for other checkboxes (such as in post type or post meta inputs) you need to head here:
search-filter-pro\public\includes\class-search-filter-generate-input.php
and look for the function generate_checkbox

Thanks
