Change 'Innehåll' or 'Select Category' ?


Charlotte Raboff comments:

Change Select category..


Peter Michael comments:

Add this to your functions.php, change 'Choose Category' to whatever you need.

function _category_dropdown_filter( $cat_args ) {
$cat_args['show_option_none'] = __('Choose Category');
return $cat_args;
}
add_filter( 'widget_categories_dropdown_args', '_category_dropdown_filter' );


Charlotte Raboff comments:

thanks but in the theme functions.php I find only this code:
<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') )
register_sidebars(4);
?>


Charlotte Raboff comments:

Sorry I was to quick to reply........anyway I have added your code to the functions.php but look at the website, the code is visible at the top... most be somethings missing....


Peter Michael comments:

Here you go, your new functions.php:

<?php
# Register Sidebars
if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') ) {
register_sidebars(4);
}

# Changes the first entry text for the category dropdown widget ('SelectCategory')
function _category_dropdown_filter( $cat_args ) {
$cat_args['show_option_none'] = __('SelectCategory');
return $cat_args;
}
add_filter( 'widget_categories_dropdown_args', '_category_dropdown_filter' )
?>

Charlotte Raboff comments:

Shall I replace all the code at the functions page with your last code?
Where do I change the name in this code?


Peter Michael comments:

Yes, replace everything with my code. Change the name like this:
$cat_args['show_option_none'] = __('Välj en destination');


Charlotte Raboff comments:

Great, thanks:)
