Navigation Bar Search Icon

[Christy Steele]

Dear Tom,

I am using generate press on a website for a client at http://www.tappinginschools.com

I am doing a few updates and want to add the word “Search” into the navigation bar next to the search icon. I can’t for the life of me figure out how I got that search icon into the navigation bar and how I edit it. Can you help with that? I searched the forum and couldn’t find information about it. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. And thank you for a great wordpress template!

Christy

Hi Christy,

This CSS might help:

.search-item a:before {
    content: "Search ";
}
