How Do I Change the Search Icon in WordPress?

In order to change the default search icon in WordPress, there are a few different ways to go about it. If you’re using a custom theme or plugin, then you’ll need to consult the documentation or support for that theme or plugin.

Otherwise, the quickest and easiest way to change the search icon in WordPress is to use the Customizer tool.

To change the search icon in the Customizer, first open it by clicking on the Customizer icon on the admin toolbar (rounded square with a + sign inside it). Then, click on the Appearance tab.

Under the Search icon heading, you’ll see two options: Search icon (default) and Custom icon. Click on the Custom icon option to open the Customizer dialog box.

In the Customizer dialog box, you’ll first need to decide which icon you want to use as your search icon. You can either choose an existing icon from your computer or you can upload a new icon.

Once you’ve chosen your icon, you’ll need to enter the path to the icon file. WordPress will then use that icon as the default search icon.

If you want to change the search icon in WordPress without using the Customizer, you can use the following code to change the search icon in your WordPress theme or plugin:

get_search_icon(); ?>

Finally, if you want to change the search icon for all WordPress sites, you can use the following code to change the search icon in WordPress core:

// Change the search icon globally in WordPress core function changeSearchIcon() { global $wp_admin; wp_enqueue_scripts(array( ‘change_search_icon’ => ‘wp-admin/includes/search-icon.php’ )); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘changeSearchIcon’);

Conclusion

Changing the search icon in WordPress is a quick and easy way to customize your WordPress site’s search functionality.
