You’ll find the following custom glossary labels:

  • Enter the label for your search bar, e.g. ‘search’, ‘term search’ or ‘find a term’ could all be appropriate labels for your search bar. Note: this label is available in Pro+ and Ecommerce versions only.
  • You can also choose a label for the “clear” link, which allows users to remove whatever text they entered into the search bar and start over. Note: this label is available in Pro+ and Ecommerce versions only.
  • You can choose the label for the tags section, which allows visitors and users to filter your glossary terms using your pre-defined term tags for easier navigation. Note: this label is available in Pro+ and Ecommerce versions only.

Altogether, every label that appears in the Glossary Term Page or Glossary Index Page can be customized in the plugin settings. 

This option also supports localization while changing the default label which appears automatically when the plugin is installed.
