The popup search bar that should appear when you mouse over the search icon is not appearing in Safari browser, making the search function impossible to use in Safari! Please help!

Hello,

I’ve checked the search in Safari browser http://prntscr.com/fxhtic
What browser version do you use?

version 5.1.7. it’s strange because the search bar will appear sometimes, but it seems to be random.

actually, it now appears that you have to leave the mouse cursor over the search icon for a few seconds for the search bar to appear. this only occurs in safari. this is still not ideal. is it possible to have that popup search box be persistent or always visible so that you don’t have to mouse over it to make it appear?

When I check your search in Safari browser – https://gyazo.com/b2e923354d43960824b92e33a7babdb3
You can change Search view in Theme Options > Header Settings.

Thank you. Is it possible to change the text that appears in the popup search box? The text that says “Search engine Use this form to find things you need on this site

You can use Loco Translate plugin to change text via translation https://www.8theme.com/demo/docs/woopress/#!/2_how_to_translate
https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/theme-translation/base-theme-translation/
or copy functions with this text from /woopress/framework/theme-functions.php into function.php of your child theme and change text.

Yes, you can change this text in /woopress/framework/theme-functions.php file.
We recommend you to make changes in a child theme.
