I would like to know where I can modify the inc/geodirectory-compatibility.php file and if it is editable in the plugin editor on the backend? Can I get the proper code to use dropdown arrow instead of cog and have text say “Advanced Search” Thank you.

Hi Tony,

You can use this code snippet, i suggest adding a pluign called “code snippets” to add it
```
add_filter('gd_adv_search_btn_value','_my_adv_search_button');
function _my_adv_search_button($btn){

	$btn = '&#xf107;';

	return $btn;
}
```
And you can get the codes from here: http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/

Thanks,

Stiofan

Thank you for the response. I am not comfortable with code snippets and would rather place the replacement php code in the respective file if you will give that to me. Thank you.

Hi Tony,

You can try inserting the code into the functions.php file of your theme. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Thanks!

After playing around with it, I finally got it the way I want it except for one thing. I would like to put some text on my advanced filter button along with the down arrow. I would also like the text above the arrow and centered or to the left of it and a space between text and arrow. Thank you. Your support has been great so far.

Hi Tony,

Replace the code with the below and see if it’s what you’re looking for.
```
add_filter('gd_adv_search_btn_value','_my_adv_search_button');
function _my_adv_search_button($btn){

	$btn = '<div class="search-text">My Text</div><span></span>';

	return $btn;
}
```
