How to Change the Default Astra Strings

By leveraging the astra_default_strings filter, you can effortlessly alter the default text displayed by Astra to better suit your needs.

You will have to add these to your child theme’s functions.php file for it to work. Check out this doc that explains how to add custom PHP code using the child theme’s functions.php file. 

Usage

// Filter callback function
function example_callback( $strings ) {
    # ...
    return $strings;
}
add_filter( 'astra_default_strings', 'example_callback', 10 );

Parameters

The following section describes some parameters and their filters that you can try out for your website.

  • To change the 404 sub-title
function default_strings_callback( $strings ) {
    // Search nothing found string
    $strings['string-404-sub-title']	= __( 'This page doesn't seem to exist.', 'astra' );
    return $strings;
}
add_filter( 'astra_default_strings', 'default_strings_callback', 10 );
  • To change the 404 search title
add_filter('astra_the_404_page_title' , 'page_notfound_callback');
