MailChimp addon not at fault. User Registration addon causing the confusing error message.</p> <p>Solved by the following code in functions.php :</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_user_registration_validation_message&quot;, &quot;update_validation_msgs&quot;, 10, 2); function update_validation_msgs($message, $form) { if($message == &#39;The username can not be empty&#39;) $message = &#39;Email is required.&#39;; return $message; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-email-field-validation-message-not-working-with-mailchimp-addon-enabled#post-257857 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:49:48 +0000 Tim 257857@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Working fine standalone - but does not display custom message when connected to the MailChimp addon.</p> <p>Site in development, public URL not available. </p>
