The generate PDF call works, but the custom confirmation message is not displayed on the results page (it displays the default conformation instead).</p> <p>The filter code is as shown:</p> <pre><code>add_action(&quot;gform_pre_submission_filter_1&quot;, &quot;get_ceu_pdf&quot;, 10, 2); function get_ceu_pdf($form) { require_once( ABSPATH . &#39;wp-admin/includes/plugin.php&#39; ); if (is_plugin_active(&#39;ce-certificates/ce-certificates.php&#39;)) { // Set form values $course_id = $_POST[&#39;input_5&#39;]; $user_id = $_POST[&#39;input_4&#39;]; $certificate_date = $_POST[&#39;input_6&#39;]; $license_number = $_POST[&#39;input_2&#39;]; $send_email = $_POST[&#39;input_7&#39;]; // Plugin is activated, generate and email certificate $cert_name = ce_generate_certificate($course_id, $user_id, $certificate_date, $send_email); // Output confirmation message $form[&quot;confirmation&quot;][&quot;type&quot;] = &quot;message&quot;; $html_message = &#39;&lt;div class=&quot;ce-message&quot;&gt;&#39;; $html_message .= &#39;&lt;h3&gt;Certificate Issued&lt;/h3&gt;&#39;; if ($cert_name) { $html_message .= &#39;&lt;p&gt;You may download the course certificate &lt;a href=&quot;&#39;.CE_CERTIFICATES_UPLOAD_URL.$cert_name.&#39;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;.&lt;p&gt;Your certificate has also been emailed to chosen user at the provided email.&lt;/p&gt;&#39;; } else { // Cert generation failed $html_message .= &#39;&lt;strong&gt;Sorry, an error has occurred generating your certificate.&lt;/strong&gt;&#39;; } $html_message.= &#39;&lt;/div&gt;&#39;; $form[&quot;confirmation&quot;][&quot;message&quot;] = $html_message; } return $form; }</code></pre> <p>Should this filter work as coded?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> John </p>
