But that will only go out on 1.3.9. Probably a couple of weeks away.</p> <p>Meanwhile, you can use jQuery to change the message.<br /> Note: This snippet requires that the <a href="http://jquery.com" rel="nofollow">jQuery library</a> is <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script" rel="nofollow">already loaded</a> in your theme to function properly.</p> <p>Also, you will need to replace 21 (in #gform_21) with your actual form id</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt; jQuery(document).ready( function() { jQuery(&quot;#gform_21 .validation_error&quot;).html(&quot;My new validation message&quot;); } ); &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-customize-the-text-when-there-is-a-problem-with-a-submission#post-2999 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 07:59:57 +0000 Cristian Antohe 2999@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is there an update on this issue? </p> <p>Thank you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-customize-the-text-when-there-is-a-problem-with-a-submission#post-2630 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 11:37:07 +0000 Carl Hancock 2630@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello Adrien,</p> <p>Right now it is possible to customize the validation message on a field but I do not believe it is possible to change the primary validation error message that you referenced above. This is a localized string so that it can be translated when the plugin is translated.</p> <p>I will check to see if there is a hook that can be leveraged to change this programatically. We can look into making it customizable in a future release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-customize-the-text-when-there-is-a-problem-with-a-submission#post-2620 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 02:26:44 +0000 adrien 2620@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi (again),</p> <p>Here I'm almost done with the killer form I have built with the plugin. The only thing I want to fix is the text a user get when there is an error in a form she submitted :</p> <blockquote><p>There was a problem with your submission. Errors have been highlighted below. </p></blockquote> <p>Any chance I can customize it?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>- Adrien O'Leary </p>
