    Hi,

    I love gravity forms, but all I want to do is change the error message on the form validation, I have a good understanding of html and a small understanding of php, but to change a line of text feels like I need to be a qualified coder, why is this so difficult to change. Could it not be possible to put the error message in the form settings?

    Anyway, in the meantime, could you please explain what I have to do with the code found here http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_validation_message

    Under the advanced tab for most fields, you can change the validation message.

    The code in examples such as that goes in your theme's functions.php file.

    Hi David,

    I appreciate the very quick reply, but I'm looking to change the form validation message 'There was a problem with your submission. Errors have been highlighted below' rather than a field validation message.

    Yeah, to change the main one, you need to use the hook that was linked before:

    You will want to put it in your functions.php file.
