Change default error message

    Greetings 🙂
    Is it possible to change the default error message at the top of the form that displays when validation errors prevent the form from submitting?

    The current message is “Error: Your form is not valid, please fix the errors!” and since this is a site for professional adults, I would like to show a more helpful message without exclamation marks.

    Perhaps something like:

    “Error: It looks like some information may be missing or incorrect. Please review the form and correct any errors before submitting”.

    Regards
    Hennie

    Hello @dumel,

    I hope things are going well for you.

    Yes, you can customise it from the “Send Message” button in the Form Editor Page >> Click on the setting icon >> There you’ll see an option to customise it.

    Please refer to this screenshot for the step: https://monosnap.com/file/X4o4Th4eFxIYGueCNNTEc3Migp8S3v

    Hi @dumel

    A follow up here, as Imran said you may have a look on that option, but in case you need to customise it per issue then it isn’t possible out of box.

    However, Forminator has the hook available that may help you: This filter

    apply_filters( 'forminator_custom_form_invalid_form_message', $invalid_form_message, self::$module_id );

    Note, providing the full code will be outside the scope of support we can provide. For that, you’ll need to hire a developer to provide the required custom code for you. WordPress provides a jobs directory here https://jobs.wordpress.net/, if you need further advice about it, feel free to email [email protected].

    Thank you for the prompt response. I was able to customise it from the “Send Message” button as suggested by @wpmudev-support9. Thank you 🙂
