* I would LOVE to change the text (value) on the submit button without having to
edit the plug-in’s grunion php file. How can I override this in my functions.
php file?

* I’m afraid we do not offer this option yet, but I took note of your feedback,
and we’ll consider adding an option to customize the button in a future Jetpack
release!

* We have now added a new shortcode parameter to allow you to customize the text
of the Submit button. This change will be available in the next Jetpack release,
and the parameter works like so:
* `[contact-form submit_button_text='Submit Now']`

* Does this short code work now? I am having trouble changing the text of the submit
button.

* The code works for me.
* However I am trying to add a Font Awesome icon to my submit button. I am entering
code as below, but it is not working. To put it another way Is there another
way of adding a class to the button?
* `[contact-form submit_button_text=' Submit Now']`

* You should not need to add a new class: you can use existing CSS classes to target
the contact form button, like so:
* ```
.contact-form input[type="submit"] {
/* Custom Rules here */
}
```
* You can also use the `:before` selector to place an element before the submit
button:

* Hi
It works as long as I write ‘Submit Now’ but if I change it to the Danish
word it fails.

* I’m sorry, Jeremy. I missed the “Resolved” button and thought my note sort of
continued the conversation (despite having read your post to indianer9). Sorry.
