# Customizing checkbox text

 * How can I change the text that appears next to the checkbox? The default message
   text is hard-coded into wp-comment-policy-checkbox.php. Is there a way to edit
   that message without actually changing the plugin files?
 * It would also be great to be able to customize the text of the error message 
   the wpcpc_verify_policy_check function returns if the user tries to submit the
   comment without checking the box.
 * Please let me know how I could edit these messages without hacking the plugin
   files. Thanks!

 * Hi. Right now you can’t edit those texts. I note the improvement for future developments.
