# edit default shortcode message

 * Hello,
    I would like to edit the default text shown to logged-out users when 
   using the `[um_loggedin]` shortcode. Currently this is displayed: `This content
   has been restricted to logged in users only. Please login to view this content.`
 * I notice that I can edit the message for posts that are entirely restricted under`
   admin>Ultimate Member>Settings>Access>Restriction Content>Restricted Access Message`.
   But this only seems to work for fully restricted pages/posts content, not shortcode-
   restricted content.
    - Am I missing something?
    - Can I use a hook/filter to edit the message? ([https://docs.ultimatemember.com/category/955-hooks](https://docs.ultimatemember.com/category/955-hooks)
      wasn’t super helpful)
 * Thank you! Great plugin!

 * You can use the “Say What?” plugin to change the message.
