 * How do I make the errors messages from the serverside validation into custom 
   messages? The biggest problem is that they are in English, en my site is not.
 * Also, the page is white with a gray box, and my site is gray/black. It’s bad 
   enough that an error message has to be a new page, but at least I want to be 
   able to change the template and style of it.
 * How to do these things?
 * using VFB 2.3.3

 * I’ve never used that form building plugin. Instead I would recommend Contact 
   Form 7. You can customize the error messages, email it goes to, visual look, 
   etc. It also allows for file uploading.
 * If you really want to style it to look perfect, I’m sure both plugins would only
   require simple CSS changes.

 * [@bdbolin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbolin/) Visual Form Builder 
   can do all of that, too.
