Replacing default form error messages

[hello4]

Hello there,

Could you please show me how to replace the default form error messages (the exhaustive list of required fields), with a custom error message? Something like “Please complete the required fields”.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

Please use this snippet –

function wcfm_custom_0905_translate_text( $translated ) {
	$translated = str_ireplace( 'This field is required.', 'Please complete the required fields.', $translated );
	return $translated;
}
add_filter('gettext', 'wcfm_custom_0905_translate_text');
add_filter('ngettext', 'wcfm_custom_0905_translate_text');

Thank You

Hello,

Thanks for the reply, but that’s not what I meant. Please see the attached screenshot. Instead of all those messages, I want to display one simple message, something like ‘Please complete the required fields’ or something. How can I do that?

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

This is not possible using default validation system.

To show one message have to write separate validation code.

Thank You

Hello again,

Could you please explain how to write a new validation system (just the file names and other things to be changed) as the default validation messages look pretty basic and don’t look great at all?

Thanks and regards,
