frm_error_substrings_to_replace_with_field_name

Heads up! This article contains PHP code and is intended for developers. We offer this code as a courtesy, but don't provide support for code customizations or 3rd party development.

By default, errors will replace This field and This value settings values dynamically with the field name. This filter allows you to:

  • Only dynamically replace [field_name] shortcodes.
  • Add additional substrings for replacement.
  • Add additional translated strings, if you wanted to convert more substrings universally in a single place.

Usage

add_filter( 'frm_error_substrings_to_replace_with_field_name', 'replace_with_field_name');

Formidable Forms makes advanced site building simple. Launch forms, directories, dashboards, and custom WordPress apps faster than ever before.

Parameters

  • None

Examples

Only replace [field_name] shortcodes

add_filter( 'frm_error_substrings_to_replace_with_field_name', 'replace_with_field_name');
function replace_with_field_name() {
	return array( '[field_name]' );
}
