frm_invalid_error_message

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.

This hook allows the modification of the message shown at the top of a form when there is an invalid field entry. The default invalid field message says "There was a problem with your submission. Errors are marked below."

Usage

add_filter('frm_invalid_error_message', 'change_frm_form_error_message', 10, 2);

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

Parameters

  • $invalid_msg (string)
  • $args (array):
    • 'form' (object)

Examples

Change the invalid field message for a single form

Use the code below to change the invalid field error message for a single form. Replace 123 with the ID of your form. Replace 'My custom error message' with your custom error message.

add_filter('frm_invalid_error_message', 'change_frm_form_error_message', 10, 2);
function change_frm_form_error_message( $invalid_msg, $args ) {
    if ( $args['form']->id == 123 ) {
        $invalid_msg = 'My custom error message';
    }
    return $invalid_msg;
}
