Hi there,

I created a CRED form that allows logged in users to change their password. I embedded this form on a page with the permalink /change-password/. If a visitor visits this page when logged out (not likely, but it could happen), the form doesn't display, and instead the message "No user specified" appears. See the attached screenshot.

My question: can I customize this message? Or quell it (through PHP, not CSS)?

Thanks.

Saul

Hello,

It is possible with gettext filter, for example:

add_filter('gettext', function($translated_text, $untranslated_text, $domain){
    if($untranslated_text == 'No user specified' && $domain == 'wp-cred'){
        $translated_text = 'My No user specified message';
    }
    return $translated_text;
}, 10, 3);
