[Resolved] Many to Many default no match/no results found message

I have many:many relationship forms.

In the one:many relationship forms, when a wrongly spelled or non-existent post is typed in it says "no results found".

But in my many:many relationship forms, it says "No (cpt) can be associated to (post title)". This is confusing to the user. I would rather it say "no results found" like the other forms, or "does not match available selections" or something like that.

I can't find where to make this change. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

You can customize that message with WP filter "gettext", for example, add below codes into your theme file "functions.php":

add_filter( 'gettext', function( $translated_text, $untranslated_text, $domain ) {
    if ( 'wp-cred' == $domain && 'No %POST_TYPE_LABEL% can be associated to %OTHER_POST_TITLE%' == $untranslated_text ) {
        $translated_text = 'no results found';
    }
	return $translated_text;
}, 10, 3 );

Thanks Luo, this worked great on a test site, but did not work on the actual site. Any ideas about what I might check/troubleshoot?

There might be some cache issue in your website, if you are using some other cache plugins, please try to clear cache and test again.

It was not a cache issue. It was a plugin conflict. Either way, all fixed, and thank you for your help.
