This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to change the following two text strings associated with Toolset's login forms:
1. ERROR: The password you entered for the username **USERNAME** is incorrect.
2. Unknown Error.
Solution: You can use the following function to override the two error messages you mentioned for the login form shortcode:
add_filter( 'gettext', 'tssupp_login_errors', 20, 3 );
function tssupp_login_errors( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
// change the text here to customize the messages.
$incorrect_msg = "The information you entered is incorrect.";
$unknown_msg = "There was an unexpected error, please try again.";
// do not edit below this line.
if ( !is_admin() ) {
switch ( $translated_text ) {
case 'The password you entered for the username %s is incorrect.' :
$translated_text = $incorrect_msg;
break;
case 'Unknown error.' :
$translated_text = $unknown_msg;
break;
}
}
return $translated_text;
}

I am not using the WPML plugin. I am using Astra theme and Toolset plugins only.
That's fine. The function I provided should be effective in this scenario. I am showing screenshots here so you can see how I added the custom function to a new custom code snippet in Toolset > Settings > Custom Code. I just tested with Astra, Types, Views, and Forms active in my test site, and I was able to see an updated error message in my local environment.
The "incorrect password" message now says "The information you entered is incorrect." instead of "The password you entered for the username someone@gmail.com is incorrect."
The "unknown error" message now says "There was an unexpected error, please try again." instead of "Unknown error."
You can customize these example messages in the code snippet if you'd like to display different messages.
