### 󠀁[Does not save any settings](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-save-any-settings/)󠁿

I was looking forward to this working to save me time, but whenever I try saving
the custom error messages, nothing gets saved, not even the switch to turn them 
on. I had to deactivate and delete this plugin and now I have to write my own jquery.
Very frustrating.

### 󠀁[New version 1.2 renders your website inoperable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-version-1-2-renders-your-website-inoperable/)󠁿

Apparently when author of this plugin decided to push update 1.2 he forgot to include
the file which is required by plugin to operate. If you have this plugin active 
on your website, missing file renders your whole website inoperable with a critical
error. Warning: require_once(/app/wp-content/plugins/cf7-custom-error-messages/cf7-
custom-error-message-settings.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory.

### 󠀁[A bit buggy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-bit-buggy-2/)󠁿

 [jamesadvantec](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jamesadvantec/) May 19, 2017

I have two fields, a text field and a checkbox group. I head over to the “custom
errors” tab and see three options: Error Message For : email 968 Error Message For
Valid : email 968 Error Message For : checkbox 1 So I complete all of these, however
after saving, my text for the first email option disappears. My custom message for
the checkbox group also doesn’t work (and yes, I have checked “enable custom messages
for this form”). Could be a great plugin, if it worked.

### 󠀁[Its Awesome!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/its-awesome-37/)󠁿

 [m1tk00](https://profiles.wordpress.org/m1tk00/) December 2, 2016

This plugin saved me a lot of time! Great job. Small correction that i might add
regarding the email type fields is that you don’t need the “else” case in the file
cf7-custom-error-message.php on line 128! It doesn’t save the default invalid message
this way that makes the error message empty. Once again good job!
