Change default messages, and animation of validation

Welcome back Ntel! Hope you’re well.

1. To customize the message, use this filter function:

add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-general-error-response', 'yikes_mailchimp_customize_email_is_invalid_message', 10, 3 );

function yikes_mailchimp_customize_email_is_invalid_message( $original_response_text, $user_defined_response_text, $form_id ) {

	if ( strpos( $original_response_text, 'looks fake or invalid' ) !== false ) {
		return 'This is the custom message to return when an email looks fake or invalid.';
	}

	return $original_response_text;
}

2. You can use your own animations, remove our animations, and/or change the styles.

2.1. Remove our animations:

// Remove loading dots gif (submit button gif)
add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-loading-dots', '__return_false' );

// Remove spinning gif (form gif)
add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-preloader', '__return_false' );

2.2. Use your own animations:

// Remove loading dots gif (submit button gif)
add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-loading-dots', 'yikes_mc_change_submit_button_animation' );

function yikes_mc_change_submit_button_animation() {
	return 'url-to-gif';
}

// Remove spinning gif (form gif)
add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-preloader', 'yikes_mc_change_spinning_form_animation' );

function yikes_mc_change_spinning_form_animation() {
	return 'url-to-gif';
}

2.3. Let me know if you’d like to change the styles. The main selectors are:

.yikes-mailchimp-preloader{
    /* The form gif */
}

.yikes-mc-loading-dots {
    /* Submit button gif */
}

Cheers,
Kevin.
