Changing Jetpack Contact Form Submit button

    Hi, I am using the WordPress 4.8.2 running the Twenty Seventeen theme. I have searched this forum and online for answers but cannot find anything that works for me.

    Initially I followed Jetpack’s advice for changing the Submit button text https://jetpack.com/support/contact-form/#customize-submit
    I changed it to to Send and it worked. Today the text has returned to Submit.

    When I re-enter [contact-form submit_button_text='Send'] I see only code on the page. I have removed [contact-form submit_button_text='Send'] for the time being as I want the form there. I can recreate what i’ve been seeing if need be.

    I’m wondering if I may have typed something incorrectly after trying to change the colour of the button yesterday, then deciding against that.
    Here is what I have, is it correct –
    [contact-form submit_button_text='Send'][contact-form to="me@gmail.com" subject="Contact from plinthism.com"][contact-field label="Name" type="name"][contact-field label="Email" type="email"][contact-field label="Message" type="textarea"][/contact-form]

    Can anyone please let me know if it is wrong and if so, what should it be?

    Here is what I have, is it correct –
    [contact-form submit_button_text=’Send’][contact-form to=”me@gmail.com” subject=”Contact from plinthism.com”][contact-field label=”Name” type=”name”][contact-field label=”Email” type=”email”][contact-field label=”Message” type=”textarea”][/contact-form]

    This won’t work I’m afraid. Try the following instead:

    [contact-form to="me@gmail.com" submit_button_text="Send" subject="Contact from plinthism.com"][contact-field label="Name" type="name"][contact-field label="Email" type="email"][contact-field label="Message" type="textarea"][/contact-form]

    Brilliant it worked, thank you so much Jeremy.

    Maybe you could change the information at the link I gave above or maybe that works for other people and not me. From that information, I copied and pasted the code and changed my details but it seems the problem was that submit_button_text goes after contact-form-to and not before.

    Again, thanks you very much for your help.

    The order doesn’t really matter; you can’t, however, use the contact-form shortcode twice. It appears that was the issue you were having earlier. I’m glad to hear that you’re all set now!

    Oh, thank you for getting to the bottom of this and explaining what had happened 🙂
