 * Hi, I went into the functions.php file in the includes folder to change the message
   it sends after a successful submission. I put in the new message “I’ll be in 
   touch soon,” as shown below, but I’m still getting the default message i.e. “
   Your message was sent successfully. Thanks”
 * How can I change this?
 *     ```
       function wpcf7_messages() {
       	$messages = array(
       		'mail_sent_ok' => array(
       			'description' => __( "Sender's message was sent successfully", 'wpcf7' ),
       			'default' => __( 'I'll be in touch soon.', 'wpcf7' )
       		),
       ```
