I’m afraid we do not offer this option yet, but I took note of your feedback, and we’ll consider adding an option to customize the button in a future Jetpack release!
Trac ticket: http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1742
We have now added a new shortcode parameter to allow you to customize the text of the Submit button. This change will be available in the next Jetpack release, and the parameter works like so:
[contact-form submit_button_text='Submit Now']
Does this short code work now? I am having trouble changing the text of the submit button.
The code works for me.
However I am trying to add a Font Awesome icon to my submit button. I am entering code as below, but it is not working. To put it another way Is there another way of adding a class to the button?
[contact-form submit_button_text='<i class="icon-envelope"></i> Submit Now']
You should not need to add a new class: you can use existing CSS classes to target the contact form button, like so:
.contact-form input[type="submit"] {
/* Custom Rules here */
}
You can also use the :before selector to place an element before the submit button:

Hi
It works as long as I write ‘Submit Now’ but if I change it to the Danish word it fails.
@indianer9 Could you please start your own thread, as per the Forum Welcome?

Could you also let me know what Danish word you’re trying to use?
Thank you!
Hi Jeremy,I have the ocntact form on a page on our WordPRess.org site but no matter where I paste the short code, it make my form disappear.
I am not too technical. Could you tell me where the code you provided should go? Would like to change the Submit Now text.
Here is the code for my form.
[contact-form to='name@mygoforthegreen.com' subject='Skill Advisor Question']<span style="color: #96d440;">[contact-field label='Name' type='name' required='1'/][contact-field label='Email' type='email' required='1'/][contact-field label='Question' type='textarea' required='1'/]</span>[/contact-form]
Thanks for any help you can provide, Linda
@irenelinda Could you please start your own thread, as I mentioned above?
I’m sorry, Jeremy. I missed the “Resolved” button and thought my note sort of continued the conversation (despite having read your post to indianer9). Sorry.
