    Are there any error message hooks which I could use to display custom error messages if for e.g when insert of data to database fail?

    Currently using:

    $result = $wpdb->query($sql);
if(!$result) {
$wpcf7->skip_mail = true;
$error = 'An error has occurred. Please contact the administrator for assistance. <br />Error: '.$wpdb->last_error;
$omsg = 'return "'. $error .'";';
add_filter('wpcf7_display_message', create_function('$a', $omsg));
}

    that shows the message in green. Any ways to make the message shown on the front end red instead?

    Use the wpcf7_form_response_output filter (found in includes/contact-form.php) to add a class to the response box and in your theme’s stylesheet, add a CSS style rule for the class that makes the message red.

    Thank you for your response.
    I would like to ask how do I use that filter as I am facing some issue trying to use it

    This is what I have done which does not work. Would appreciate your guidance here.

    $wpcf7->skip_mail = true;
$content = __('You have already subscribed to our event.',CURRENT_THEME);
$class = 'wpcf7-validation-errors';
$output = sprintf( '<div class="%1$s">%2$s</div>', $class,  $content );
add_filter( 'wpcf7_form_response_output', $output, $class, $content, $wpcf7 );

    I have found one plugin which is provide admin settings for different error message form different fields.

    Means if you have field Name then contact form 7 Provide error message “Please fill required field” , but by using this plugin you can add “Please enter your name”. You can do it without any customization.

    Have great experience with this plugin , that to author.
