    Hello,

    I need to customize the error messages in wp-security-user-login.php. For example, when the message says “contact the administrator” I need to tell them exactly who to contact either by name or email address.

    Is there a way to override these messages in my functions.php file? I had to edit the plugin file for now, but, know it will get overwritten.

    Thank you!

    Hi, can you specify where that error message is coming from? Which action are you taking to display that error message?

    Thank you

    When a user has a failed login attempt they they get a message that says “contact the administrator”. I need to change that to say “contact Joe Smith”, for example. Our registered users will know who Joe Smith is, but they won’t know who the “administrator” is.

    So I am changing line 43 of classes/wp-security-user-login.php to be:
    return new WP_Error('authentication_failed', __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: You have had more than 3 failed log in attempts and will be locked out for 4 hours or you may contact Joe Smith</a> to request an unlock.', 'aiowpsecurity'));

    But, I don’t want to change the plugin file as it will be overwritten. Is there a way I can do this in my functions.php file?

    Thank You!
