    Hey 🙂

    can I control the placement of the error message users may produce signing up?

    The page containing the signup form is pretty long, so if a user creates an error, the page reloads but he might miss the message and maybe even think that he succesfully signed up, cause its way down there…

    Is there a way to have the error message displayed on top?
    Or is there a way to jump to that section where the form is when the page reloads?

    Thanks so much 🙂

    It’s not possible to separate the form error messages, they need to be displayed by the same template that shows the form.

    The form submission is designed to scroll to the top if there is a form validation error.

    If this isn’t working for you, it’s probably a conflict with another plugin or your theme, since it uses javascript to scroll to the error message when one is printed. You can open your Developer Toools and check the “console” tab to see if there are any javascript errors showing up when you submit the form.

    Hey,

    some errors yes, but i went the easy way and put the form on a separate page.
    Thank!
