Hi @alwanma27,

Can you please share an export of the form so we can take a closer look at this?

Please find more about how you can export a form here: https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export

You should share the export of the form using pastebin.com or Google Drive.

Kind Regards,
Nebu John

Hi @alwanma27

Thank you for response!

I’m not sure if you shared the code (the custom code, not the form) exactly as you are using it or if you have removed some custom API code but note please:

This code “as is” does not connect to any API and does not do any validation other than checking if serial number is equal to 1234. it’s just “skeleton” code with example of validation.

If you are using it exactly like this, the only case it will return “Invalid Serial Key” is if value of text-2 field is different than 1234; no check in any external API. To make sure, I have just tested it with you form and I can confirm it.

Now, if you need this to actually validate serial with some 3rd-party API, you do need to add entire additional piece of code instead of this part:

// Submit your API here, change the validation field if necessary
    // ...
    if( $serial !== '1234' ){
        $validate = false;
    }

Your code in this place needs to send $serial to your API and based on API response it must set $validate to true (if serial is fine) or false (if serial is not fine).

If you do already have that, please share a full code instead of this example (just mask/strip any API keys/credentials from it) so we could look into it and test it.

Note please: providing actual custom code to connect and handle any specific 3rd-party API is out of scope of this support.

Kind regards,
Adam

Hi @alwanma27

Thanks for response!

but what about my second question

I’m sorry, I missed it. Thanks for bringing it up!

You can customize error messages for separate fields directly – if they are set to be required – but there’s currently no setting for entire form.

There’s a filter hook in plugin so you can use a code like this to customize the message:

<?php 
add_action( 'forminator_custom_form_invalid_form_message', 'my_frmt_custom_error_message', 99, 2);
function my_frmt_custom_error_message( $msg, $form_id ) {
	
	// if you only want to apply it to certain form(s)
	// uncommet following 4 lines and add form IDs:
	
	
	//$form_ids = array( 123, 354 ); // list form IDs here
	//if ( !in_array( $form_id, $form_ids ) ) {
	//	return $msg;
	//}
	
	$msg = "Sorry, form is not correct!"; // put your custom error message here
	
	return $msg;
	

}

To add the code to the site as a Must Use plugin:

– create an empty file with a .php extension (e.g. “forminator-custom-form-error-message.php”)
– copy and paste code into it
– modify it according to comments in the code
– save the file and upload it (using FTP, cPanel File Manager or similar way) to the “/wp-config/mu-plugins” folder of your site’s WordPress install

It should work out of the box.

Best regards,
Adam
