  Hi,

  Ive found a few people requesting how to change the validation message: “Validation failed. 2 fields require attention” on a front-end form, but have not come across an answer. Is there a function to change this?

  Thanks

  Hi there,

  Thanks for getting in touch.

  You can make use of the acf_reset_validation_errors() function to reset the current errors and then add some custom validation using this filter : https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-validate_save_post/

  You can see how the validation works on line 12688 of acf-input.js

  I hope this info helps. Thank you.
