Change 'post published' text

I don’t suggest editing files o your wordpress but if you insist,i guess you can do this. Please try it and see if it works. You can do it by going to wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php and opening this file and editing below line:
6 => sprintf( __('Post published. <a href="%s">View post</a>'), esc_url( get_permalink($post_ID) ) ),

Thanks for the info, but I said above I don’t want to edit WordPress files, I am looking for a solution that can be updated in my theme if possible?

Thanks,

Ian

You might be able to do something via the 'post_updated_messages' filter. But this is not something I’ve tried myself, so this is totally untested:

function my_post_published_message( $messages ) {
	$messages['page'][6] = sprintf( __('Your message here') );
	return $messages;
}
add_filter( 'post_updated_messages', 'my_post_published_message' );

Thanks @esmi, unfortunately that code didn’t work. Still returned the default message.

Can you try:

function my_post_published_message( $messages ) {
	$messages['page'][6] = sprintf( __('Your message here') );
echo '<pre>';
print_r($messages);
echo '</pre>';
	return $messages;
}
add_filter( 'post_updated_messages', 'my_post_published_message' );

to see if anything is output?

Yes, the following (before I have published the project:

Thanks,

Try:

function my_post_published_message( $messages ) {
	$messages['post'][6] = sprintf( __('Your message here') );
	return $messages;
}
add_filter( 'post_updated_messages', 'my_post_published_message' );

Nailed it ??

Cheers @esmi

Cool! ??
