Relabeling fields on submission form

    Hi, I have a couple of questions regarding the labels on the submission form:

    1. I’d like to edit the labels for the fields (eg, “Post title”/”Post content”) to say something different. Is there an en.po file I can run through poedit to rename the labels?

    2. I have created a custom field where users can enter a copyright. I have labeled the field “Copyright” – the problem is that this label is doubling up when the post is submitted, ie, it will appear after the post saying “Copyright: Copyright: 2019 John Smith”. Is there any way to fix that?

    Thanks!
    Adrian

    Glad to help:

    1) No but it is possible to set up and use the custom USP form. That would enable you to tweak any details (like labels and placeholders) that are necessary. You can find complete steps for the custom form in the plugin readme/docs.

    2) I’m not sure if I understand correctly, can you maybe link to a screenshot or clarify further, so I can try to understand and help asap, thanks.

    Excellent, that worked perfectly! Thanks very much, the form is now customized.

    Regarding #2: in the settings screen, when I set up the custom field, I have entered “Copyright” as both the Custom Field Name and Custom Field Label. I set the custom field to appear at the end of the post.

    Then I go to do a test post and enter “2019 John Smith” in the custom field. The post is submitted successfully. However, when I look at the end of the post, instead of saying “Copyright: 2019 John Smith”, it says “Copyright: Copyright: 2019 John Smith”. I’m wondering what I can do to get rid of the extra “Copyright:”.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks Jeff. For Auto-Display Custom Field, I have “Auto-display after post content” checked.

    For Custom Field Markup, I have <p>%%custom_label%% : %%custom_name%% : %%custom_value%%</p>

    Regards

    That is the reason. Change the “Custom Field Markup” setting to this:

    <p>%%custom_label%% : %%custom_value%%</p>
