   Hi

   Is it possible to get rid of "There was a problem with your submission. Errors have been highlighted below." when people don't fill in required fields? I think the red highlighting and "This field is required. Please enter a value." is sufficient for what we need, and the big box at the top makes the form too long.

   Thanks!

   You can edit "includes/view-functions.php" file, search around line 4336-4341 for this block of code:

   $form->error_message =<<<EOT
   			<li id="error_message">
   					<h3 id="error_message_title">{$mf_lang['error_title']}</h3>
   					<p id="error_message_desc">{$mf_lang['error_desc']}</p>
   			</li>
   EOT;

   simply remove that block of code.

   OK I just tried this Yuniar, the code in my view-functions.php looks a bit different to yours. Lines 4324 to 4336 have this:

   if(!empty($custom_error)){
   			$form->error_message =<<<EOT
   			<li id="error_message">
   					<h3 id="error_message_title">{$custom_error}</h3>
   			</li>
   EOT;
   		}elseif(!empty($error_elements)){
   			$form->error_message =<<<EOT
   			<li id="error_message">
   					<h3 id="error_message_title">{$mf_lang['error_title']}</h3>
   					<p id="error_message_desc">{$mf_lang['error_desc']}</p>
   			</li>
   EOT;

   Which bits should I change/delete?

   Please ignore me, I am an idiot. That worked perfectly, thanks for your help!

   With version 4, is this still the best method? I don't like editing the code as it is one more thing to have to remember when you upgrade. (Like the old custom-hooks hack).

   You can simply add CSS code into your form's theme for that.
   Add this code:

   #error_message {
     display: none !important;
   }

   that should hide the error message from your form, without the need of modifying any file.

   Thanks Yuniar, that CSS works great. Is there any way to also get rid of "This field is required. Please enter a value."? I think that simply having a red box is enough to alert the user to the problem.

   Having the red box color without any message would confuse people, in my opinion. However, if you prefer to do this, you can edit the "includes/language.php" file. Search for this code:

   $languages['val_required'] 	=	'This field is required. Please enter a value.';

   and change it to become:

   $languages['val_required'] 	=	'';
