no images were found – how to modify this message

Hi @rpittam ,

I am glad to help,

There is not an option to change that message out of the box, also modifying the plugin files is not a long-term solution as upon update, you will lose your changes.

I would recommend to maybe use a plugin like WPCode to insert a js snippet that changes the rendered message to something else, given the tags for the message is quite generic something like this might or might not work:

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    // Find the <p> element containing the text "no images were found"
    var noImagesText = document.querySelector("p:contains('no images were found')");
    
    // If the element is found, change its text content
    if (noImagesText) {
        noImagesText.textContent = "Images are coming, hang in there";
    }
});

Or you can use Loco Translate and add the string “no images were found” to the source of the language you are using, and then translate it into anything you need.

I hope this helps, please keep me posted

Thanks!

Hi @rpittam ,

We haven’t heard back from you in a few days, so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you’d like us to assist further, please feel welcome to continue the conversation (please just see my post above).
