Change Error Message Text

  • Good afternoon, can anyone tell me how I can change the text of the error message “Cheatin’ uh?” when a non-administrator user tries to access a banned section by mistake?

    I don’t want to remove the error message and am not looking for a way to fix it.

    It seems unprofessional to me for a client to receive a “Cheatin’ uh?” message.
    So I would just like to know how I can change the text of the error message (and possibly its translation).

    Thank you very much!

  • You can use the str_replace.
    Just put this in your functions file:

    function replace_text($text) {
   $text = str_replace('Cheatin’ uh?', 'You do not have access to this page', $text);
   return $text;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'replace_text');

    You mauy have to escpape the apostrophe in Cheatin’, like this:
    Cheat\’in

    Hopefully the function will kick off before the message displays. You would have to test it.
