Display Custom Success Message in WordPress Forms
In order to assure a user that his/her form submission has been successful, sites often display a success message. If you host a professional registration based site, then you might want to display custom success message in WordPress to confirm every successful submission. Users feel prioritized when they know they are being monitored by an authorized site owner.
RegistrationMagic allows users to create intelligent forms to serve different purposes. But the success message for every form is in general, the same. The success message displays itself on the frontend of your site.
With our WordPress registration forms plugin, you don’t need to work much to configure a success message. You can actually display custom success message in WordPress using just the “Configure” section of this plugin.
One can choose to redirect users to a different page after form submission and display success message in WordPress. One can also keep the user on the same page and display the message there itself. So, let’s proceed with our today’s tutorial, where we discuss how to display custom success message in WordPress.
Navigate to Customize the Success Message
From your WP Dashboard click on the plugin menu. The first tab underlying this plugin is the “All Forms” tab. Archived in this section is each and every form created to date.
In this example, we configure success message for users submitting the General Purpose Form.
Hover your cursor on the form card and click on the Dashboard link. Using this section, you can manage, analyze and configure forms. From here, you also get to set WordPress user roles.
Scroll down directly to the Post Submission area. This area allows you to manage activities after a successful form submission. Using this section, you can also display success message in WordPress. So now, go to the Post Submission area to configure your success message.
Configuring the Success Message
The primary field allows you to write a success message inside the input box. This is the message which users will see upon successful form submissions. You can even add media files such as an image or video to decorate the success message. In this instance, we use “General Purpose Form submitted. We are are reviewing your submission and will respond back soon.” as the success message.
Shared below is a screenshot displaying the success message on the frontend, post form submission. Your users need to complete filling the form. Then, click on “Submit” to view this message. You can also have payments associated with your form. There you have the liberty to make your users submit form before collecting payment.
Other fields in this section help you display a unique token number. Turning on the “Auto Reply” feature sends the unique token to the mailbox of the user once they submit the form.
Toggling the “Redirection” field takes the user to a different page after form submission. You can paste the URL or the page link where you want to redirect the user after form submission.
The last option lets you submit form data to an external URL. This is useful if you want form submission data to be processed on an another server. As a result, you can maintain a different database for form submissions.
You saw how easy it was to display custom success message in WordPress. Online form creation becomes really smooth with this plugin. It also lets you create intelligent contact forms along with user registration forms. There are several fields to choose from to create functional forms. No need to code or design pages. Thus, even amateurs prefer this plugin.

How to hide the success message? I want just redirection to My account page only (which already redirected) and there is no need of show the success message
Hi Brad,
The form submission message is part of RegistrationMagic’s form submission process and cannot be skipped. Redirection after form submission only happens after displaying this message.
