Does anyone know a way to edit the wordpress errors that appear on the registration screen and lost passwords screen:

Lost password screen error ERROR: Enter a username or email address.

Registration screen error: ERROR: Please type your email address.

Thanks :-)

Answer 1

you can change the message in login screen by using login_errors filter hook, just paste this code in the themes functions.php file :

add_filter('login_errors','login_error_message');

function login_error_message($error){
     //check if that's the error you are looking for
     $pos = strpos($error, 'incorrect');
     if (is_int($pos)) {
         //its the right error so you can overwrite it
         $error = "Wrong information";
     }
     return $error;
}
