Parsley custom error message doesn't work

Question

I have the following input field:

<input id="name" name="real_name" type="text" placeholder="ie. Your full name or company name" class="form-control input-lg parsley-validated"
   data-required="true" parsley-error-message="Please insert your name" >

However, when I press my submit button, I only get the standard This value is required. message.

Can anyone tell me why?

Answer 1

Try

data-parsley-required-message="Please insert your name"

Answer 2

Try this attribute instead of parsley-error-message:

data-parsley-required-message="Please insert your name"

It's not a custom error message for custom validator. You need to override the default 'required' error message with your one.
