id summary reporter owner description type status priority milestone component version severity resolution keywords cc focuses 16243 Unhelpful error messages when updating default category iamfriendly "If we try and change the default category slug to one that has already been used we get conflicting error messages between quick edit and full edit. If you use Full Edit you're simply told ''Item Not Updated'' however, if you use quick edit, you are informed that the slug has already been used. The full edit error message is, I think, on line 223 of wp-admin/edit-tags.php - I'm unable to find where the error message for the quick edit functionality is, however. Having correct and useful copy in error messages is vital, especially for relative newcomers to WP. This oversight was found by Relly Annett-Baker (@RellyAB on twitter) - one of the best copy writers and content strategists out there. Perhaps we could look at overhauling the error messages and ask (someone like) Relly to give them a once-over or offer advice on them." enhancement new normal Taxonomy 3.0.4 normal needs-patch administration
