Explanation

If you want to change the text on a submit button in WordPress forms, here's a simple way to do it.

General WordPress Forms:

There's a function that lets you change the text on submit buttons.
It checks if the form is the one you want to modify. You can add conditions to target specific forms, like checking for a specific form ID or class.
By default, it changes the button text to "Your New Submit Text".
This function is connected to WordPress forms using a filter called submit_button_text_filter.

Contact Form 7:

For Contact Form 7, there's a separate function.
It checks if the form title matches the one you want to change.
If it matches, it updates the submit button text to "Your New Submit Text".
This function is connected to Contact Form 7 using a filter called wpcf7_form_elements.

Just replace "Your New Submit Text" with whatever text you want on your button, and make sure to adjust any conditions to target the right form.

Code
// Function to change the submit button text in WordPress forms
function wp_dudecom_change_submit_button_text( $button_text ) {
    // Check if the current form is the one you want to modify
    // You can add conditions here to target specific forms
    // For example, check for a specific form ID or class
    // if ( some_condition ) {
    //     return 'Your New Submit Text';
    // }

    // Change the submit button text
    return 'Your New Submit Text';
}

// Hook into the WordPress form filter to change the submit button text
add_filter( 'submit_button_text_filter', 'wp_dudecom_change_submit_button_text' );

// Example for Contact Form 7
function wp_dudecom_cf7_change_submit_button_text( $form ) {
    // Check if the form is the one you want to modify
    if ( strpos( $form->title, 'Your Form Title' ) !== false ) {
        // Change the submit button text
        $form->submit_button = '<input type="submit" value="Your New Submit Text" />';
    }
    return $form;
}

// Hook into Contact Form 7 to change the submit button text
add_filter( 'wpcf7_form_elements', 'wp_dudecom_cf7_change_submit_button_text' );
