Hi @weju,
I’m checking with our team regarding whats the expected behaviour and whether it’ll require custom css or not.
Will keep you posted once we get further updates.

Hello @weju ,
Thank you for reaching out!
At the moment, Forminator doesn’t provide a built-in option to style the “No file chosen” text directly in the form settings. However, it can be customized using a small CSS snippet:
.forminator-file-upload > span[data-empty-text="No file chosen"] {
color: #d31717 !important;
}
Note: Make sure you update the CSS snippet with the color you prefer.
You can add the CSS code via Forminator → Forms → Edit Form → Custom CSS → Enable Custom CSS, then past the code there.
Please let us know if this answers your question or if you need any further assistance — we’ll be happy to help.
Best regards,
Mina Emad
Hi @minaemad
Please, refrain from mentioning
“At the moment, Forminator doesn’t provide a built-in option to style the “No file chosen” text directly in the form settings” after our official support post, this mislead the thread owner to believe we heard back from the developers, furthermore, your information isn’t fully accurate.
@weju Could you please let us know if you are using Multiple upload field, with that upload type would be possible switching the text colour, but I am also looking to understand the “On a french dashborard of wordpresse i know how to do but in a english wordpress”, are you using any translation plugin such as WPML ?

hello, i use a single uploa field.
I don’t use any translation plugin. I have some website in french and other in english. So i can use forminator in english and in french, it depends the website i edit.
So I used the css of @minaemad (thanks ! i forgot to respond you) and it works.

Hello @weju,
You’re very welcome — glad to hear that the CSS solution worked for you!
Thank you for the update and clarification. Yes, the “No file chosen” text is specific to the “Single File Upload” field, so it absolutely makes sense that you’re using it in this case. And the only possible way to style this text at the moment is by using a custom CSS snippet (in case you can’t style it using your theme’s options).
That said, we’d recommend also trying the “Multiple Files Upload” option, as it offers more flexibility when it comes to styling and control over the field’s behavior. You can still limit it to a single file by setting the “Limit Number of Files“ to 1, so it behaves similarly while giving you more customization options.
For further information on how to create and edit the “File Upload” field inside Forminator Forms, please refer to the official documentation at https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#file-upload-field.

Hello @weju,
Thank you for your feedback!
Just to clarify, this isn’t considered a “bug” in the strict sense. That said, we completely understand your point, and we’ll be happy to pass your feedback along to our development team for consideration in future improvements.

Hey there @weju
Just to better clarify things here, and as Mina Emad mentioned above:
“we’ll be happy to pass your feedback along to our development team for consideration in future improvements.” … Mina is not working for WPMU DEV, and should be considered more of a community supporter, so I’m not sure why that was mentioned in the first place. Anyway, you can easily spot whoever works for WPMU DEV based on their profile name and avatar (there’s also a “Plugin Support” tag added to their replies when it comes to WPMU DEV plugins). As for your feedback, that was already shared internally. 🙂
Warm regards,
Dimitris
