add_settings_error() WordPress Function
The add_settings_error() function is used to add settings errors and warnings to the WordPress admin. This function is used internally by the Settings API to add errors and warnings to the WordPress admin.
add_settings_error( string $setting, string $code, string $message, string $type = 'error' ) #
Registers a settings error to be displayed to the user.
Description
Part of the Settings API. Use this to show messages to users about settings validation problems, missing settings or anything else.
Settings errors should be added inside the $sanitize_callback function defined in register_setting() for a given setting to give feedback about the submission.
