Add "You have already subscribed!" post-message if someone tries to re-subscribe

Topic summary

Issue: In the Shopify Prestige theme, the newsletter form only shows a success message for new signups. When an already-subscribed email is entered, the page refreshes without any feedback; the requester wants a post-submit message like “You have already subscribed!”.

Suggested fix: A community link was provided with steps/code intended to add an “already subscribed” language/message state.

Current status: The provided code did not work for the requester. No troubleshooting details, alternative code, or theme-specific guidance were shared.

Outcome: No resolution yet. Next steps would require either debugging why the linked solution fails in Prestige or providing an alternative method to detect and display an “already subscribed” message.

Notes: The discussion references an external thread; no images or attachments are essential to understanding the issue.

Hi,
In the Prestige theme language settings, it seems there’s only a post-submit message if someone has subscribed to our mailing list. But when a subscribed e-mail tries to sign up again, the page refreshes and does nothing and does not give an error message like “You have already subscribed!”

How can I add a “You have already subscribed!” post-message if someone tries to re-subscribe?
