This was working previously (for a couple of years) but stopped working correctly at some point in the last month or so.

I have a front-end (CRED) form to a CPT. hidden link (must be logged in)
The first field to fill in is the Title.
In this case its is Job Title but it is the post title in the CPT "Jobs."

When a user fills out the form to add a job and properly add the title, they get an error:
"Job Title This field is required" - even though the field was filled out.
Also, all the other fields are cleared (which I don't think normally happens when a required field isn't filled out.

I've turned off all caching. I have not gone through the pain of turning off other plugins. Will need to make a copy of the site or test during off hours.

Hoping for clues of what to look for first.

Hi Peter

Are you using the Events Calendar plugin?

Yes, we use the Events Calendar plugin. It was helpful to have pin-pointed plugin vs. going the disable-route. The Ajax work around did the trick. It will be interesting to learn if there will be a fix either by Events Calendar or Toolset, especially considering how long this has been an issue (over six months, based on indicated versions).
