Hello,

How do you setup the validation error message "Fields with an asterisk are required" in your screenshot?

Are you using filter hook "cred_form_validate" to setup custom codes for those validation error message? please provide detail steps to duplicate same problem, thanks.

I have tried it in my localhost, with a fresh WordPress installation + the latest version of Toolset plugins, using below steps:
1) Create a custom required field "test-s4", see screenshot required-field.JPG
2) Create a post form for creating post, with above field "test-s4"
3) Test above post form in front-end, submit the form, I can see the error message just above field "test-s4", see screenshot required-field-2.JPG

Are we talking about the message "This field is required" just above field "test-s4"?

Hi Luo,

I'm using the validation under Post Field Group.
I'm attaching a screenshot.

Thanks.

Are we talking about the message "This field is required" just above field "test-s4"?

Thanks for the details, how and where do you want to highlight the problematic fields?
By default, Toolset Forms plugin will show an error message just above the the problematic field, see screenshot I provided above:
