Updated user cusom field url validation message.JPG
Frontent form user fields.JPG

I am trying to: update some of the custom fields in the user field group that are in use in the frontend form

Instead, I got: same as before update, no changes.

For example: Validation error message (added text in parentheses ), please see the images in the attachment...
Seems that other custom fields also won't make changes visible on the frontend (backend is updated)

I tried the usual procedure such as switching off other plugins, caching etc. No changes...

Regards,
Sinisa

Hello,

According to W3G definition, an valid URL value should include five components, for example:
scheme:[//authority]path[?query] [#fragment]

The "scheme" component is required, please try fill the value into custom URL field, like this:
hidden link

And test again

More help:
hidden link

No changes after edit.JPG

You did not understand me! 🙂
Please don't read the warning message, just note that it is not being updated ...
The problem is not what is written in the message, but that warning message does not change after Admin edit in the backend ...
The message has been changed (user custom field edited) and updated in the custom field, but is not visible on the frontend...
So in general, I can not get any update after editing of any user custom field on the fronted...

Thanks,
Sinisa

P.S.
(Although I have to add "http" to the alert message because users ask why they are getting an invalid url , they type with "www." .?) 🙂

Update custom field.JPG

Oh yes! Thank you!

Does it mean that CRED form messages override messages from the fields created in the user custom field group?

#2209635

Yes, you are right, CRED form messages will override messages from the fields created in the user custom field group
