Hi Vimal,

Thanks for sharing the update.

In my tests so far, I'm not able to make "cred_filter_field_before_add_to_form" hook work with the First and Last name fields.

Can you please share, how you managed to resolve this?

regards,
Waqar

Hi Vimal,

Just wanted to share an update with you and for anyone else who is following this thread, the code snippet from the other thread ( https://toolset.com/forums/topic/displaying-cred-error-messages-near-field-labels/ ), will need to be updated slightly, for PHP 7.1+:

//validtion for firstname and lastname in request login form
add_filter('cred_filter_field_before_add_to_form', 'required_fields_func', 10, 2);

function required_fields_func($field, $computed_values) {
	if (in_array($field['id'], array('first_name', 'last_name'))) {

		if (!is_array($field['data'])) {
			$field['data'] = array();
		}

		$field['data']['validate']['required'] = array(
			'active' => 1,
			'value' => 1,
			'message' => 'This field is required'
		);
	}
	return $field;
}

I hope this helps.

regards,
Waqar
