first name mandatory.png

Hi, I wanted to know how do I make some fields in the user registration mandatory in the frontend?

For example I want to make the first name mandatory. How you do it?

Then I wanted to know if I can make sure that when a registered user, goes to the page to post a new post, he does not have to re-enter his name, but will already be inserted according to what he entered when he registered. (with conditional logic ... but how)

Possible?

Hello,

Since the "first name" user field is not a mandatory field by default, so there isn't such a built-in feature within Toolset form too.

As a workaround, you can try to setup some custom JS codes to add "required" attribute to those user fields, for example, edit your user form for creating user, click "JS Editor", add below JS codes:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  $('input[name="first_name"]').attr('required', 'required');
})

More help:
hidden link
HTML <input> required Attribute
