On the signup page for oregonfarmlink.org (hidden link) we have a lot of required fields. However, on the you can submit the form with just filling out the standard wordpress required fields (username, password, name, address) and not the toolset user form required fields (for example, What are you most interested in using this site for?), and it goes through. If you don't enter one of the standard required fields, it will then make you fill in every required field, but if you fill in the WordPress ones first, it won't require the other required fields.

Hi,

Welcome to Toolset support. According to the ticket below:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/required-fields-in-front-end-forms/

Toolset can not make a field required in the form if the field is not set as required when added in the Toolset > Custom Fields.

So please make sure that you make that change there and test if it works for you.

Thanks.

The user fields in question are required. For example, "How did you hear about us?" and "County OFL Users" - see screeenshot.

Hi,

I'd appreciate it if you could give me the URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard after you make sure that you have a backup of your website.
It is absolutely important that you give us a guarantee that you have a backup so if something happens you will have a point of restore.

Make sure you set the next reply as private.

I will try to check and see if there is an issue with the settings or not.

Thanks.
