Hi Minesh, thank you for the answer. Q1 is solved. I have deactivated all unnecessary plugins. Used a standard theme. And creating an account now works.

So now Q2. To make some fields required. I use the expert mode of the form editor. And then:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="%%FORM_ID%%_first_name">[cred_i18n name='first_name-label']First name *[/cred_i18n]</label>
[cred_field field='first_name' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' required='true']
</div>
Code found here: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/forms/cred-shortcodes/#cred_field
But if I leave the field empty, it still is submitted.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please share admin access details and let me review whats going wrong with your setup.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Can you please try to add the following cod the "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
Or
To your current theme's functions.php file:

add_filter('cred_filter_field_before_add_to_form', 'func_set_firstname_lastname_required', 10, 2);
function func_set_firstname_lastname_required($field, $computed_values){

   $form_id = 0;
   $form_html_id = $field['form_html_id'];
    
   if ( isset($form_html_id) ) {
        $parts = explode( '_', $form_html_id);
        $form_id = (int) $parts[2];
    }
    $field_slugs = array('first_name', 'last_name');
    if(in_array($field['id'],$field_slugs)){
        $field['data']['validate']['required'] = array ( 
            'active' => 1, 
            'value' => 1, 
            'message' => 'This field is required.'
        ) ;
    }
    return $field;
}

Hi Minesh, thank you for help.
With the code provided I can still make an account without filling First en Last name.
When I change $form_id = 0; to $form_id = 3803; (My USerform ID number) still the same.

And when I use this code:
add_filter('cred_filter_field_before_add_to_form', 'required_user_fields_func', 10, 2);
function required_user_fields_func($field, $computed_values){
if(in_array($field['id'], array('first_name', 'last_name'))){
$field['data'] = is_array($field['data']) ? $field['data'] : array();
$field['data']['validate']['required'] = array (
'active' => 1,
'value' => 1,
'message' => 'This field is required'
);
}
return $field;
}
It's the same.
With all 3 I can make an account without any required field filling.

Is there something wrong with my form??

[Minesh]

Can you please tell me where exactly you added the code I shared and let me review whats going wrong with your setup.

Hi Minesh,
I added the code in the functions.php from my child theme. I have send you the credentials already, and the site is a copy of the live site. So feel free to check my setup.
Kind regards,

Can you please check now: hidden link

Actually when I logged in in the admin and I found that your current theme is twentytwentyfour.
- hidden link

I edit the functions.php file of the "twentytwentyfour" theme and added the following code:

add_filter('cred_filter_field_before_add_to_form', 'func_set_firstname_lastname_required', 10, 2);
function func_set_firstname_lastname_required($field, $computed_values){
 
   $form_id = 0;
   $form_html_id = $field['form_html_id'];
     
   if ( isset($form_html_id) ) {
        $parts = explode( '_', $form_html_id);
        $form_id = (int) $parts[2];
    }
    $field_slugs = array('first_name', 'last_name');
	
    if($form_id==3803 and in_array($field['id'],$field_slugs)){
	$field['data'] = is_array($field['data']) ? $field['data'] : array();
    $field['data']['validate']['required'] = array (
      'active' => 1,
      'value' => 1,
      'message' => 'This field is required'
    );
	}
    return $field;
}

I can see it makes the fields required. Can you please confirm it works at your end as well.
