Well - as I mentioned with the following replay:
=> https://toolset.com/forums/topic/taxonomies-required-multiple-form-ids-in-the-same-function/#post-872628

When I checked it used to work when you submit the form without selecting any taxonomy term. Could you please confirm where exactly you are having the issue and with which form?

It's not working on these form, the taxonomies are not showing required when submitting the form -
hidden link
hidden link

Code below has been used -

add_filter('cred_form_validate', 'validate_form',10,2);
function validate_form( $data ) {
// Split $field_data into separate $fields and $errors
list( $fields,$errors ) = $field_data;

$form_ids = array( 17097,17313 ); // change form IDs here
if (in_array($form_data['id'], $form_ids)) {

// check at least one of required taxonomies set
if ( empty( $fields['contract-research']['value'] ) && empty( $fields['environmental']['value'] ) && empty( $fields['medtech']['value'] ) && empty( $fields['professional-services']['value'] ) && empty( $fields['therapeutics']['value'] ) && empty( $fields['wellness']['value'] )) {

$errors['contract-research'] = 'Environmental, Medtech, Professional Services, Therapeutics, Wellness: You must choose at least one sector';
}

// also check for some other unrelated taxonomy
if ( empty( $fields['location']['value'] ) ) {

$errors['location'] = 'You must select a location';
}

// also check for some other unrelated taxonomy
if ( empty( $fields['company-type']['value'] ) ) {

$errors['company-type'] = 'You must select a company type';
}

// also check for some other unrelated taxonomy
if ( empty( $fields['company-type']['value'] ) ) {

$errors['job-category'] = 'You must select a company type';
}
}

return array($fields,$errors);
}

Well - again, I added following code to your current theme's functions.php file:

add_filter('cred_form_validate_17097','validate_my_form_17097',10,2);
function validate_my_form_17097( $field_data, $form_data) {
    // Split $field_data into separate $fields and $errors
list( $fields,$errors ) = $field_data;
 
    
                // check at least one of required taxonomies set
                    if ( empty( $fields['contract-research_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['environmental_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['medtech_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['professional-services_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['therapeutics_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['wellness_hierarchy']['value'])) {
              
                        $errors['contract-research_hierarchy'] = 'Environmental, Medtech, Professional Services, Therapeutics, Wellness:  You must choose at least one sector';
                    }
 
                    if ( empty( $fields['location']['value']) ) {
               
                        $errors['location'] = 'You must select a location';
                    }
                    if ( empty( $fields['company-type']['value']) ) {
               
                        $errors['company-type'] = 'You must select a company type';
                    }
            
        return array($fields,$errors);
}

The above code is to validate the following form and I can see its working fine:
=> hidden link

Now, you should create another function to validate the CRED form with ID = 17313.
=> hidden link

For example:

add_filter('cred_form_validate_17313','validate_my_form_17313',10,2);
function validate_my_form_17313( $field_data, $form_data) {
    // Split $field_data into separate $fields and $errors
list( $fields,$errors ) = $field_data;
 
       /// ADD HERE YOUR VALIDATIONS TO VALIDATE THIS FORM JUST LIKE ABOVE HOOK    
            
        return array($fields,$errors);
}

Sorry I thought I had replied to this last week.

I updated the code and the most of it is working now, apart from the below, which is still not working, I have tested the form a few time to make sure -

if ( empty( $fields['contract-research_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['environmental_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['medtech_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['professional-services_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['therapeutics_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['wellness_hierarchy']['value']) ) {

$errors['contract-research_hierarchy'] = 'Environmental, Medtech, Professional Services, Therapeutics, Wellness: You must choose at least one sector';

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Full Code -

add_filter('cred_form_validate_17097','validate_my_form_17097',10,2);
function validate_my_form_17097( $field_data, $form_data) {
// Split $field_data into separate $fields and $errors
list( $fields,$errors ) = $field_data;

// check at least one of required taxonomies set
if ( empty( $fields['contract-research_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['environmental_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['medtech_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['professional-services_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['therapeutics_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['wellness_hierarchy']['value']) ) {

$errors['contract-research_hierarchy'] = 'Environmental, Medtech, Professional Services, Therapeutics, Wellness: You must choose at least one sector';
}

if ( empty( $fields['location']['value']) ) {

$errors['location'] = 'You must select a location';
}
if ( empty( $fields['company-type']['value']) ) {

$errors['company-type'] = 'You must select a company type';
}

return array($fields,$errors);
}

add_filter('cred_form_validate_17313','validate_my_form_17313',10,2);
function validate_my_form_17313( $field_data, $form_data) {
// Split $field_data into separate $fields and $errors
list( $fields,$errors ) = $field_data;

// check at least one of required taxonomies set
if ( empty( $fields['location']['value']) ) {

$errors['location'] = 'You must select a location';
}
if ( empty( $fields['job-category']['value']) ) {

$errors['job-category'] = 'You must select a job category';
}

return array($fields,$errors);
}

Hello,

Minesh is on vacation, you will get the answer as soon as As soon as he gets back on Monday

[Minesh]

Well - we need to go step by step now. Its all become more confusing.

This is the form:
=> hidden link

For above form - following are validation rules:

add_filter('cred_form_validate_17097','validate_my_form_17097',10,2);
function validate_my_form_17097( $field_data, $form_data) {
    // Split $field_data into separate $fields and $errors
list( $fields,$errors ) = $field_data;
  
     
                // check at least one of required taxonomies set
                    if ( empty( $fields['contract-research_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['environmental_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['medtech_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['professional-services_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['therapeutics_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['wellness_hierarchy']['value'])) {
               
                        $errors['contract-research_hierarchy'] = 'Environmental, Medtech, Professional Services, Therapeutics, Wellness:  You must choose at least one sector';
                    }
  
                    if ( empty( $fields['location']['value']) ) {
                
                        $errors['location'] = 'You must select a location';
                    }
                    if ( empty( $fields['company-type']['value']) ) {
                
                        $errors['company-type'] = 'You must select a company type';
                    }
             
        return array($fields,$errors);
}

You mean to say with above form - following part of validation is not working?

if ( empty( $fields['contract-research_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['environmental_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['medtech_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['professional-services_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['therapeutics_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['wellness_hierarchy']['value'])) {
               
                        $errors['contract-research_hierarchy'] = 'Environmental, Medtech, Professional Services, Therapeutics, Wellness:  You must choose at least one sector';
                    }

[leilaG]

Hey Minesh,

Yes that's correct, the below part of the validation is not working -

if ( empty( $fields['contract-research_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['environmental_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['medtech_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['professional-services_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['therapeutics_hierarchy']['value']) && empty( $fields['wellness_hierarchy']['value'])) {

$errors['contract-research_hierarchy'] = 'Environmental, Medtech, Professional Services, Therapeutics, Wellness: You must choose at least one sector';
}

[Minesh]

Well - to ensure to which site I should check the validation you said. Do you want me to check with live site or staging site.

If you want to make me to check on live site: hidden link

Could you please share FTP access details for it. As I see with each reply the FTP access is of staging site.

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

[Minesh]

Could you please check now. I've updated the code in your current theme's functions.php file as given under:

add_filter('cred_form_validate_17097','validate_my_form_17097',10,2);
function validate_my_form_17097( $field_data, $form_data) {
    // Split $field_data into separate $fields and $errors
list( $fields,$errors ) = $field_data;
 
    
                // check at least one of required taxonomies set
                    if ( empty( $fields['contract-research']['value']) && 
					     empty( $fields['environmental']['value']) && 
						 empty( $fields['medtech']['value']) && 
						 empty( $fields['professional-services']['value']) && 
						 empty( $fields['therapeutics']['value']) && 
						 empty( $fields['wellness']['value']) 
						 
						 ) {
              
                        $errors['contract-research'] = 'Environmental, Medtech, Professional Services, Therapeutics, Wellness:  You must choose at least one sector';
                    }
 
                    if ( empty( $fields['location']['value']) ) {
               
                        $errors['location'] = 'You must select a location';
                    }
                    if ( empty( $fields['company-type']['value']) ) {
               
                        $errors['company-type'] = 'You must select a company type';
                    }
            
        return array($fields,$errors);
}

I see its working now. The reason it was not working because checkboxes field names were different on your staging and live site. I've corrected the code as shared above and I can see its working now.

Could you please confirm it works as your end as well.

Brilliant! It's working 🙂 Thanks for all your help and troubleshooting.
