When users registers I'd like them to enter an email address that they'll use to sign in (user_email) and a second email address which is a custom user field (wpcf-alt-email). I'd like to be able to validate the form on submission to ensure that the two email addresses are different.

I've tried this without success

add_filter('cred_form_validate','ts_validate_emails_493',10,2);
function ts_validate_emails_493 ( $field_data, $form_data ){
    
    if ($form_data['id']==493)    {
        
        list($fields,$errors)=$field_data;
        
        if ( $_POST ['wpcf-alt-email'] == ['user_email'] ) {
            $errors[] = 'Your email addresses are the same; please change one';
        }
    }
    return array($fields,$errors);
}

Any ideas please? Thank you!

Hi Julie,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

This method should work fine.

        if ( $fields['wpcf-alt-email'] ['value']== $fields['user_email']['value'] ) {

Changing your conditional statement to this should resolve the issue.

Thanks,
Shane
