Tell us what you are trying to do?
Make CRED user form that has First Name and Last Name required.

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

I have required='true' but the fields are not required. Why?

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Actually you can make these fields required by using our CRED custom validation hook.

https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_form_validate

This hook should allow you to check if the fields are empty and return an error prompt to the user so that they can fill in the required information.

Thanks,
Shane

So you're telling me that for a toolset I paid hundreds of dollars for, I have to write hooks just to make a standard WP user meta required?

Hi Oliver,

This is because the fields themselves are not required by wordpress so that non-requiremen is passed through to CRED.

If the fields are required by wordpress they will be required.

Thanks,

That doesn't explain it. Because fields made by types can be made required in cred. This is a serious flaw in your product. At every turn, things that other forms like Gravity Forms have for half the cost, you don't provide.

And you even have a hook for it, but your company chose not to include it in its final product.

Hi Oliver,

That is because we are working to make user creation more accessible and easier, we are continuously trying to improve on our Products and I could open a feature request for this.

But for now the way to do it is by using a hook to make the fields required.

Thanks,
Shane
