    A custom field that we created several years ago and has always worked is no longer working.

    It’s a compulsory field with just a text area. However even when it has been completed correctly with information within the text box, when you go to submit the form, it is not being recognised that it has been completed and an error message appears:

    ‘Billing event Details’ is a required field.

    Please can you let me know if this is something you can look into. The plugin was updated today so could this be an issue with the latest update?

    Hi lanxalot

    Thank you for your message. Could you provide me with a screen displaying the field setup? I mean general tab? Does the field have conditional logic set up?

    I would appreciate your telling me the plugin, WordPress, WooCommerce, and PHP versions you currently use on your store.

    Kind regards,

    Hi, thanks for your reply.

    The screenshot shows that the ‘Required Field’ is unticked as this is a current work around we have to allow the form to be sent. As soon we we make the field compulsory, the form won’t send anymore. It’s a very simple Text Area field with no conditional logic or any other parameters other than it should be compulsory for visitors to complete.

    Flexible Checkout Fields Version 4.1.3

    Woocommerce: Version 8.6.1

    WordPress Version 6.4.3

    PHP V 8.0

    Thanks for looking into this.

    I’ve deleted your offer to login to your user’s site. I’m am 100% sure you mean well but please never ask for credentials on these forums.

    Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.

    If something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided without warranty.

    Please be aware that repeatedly asking for credentials will result in us escalating this to the plugins team.

    It’s never necessary to do that. Here’s why.

    There are many ways to get information you need and accessing the user’s site is not one of them. That’s going too far.

    • Ask for a link to the https://pastebin.com/ or https://gist.github.com log of the user’s web server error log.
    • Ask the user to create and post a link to their phpinfo(); output.
    • Ask the user to install the Health Check plugin and get the data that way.
    • Walk the user through enabling WP_DEBUG and how to log that output to a file and how to share that file.
    • Walk the user through basic troubleshooting steps such and disabling all other plugins, clear their cache and cookies and try again.
    • Ask the user for the step-by-step on how they can reproduce the problem.

    You get the idea.

    Volunteer support is not easy. But these forums need to a safe place for all users, experienced or new. Accessing their system that way is a short cut that will get you into real trouble in these forums.

    You’ve been placed on “modwatch” until we’re convinced such postings have stopped. Your account has not been banned, we just want to check things for a while before they’re public. If you wish to take issue with this, contact moderators via email at [email protected]

    Hi lanxalot, Steven Stern

    I want to apologize for my last post. Steve, you are right, and it will not happen again.

    We tested that field on our test environments and couldn’t reproduce the error.

    The developer suspects that the field was modified by another plugin, the theme.

    This problem may be related to other plugins used in your shop. Please try to isolate an issue, by disabling plugins which are not our or WooCommerce. Then please enable plugins one by one, delete the cache, and check if the problem still exists.

    If yes, please test the plugin again, but now using Storefront – the official WooCommerce theme. It will help us identify a possible conflict with your theme.

    Please, let me know about the result.

    Best Regards,
