    Hi, I have a registration form with a mobile phone field, and I wish to add validation to check if the number already exists, I’ve read the documentation but still not so clear for my level, could you please advice how?

    Thanks a lot!
    Mike

    Hi @mikey520

    You can try the following code snippet:

    add_action("um_submit_form_register","um_090321_mobile_number_validation");
function um_090321_mobile_number_validation( $post_form ){
  
    if(  isset( $post_form['mobile_number'] ) && ! empty( $post_form['mobile_number'] ) ){
        global $wpdb;

    $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->usermeta} WHERE meta_key = 'mobile_number' AND meta_value = %s", $post_form['mobile_number'] ) );
        if( $wpdb->num_rows > 0 )  {
            UM()->form()->add_error('mobile_number', __( 'Mobile Number already registered', 'ultimate-member' ) );
		}
	}  

}

    Ensure that the Mobile Number field has a meta key mobile_number in the Register form.

    You can add the code to your theme/child-theme’s functions.php file or use the Code Snippet plugin to run the code.
