How do we make the field required???
thanks in advance

Hi @rakesh1974,

The ‘required’ attribute of Register Helper Add On only works for the checkout page and not for the user profile edit page of WordPress.

I looked through the WordPress user-edit.php file (used for profile updates) and it doesn’t have a hook to use to validate field input inside the edit profile page. You may need to write some custom code to achieve these checks and show a warning/error message if a user has ‘skipped’ any of these fields.

A workaround would be to use a front-end profile editor plugin like Theme My Login or something similar that may have hooks available to ensure that you can run validation on updating profile information.

I hope this helps get you started, I’m really sorry for the inconvenience caused by this.
