I have added an “Agree to Terms and Conditions” type of question with a checkbox to my registration form. The question is “required”, however, I am able to submit test registrations without checking the box. Everything else about the question, the group (in its own group and assigned only to that group), and including it in the event seem to be correct. It shows up in the reg form as it should and has the red asterisk like the other required questions. Leaving any of the other 3 required questions unfilled results in the proper error message – my new question does not – the registration submits without it. I also tried assigning the question to the Personal Information group, but the question’s behavior was the same. The event is not live yet and is not public. |
Hi there, If you open up Chrome Dev Tools or similar, click the Console tab and then navigate to your registration form, does it show any errors? It sounds like there may be a JS error being thrown on the page which is preventing the validation from working on the required field. |

Hi Tony, I added this selector and corrected overflow statement to the child theme – no difference in form behavior. Also deactivated all plugins (StatCounter, SendGrid, Update Control,and site-specific EE plugin) – form behavior unaffected. |
Can you link me to the event so I can take a look at this please? |

Is there a way to send the link privately? Site isn’t public yet… |
Sure,you can send the link to support[at]eventespresso.com If we need login details to view the site you can use this form: |

I’ve confirmed the same issue on one of my test sites and have created a ticket for our developers to investigate. For the time being if you switch the question to a radio button the validation will work, however note you will not be able to switch that question back to a checkbox if any registrations are made using that question. You would need to create another question and add that in place of the checkbox. |

OK, understood. Thank you! |
Hi Ross, Just a quick update one this. The developers have found the cause and have added a fix to a branch of EE which will be reviewed and tested before being included within the release version of EE. |
|
This is fixed in Event Espresso 4.9.3.p. |
|
|
and it works! |
Thank you for letting us know 🙂 I’ll mark this thread resolved. |
