I have a registration form here at http://www.thestarlightproject.com/events/golf-event-2016/ and it keeps displaying the error “First Name is a required value” when you attempt to register. I’ve tried updating my theme, updating all other plugins and making sure WordPress is up-to-date.
Could you take a look and let me know what would be causing this error?
As you can see from the screenshot, it’s using version 1.6.4. The version of jQuery that’s bundled with WordPress is v1.12.4.
The way to fix this is remove the code in the theme that’s loading in the old version of jQuery and preventing the WordPress bundled version to be loaded. Once that’s removed, WordPress will automatically load in its bundled version of jQuery.
The theme is using multiple libraries that may not be ready for v3 and any JS errors can cause problems with the validation on the registration form as it is JavaScript based.
I would recommend removing the custom version of jQuery and just enqueue the default version that is shipped with WordPress and use that as Josh mentioned above.
You’ll need to use the version of jQuery that’s bundled with WordPress, and update any of the theme’s scripts if they’re not compatible with the bundled version of jQuery.
