Registration form – submit error

Hi I have no idea why this isn’t working. I had no issues with the registration form when I used it on my other site. Something must be different.

When I complete the registration form

An error has occurred:
First Name is a required field.

I HAVE been completing the First name field (which I renamed Attendee First Name). I’m not sure why it’s not accepting it.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi there,

Your site is throwing this error:

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: a[href^=#]

which is causing the problem with the EE validation script and throwing the first name error.

Its being thrown fro within your themes custom.js file – http://take.ms/0V9ry

However there may be more than that when you fix the above, take a look here for additional information:

Ok, thanks. I don’t really understand your response but I kind of understand the post you’ve linked to. I’ve never updated my theme so I guess it might have the old code. I’ll see what I can do to get it updated.

I thought I got rid of those automatic WordPress updates. Must do that.

I would advise against disabling updates, be that on WordPress or plugins/themes.

The updates are released as new bugs/issues are released, if you don’t update and a security issue is found within WP or a plugin you leave your site wide open.

Ok, for the record, updating to the latest version of my theme has helped fixed this problem.

(Took me a while to remember where I got the theme originally, get my login back, get a new version download…lol).

Thanks!

Hello,

The theme author likely released an updated version that is compatible with the current version of WordPress.

Were there any other questions that we could help you with?
