Required questions not required for users

Hello,

Questions that I have indicated as required and display an astertisk on the registration form are not required. I’m getting a lot of registrants with tons of missing information. Here is an example of our registration form: http://breakwaterschoolregistration.org/?page_id=18&ee=31

Could it have to do with coding in my theme? I use the “ArtWorks” Theme.

Also, I should let you know that I’ve changed all of the questions to not required and then back to required already and that did not work.

Hi there,

I can confirm it’s the theme that’s breaking this. The trouble stems from the theme’s scripts.js file not being written to be compatible with the jQuery noConflict mode. WordPress loads up jQuery noConflict mode by default and all of Event Espresso’s scripts are written to be compatible with noConflict mode. Here’s a screenshot of the error in the web inspector.

Looking this file over, One way to fix this is change the opening of the first function in the file so it looks like this:

(function neue_slider($) {

Then on line 413 change it to:

})(jQuery);

Then on lines 424 *and* 451 change them both to:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

If the above changes do not fix the issue then there may be other scripts that need to be adjusted. This is a good reference that has several options on how to make the theme compatible with jQuery No-Conflict Mode:
