 * Hello,
    When ever I click the boxes to make a field “Required” then click save,
   the boxes do not remain checked. So, I can’t make any fields “Required.” Please
   advise. Thanks,

 * Hi LSH8,
 * Just open the plugin file named as pie-register.php
 * find the following line :
 * $update[“profile_req”] = $this->disable_magic_quotes_gpc($_POST[‘piereg_profile_req’]);
 * now replace it with following line:
    $update[“profile_req”] = $_POST[‘piereg_profile_req’];
 * It will work 🙂
    If you required any help ping me on skype : support.sotruesolutions
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
    I went into the plugins, hit update and edited the file as you described.
   When I clicked save it told me that a fatal error had occurred and it deactivated
   the plugin. After I changed it back, it saved successfully and reactivated the
   plugin. Please advise. Also, the version is 1.31. Thanks, Leslie
