    hi, I have activated this plugin.

    I have 2 questions

    1) For Post content, i want that post content will be 600 words. if user will add 600 words content, then his post will be published otherwise validation error will appear. please guide me from where I can apply this condition that with 600 words post will be published other it will not publish.

    2) If I select post status “Pending (Default)”, then for every post. I will open each post and then i will publish? Am I right?

    one more thing can it be possible that there is option of approve/unapprove button where all posts are showing rather than opening posts one by one and publish them.

    please guide me about all above questions

    thank you

    Glad to help:

    1) It’s an interesting idea, but not a current feature of the free version of USP.

    2) Yes. Try it on a test WordPress site, to see how it works.

    3) Not sure what mean by this:

    “option of approve/unapprove button where all posts are showing rather than opening posts one by one and publish them”

    But the plugin does provide a button to filter posts on the Posts screen. Just click “USP” and only submitted posts will be displayed.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to post again with any further questions, etc.

    Validation is handled via Parsley.js:

    https://parsleyjs.org/

    Instead of hacking core files, it would be easier/better to just add a snippet of JavaScript/jQuery. Here is a tutorial that is written for pro users, but the information could be adapted to work with the free version as well. Hopefully it gives you some ideas, etc.

    It is not for the free version of USP, there is no guide. I mention that article to help give you some ideas. There are no steps for the free version.

    Hi, I have one question.
    After enabling Rich Text Editor, Validation for post content that I have selected “enable and Require” is not working.

    If i disable Rich Text Editor, then Validation for post content is working.

    I want that validation for rich text editor will also work as well.

    this is the link.

    please guide me about this thing.

    thank you

    It’s not possible with the RTE, just because of the way the RTE is displayed via iframe, it is unreachable so no way to validate, etc.

    So you are saying that user will submit informaton without adding content due to no validation in rich text editor of this plugin

    No, if the content field is submitted empty, and the field is required, it will return with an error. Try it and see.

    Thanks will look at that to see how they are doing it.

    I tested the content field on your page at writespout.com/guest-blog, and it returns the following error message when the form is submitted with an empty content field:

    “Error: Post content required”

    Normally the data is re-populated if/when there is an error. When it does not re-populate, it means that something is interfering with normal functionality (like some other plugin, caching, theme, etc.).

    The only way to find out is to do some basic troubleshooting of your plugins and theme. It is a process of elimination. I would be glad to provide a free guide if it will be useful for you.
