I can still submit posts even if there isn’t anything in the textbox that is required. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-suite/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-suite/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-fields-3/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-fields-3/page/2/?output_format=md) * [logikal16](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logikal16/) * (@logikal16) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-fields-3/#post-3233611) * Validation only applies to published posts. Entries marked as “Draft” will bypass validation. Is that the issue you’re experiencing? * Thread Starter [consumedesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/consumedesign/) * (@consumedesign) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-fields-3/#post-3233618) * Thanks for the reply, I am publishing… I am also admin does that matter? There is no error message, popup, ect when I hit publish with nothing in the required field. Should it also be required when updating as well? It doesn’t happen then either. * `{"1180":{"post_title":"Entries","post_name":"entries","meta":[{"meta_key":"cfs_rules"," meta_value":"a:1:{s:10:\"post_types\";a:2:{s:8:\"operator\";a:1:{i:0;s:2:\"==\";} s:6:\"values\";a:1:{i:0;s:7:\"entries\";}}}"},{"meta_key":"cfs_extras","meta_value":" a:1:{s:11:\"hide_editor\";s:1:\"0\";}"}],"fields":{"10":{"name":"project_description"," label":"Project Description","type":"text","instructions":"","parent_id":"0"," weight":"0","options":"a:2:{s:13:\"default_value\";s:0:\"\";s:8:\"required\"; s:1:\"1\";}"}}}}` * Thread Starter [consumedesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/consumedesign/) * (@consumedesign) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-fields-3/#post-3233619) * Screenshots: [http://consumedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Screen-shot-2012-12-01-at-9.18.44-AM.png](http://consumedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Screen-shot-2012-12-01-at-9.18.44-AM.png) * [http://consumedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Screen-shot-2012-12-01-at-9.19.11-AM.png](http://consumedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Screen-shot-2012-12-01-at-9.19.11-AM.png) * Thread Starter [consumedesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/consumedesign/) * (@consumedesign) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-fields-3/#post-3233620) * Huh, odd… now it erred on update but still not on publish. “Please enter a value” is what I get when I hit update. * [logikal16](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logikal16/) * (@logikal16) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-fields-3/#post-3233635) * I’ll look into this shortly. * Thread Starter [consumedesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/consumedesign/) * (@consumedesign) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-fields-3/#post-3233636) * Thanks, also forgot to say it’s on a custom post type: * ``` add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' ); function create_post_type() { register_post_type( 'entries', array( 'label' => 'Entries', 'public' => true, 'show_in_menu' => true, 'menu_position' => 20, 'supports' => array( 'title', 'author', 'thumbnail' ), 'rewrite' => false, 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => '/entries', 'hierarchical' => false, 'capability_type' => 'post', 'with_front' => FALSE ), ) ); } ``` * [logikal16](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logikal16/) * (@logikal16) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-fields-3/#post-3233656) * Thanks for reporting this issue.
