That code will go in your theme's functions.php file. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/some-required-fields-wont-display-validation-message#post-45707 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:14:48 +0000 etinteractive 45707@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So it is the placeholder text for the 2 text inputs, but it doesnt cause the issue with phone or email. I'm assuming b/c the placeholder text doesnt meet hte validation requirments for email "using @" and phone "using 111-222-3333"</p> <p>How could I put logic on those 2 fields so that they don't validate on submit without changing them from?</p> <p>Thanks for the help!</p> <p>Tony </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/some-required-fields-wont-display-validation-message#post-45663 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:20:56 +0000 Chris Hajer 45663@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is it possible the placeholder text is fouling this up? Can you remove the placeholder text and see if it works?</p> <p>Also, does it submit properly from the form preview? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/some-required-fields-wont-display-validation-message#post-45593 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:59:35 +0000 etinteractive 45593@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Running WP 3.3.1 and GForms 1.6.2</p> <p>I have a simple 4 field form, all 4 are required.
