I thought something like this would do it:<br /> <pre><code>add_filter(&#39;gform_validation_2&#39;, &#39;admin_override&#39;, 10, 4); function admin_override($result, $value, $form, $field){ if ( current_user_can(&#39;manage_options&#39;) ) { $result[&quot;is_valid&quot;] = true; } else { $result[&quot;is_valid&quot;] = false; }; return $result; }</code></pre> <p>But it doesn't work, in fact it stops the form from loading all together... Can anyone please help me work this out? </p>
