Thank you

Hi,

Here is your custom code for the purpose –

function wcfm_wcpvendors_custom_settings_fields_billing( $billing_fields ) {
	if( isset( $billing_fields['paypal'] ) ) {
		$billing_fields['paypal']['custom_attributes'] = array( 'required' => 1 ); 
	}
	return $billing_fields;
}
add_filter( 'wcfm_wcpvendors_settings_fields_billing', 'wcfm_wcpvendors_custom_settings_fields_billing', 50 );

Just add this code in your site child theme’s functions.php

Please know me is this works for you or not!

Thank You

Hi,

yes thank you very much, it is now required. Ultimately I would love to have it required on the vendor registration form but I don’t think I’m at right place to ask.

Otherwise, your solution is good. Thanks !!

Hi,

This code is for Vendor’s Settings page Billing -> PayPal Email, and not for Registration form.

Hope you are using WC Product Vendors default registration page?
Let me try to find a solution for you.

You have register and logged in to send attachment here. Or you may also directly send them in mail – wclovers.contact@gmail.com

Thank You

I do use WC Product Vendors and my request was for the Paypal field to be required on the WCFM screen, not registration. My other request was for a custom attribute to be made required. Screenshots attached for the custom attribute.

Hi,

I have already give you code for restrict PayPal field as required –

function wcfm_wcpvendors_custom_settings_fields_billing( $billing_fields ) {
	if( isset( $billing_fields['paypal'] ) ) {
		$billing_fields['paypal']['custom_attributes'] = array( 'required' => 1 ); 
	}
	return $billing_fields;
}
add_filter( 'wcfm_wcpvendors_settings_fields_billing', 'wcfm_wcpvendors_custom_settings_fields_billing', 50 );

It’s difficult set custom attribute as required as we have no clue how many custom attributes are there and which should be required!

Can you please know us purpose of this “Years of experience”, actually I am just trying to understand if this possible to achieve some other way!?

Thank You

Unfortunately, the code does not work as I stated before. I do have another field set as required, will that make a difference? Here is the custom code I already have:

function wcfm_custom_product_manage_fields_advanced( $wcmp_advanced_fields ) {
if( isset( $wcmp_advanced_fields[‘enable_reviews’] ) ) {
$wcmp_advanced_fields[‘enable_reviews’][‘custom_attributes’] = array( ‘required’ => 1 );
}
return $wcmp_advanced_fields;
}
add_filter( ‘wcfm_product_manage_fields_advanced’, ‘wcfm_custom_product_manage_fields_advanced’, 50, 2 );

Also, I only have one custom attribute and that will be the only one required. It is to tell customers how many years of experience the service provider has with the product they are selling.

Hi,

That’s really strange, why this code is not working for you.

Just to mention, there is no connection between two codes.

I just want to confirm one thing, you are using this plugin, right? https://woocommerce.com/products/product-vendors/

Thank You

Yes, correct. I added this new code below the other code in Listify Child: Theme Functions (functions.php). I received an error that says “Unable to communicate back with site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change was reverted. You will need to upload your PHP file change by some other means, such as by using SFTP.”

Hi,

There is no issue in this code, you may add this to your site. WP normally restrict PHP code update from WP editor.

For demo I have just added this in our Product vendor demo site, kindly take a look. – http://wcpvendors.wcfmdemos.com/wcfm/

function wcfm_wcpvendors_custom_settings_fields_billing( $billing_fields ) {
if( isset( $billing_fields[‘paypal’] ) ) {
$billing_fields[‘paypal’][‘custom_attributes’] = array( ‘required’ => 1 );
}
return $billing_fields;
}
add_filter( ‘wcfm_wcpvendors_settings_fields_billing’, ‘wcfm_wcpvendors_custom_settings_fields_billing’, 50 );

Our team is looking for solution for “custom attributes”.

Thank You
