 * Hello,
 * I’ve entered in my Custom Fields that these are required.
    Now, if I bypass the
   HTML validation of the browser and disable JS, then the form will be submitted.
   The server-side validation of the inputs is missing.

 * Hi!
 * This shouldn’t be happening. Could you try disabling all other plugins except
   AF and ACF and see if that makes a difference?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello Fabian,
 * Unfortunately that makes no difference.
    Do I still need a validation plugin,
   such as this: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/validated-field-for-acf/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/validated-field-for-acf/)?

 * Sorry about the late reply, been very busy.
 * You shouldn’t need any other plugins or code for validation to work. If both 
   the Javascript and HTML validation is circumvented the server will still perform
   validation and stop the form submission. It should look something like this:

 * Is there any chance I could get access to the site to take a closer look? Thanks!
