I remove required fields from these fields *, and form works. * Can you advise? * thanks, * J Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [Jules Colle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jules-colle/) * (@jules-colle) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-fields-required-fields/#post-12336388) * Mandatory hidden fields should not trigger validation errors. So something else is probably wrong. Can you share a link to your page and your form code and conditions? * Thread Starter [callender](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimcallender/) * (@jimcallender) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-fields-required-fields/#post-12337746) * thanks for the reply Jules – could it be due to an out of date php version? * it’s working on our dev site, but not clients live server. * here is the form code – truncated – * ``` [text* first-name placeholder "First Name"] [text* last-name placeholder "Last Name "][text* company placeholder "Company"] [email* your-email placeholder "Business Email"] [text* buiness-phone placeholder "Business Phone"] [select* your-industry first_as_label "Your Industry" "Academic" "Automotive" "Advertising & Media" "Other"] [select* country first_as_label "Your Location" "United Kingdom" "United States" "Afghanistan"] [group group-us-state] [select state first_as_label "Your State" "Alabama" "Wyoming"][/group]

The drag and drop file upload field created by, Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload – Contact Form 7, plugin seems to be required when the field is required yet hidden. Is there anything I can do to resolve this? * Plugin Author [Jules Colle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jules-colle/) * (@jules-colle) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-fields-required-fields/#post-12390724) * [@rolturn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rolturn/) Not sure what you are asking.. Does it work if you disable the drag&drop plugin? Also: please create another topic for this. I’m pretty sure the cause of your problem is unrelated to the cause of the OP’s problem. - This reply was modified 6 years, 3 months ago by [Jules Colle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jules-colle/). * Thread Starter [callender](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimcallender/) * (@jimcallender) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-fields-required-fields/#post-12390775) * [@jules-colle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jules-colle/) – how can i get wp-admin login to you securely so that you can investigate config? thank you.
