Email form validation is very wrong and outdated! | ww.wp.xz.cn

Hi,

it seems that form invalidates some legit domains like .email so there is no way to enter email addresses containing these cool “new” domains.

This is a major issue, since everybody uses “user must fill email” option these days.

Please, please fix this urgently!

Thanks!

Temp fix:

In validator.min.js I modified javascript

email_filter = /^.+@.+\..{2,4}$/

to:

email_filter = /^.+@.+\..{2,6}$/

to allow domain extension to 6 chars.

Hi Viktor P.
Thank you for letting us know. We’ve already changed this value from {2,3} to {2,4}. We’ll change it to {2,6} in next version.

Hi,

now I’m thinking that it should allow much more characters for domain extensions because there are new domains like .photography and those that are even longer. So maybe 2,15 or even 2,20 would be better (just to be safe)

Here’s the list of the new tld domains:

Ok, thank you,
We’ll check all TLDs and find the correct number.
