Pattern usage in phone number validation
-
I am trying to use pattern for Phone field in the wp members plugin , just like I would use in html . I want a 3 digit number and I have used the pattern [0-9]{3} in the pattern input box. But its not working , the field is taking all values and not just a 3 digit number. Need help .

Your indicated regex pattern is valid.
In taking a look at the plugin’s fields tab, it displays a pattern input possibility for a “number” field input. It actually should not do that because “pattern” is not a valid attribute for the “number” input type (pattern is only an attribute of the text, date, search, url, tel, email, and password HTML5 input types).
Since your regex is valid, and you’re getting invalid results, without additional information I would guess that you have applied the pattern to a number field type. Replace this with a text field input and the pattern will work.
(I hadn’t noticed until you raised this issue that the number field included pattern as a possibility – that will be removed in the next release.)
One other possibility is that this is currently only supported in the plugin’s own registration form. If this is another plugin’s registration form, such as WooCommerce, then it’s not currently supported because WC doesn’t support the attribute.
