    Hello,

    I’ve noticed an issue with the last name form input field. Users with compound names (e.g., O’Ralley) encounter errors because the field currently validates for single-word last names only.

    Is there a hook or another method available to modify this validation?

    Hello,

    ARMember follows the WordPress standards and accordingly allows the compound last names at the registration as well without any issue. Moreover the team has confirmed by further verifying it at our local environment and there is no such issue found.

    Kindly confirm that you are using the standard last name field with the meta_key “last_name” if you are using any custom field in order to collect the last name then make sure that you have not added any validations to this field.

    Also, if you are not using the latest version of the ARMember Lite then I’d recommend you to update the plugin to the latest version(v4.0.58)and then run a fresh new test and check.

    Thanks

    I am using the latest version of ARMember, but I still have the issue.

    To be more specific, the issue is related to sign up form. I need to have two distinct fields for first and last name. I think the issue might come from here.

    As I am unable to regenerate the same issue at our local environments it would be great if you could provide more details on the which error message you are receiving along with the screenshot attached. So that we can have a closer look at the same and then assist you further.

    Thanks

    Here is an example of the error message I have on my front-end when I fill the last name field with a compound name.

    Hello,

    I have checked the provided screenshot and please note that, this type of validation may happen when you adding the text into the username field so, please double check the filed you are adding is the last name or not and after that you can come to know the issue. As there is no such issue happen for the Last Name at our local server.

    Thank you
