    I’m not familiar with the other plugin you mentioned, but this is certainly the one I would use ??

    There’s a difference between making a field required and validating its contents, so it ultimately depends on your requirements.

    Good luck!

    Hi doublesharp, so if I want to make the validation for the post title or content or category to have them mandatory I can do it with ACF validated field?

    thanks

    Oops, I misread your message. The Validated Field plugin only works with ACF fields, which in turn are meta fields. The title, content, etc are not meta fields and are stored on the post itself and this don’t go through ACF, so this plugin won’t provide validation.

    That said… I do this on some of my sites by hiding the non-meta fields (like title), use a “title” meta field through ACF, then use a hook on the action indicating the meta field has been updated to change the “real” value on the post. Works well for me so far, and I hope to add this functionality at some point in the future.

    If there are specific things you are looking for please let me know so I can prioritize them. I’m also considering adding some as “premium” features, still tbd.

    Thanks again!

    nice workaround I’ll try it.
    My dream will be to have a full customised add new post page as UX needs to be very easy for our website

    thanks for the help and yes a premium version of it would be nice
