@jules-colle disregard question. Tried it on another site and the hidden required fields works fine. I believe it has something to do with a javascript file in my site files as that same file is also restricting the general “error” messages that appear when a field is not filled in. Delete thread if you can

@jules-colle

Wondering if you had a chance to check out my code above.

It’s an issue of making fields required. If you see on the form , the user selects “INQUIRY TYPE” which correctly brings down whatever group is in that Inquiry Type. For example, selecting “Filming” will bring the form fields for:
-desired date
-times
-budget
-message

If i make any of these form fields required though, it WONT send the form because if a user goes to the site and selects a different inquiry type (let’s say GENERAL INQUIRY with its own set of required fields), the form wants = the user to fill out the required fields for “Filming” still since those are required (which they wouldn’t fill out since that’s not their inquiry type).

I tried to find documentation, threads about this but surprisingly cannot. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@jules-colle Thanks Jules

It seems to be an issue with the fields being required as the Inquiry Type determines what loads (select General, it loads a different set of fields than it does if you select Private Event for example). So, i think because there are required fields in certain groups that the user DOES NOT select, it’s not letting the user submit it.

Thanks again !

Looks like it has to do with the required fields b/c when i remove it, it works. Anyone know how i can make it so the following are required:

First Name
Last Name
Email Address

And, how can i send a conditional form if one group has required fields but the user selects another group. I believe it prompts the user and says you have required fields even though they selected a different Inquiry type

as a follow up. I tried it on a different wordpress site I have and it workse fine. But, i have a different contact form on the website (without conditional) and that works fine)

Could it be plugins, a verson of jQuery?
