Hello..
I am using WP Ver :5.2.3 & GD Ver :2.0.0.66

Its a listing website using Supreme Directory theme. The plugins that i am using are Geo Directory, Ninja Forms, Code Snippets & Ultimate Member.

While in CPT, I added a custom field Profile(textarea) & now i want to limit the word that a user can enter/write to maximum 240 words. I didn’t find a validation pattern though, inside the textarea custom field.

Can this be achieved? Please do let me know.
Thanks / Manish

Hi mb299,

Thanks for your post. You can refer to this section of the documentation that explains more about this https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/places/custom/#validation

Validation applies to text fields.

The main description field can have a character limit applied with the Pricing Manager addon

Yes Alex, i checked that for the text field. I even tried it to use for description & put the code too .{0}|.{0,40} but it didnt work. Do you think it would work in my case if i replace 40 with 240? Please let me know.

The only option i have is to play mind games with the users 😉 – Label description will now have – ” Enter max 240 words” 😉

Thanks Alex.

…Validation for text and phone fields.

From https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/places/custom/#validation

You will need the Pricing Manager addon to add a character limit to eh post_conten description field.

Sure Alex,

I would study on Pricing Manager & find out what all it can do for me & then consider a purchase.

Thank you so much.
