    Is there a way to require more than two letters in the custom text field? For about a year I have been getting hit with fake users joining and they only put 2 characters in the required field “Vegan Story”. It must be automated. It makes me wonder if my site is infected…

    Attached is a screen shot of these users that have joined recently. I’m about to go through the process of removing them. Please let me know if there’s a way to require more than just two characters or if you have any other suggestions…

    I will ask the developers. Textareas don’t normally have validation, but they will let us know if there is a workaround.

    Hi,

    The minimum character limit is not possible in textarea but the maximum character limit is possible. You can try using JS to count the characters input in the text area and show/hide the submit button accordingly or just show error on textarea blur event. This is a part of customization so I have given you a hint. This can be also managed from the code using a filter but that will require help from a developer.

    Regards,
    Patrik
