Hi There,

I enabled Regex in name field because there are people who are registering using their email as their last name but it's not working. What is the proper regex if I want to only allow text in the Name field?

Thanks,

Jackson
Hey Jackson,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. The correct regex syntax to only allow alphabets is [b}[A-Za-z][/b]

Hi Mark,

Hmm... the regex in my Name field is exactly the same as you suggested but it seems to be not working. When you get a chance can you please take a look at it.

Thanks,

Jackson

Any update on this? I disabled the regex, when I enabled it for 3 days nobody is creating an account since regex is not letting users pass First and Last Name. Regardless of what users entered in First and Last name field, it validates it as wrong entry.

Thanks,

Jackson

Hey there,

I applied this regex in your fullname custom field

^[a-zA-Z\s]+$

It should work fine now, can you give it a try now ?
