Email address validation on registration form needs to allow + symbol

[warrensherliker]

The email registration form validation needs to allow users to have a + in their email address. For instance gmail allows:

myname+thislist@gmail.com

This causes an invalid email address error in the registration form. To correct line 59 in the jquery.validationEngine-en.js file needs amending on line 59 from:

“regex”: /^([A-Za-z0-9_-.’])+@([A-Za-z0-9_-.])+.([A-Za-z]{2,6})$/,

to

“regex”: /^([A-Za-z0-9_-.’+])+@([A-Za-z0-9_-.])+.([A-Za-z]{2,6})$/,

Hope that helps someone…

In latest version of WP eStore (v6.9.4) this patch should be applied to:

emember_js_form_validation_rules.php on line 25:

“regex”: /^([A-Za-z0-9_-.’])+@([A-Za-z0-9_-.])+.([A-Za-z]{2,6})$/,

should be changed to:

“regex”: /^([A-Za-z0-9_-.’+])+@([A-Za-z0-9_-.])+.([A-Za-z]{2,6})$/,
