Similar questions have been asked before and I tried all the solutions but for some reason they won't work for me.
I have a mini Woocommerce registration field included in the footer of my site so that people can register easily. The phone field is required but I want to set a minimum length to it to reduce the number of people entering fake numbers.
I have the following codes added to my functions.php, (I'm including all the notifications to the form so that you can understand better) the placeholder and everything works but I can't get the minimum length (set using "pattern" custom attribute) to work.
If anyone can help me fix it, it'd be very much appreciated.
This form is included in the footer of my web site: wondercatspopup.com
The code I've added is:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );
function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields )
{
$fields['billing']['billing_phone']['custom_attributes'] = array( "pattern" => ".{10,10}" );
return $fields;
}
And this is the rest of the functions.php:
/**
* To add WooCommerce registration form custom fields.
*/
function text_domain_woo_reg_form_fields() {
?>
<div class="formumuz" style="display:flex;"> <p class="form-row form-row-first">

In your code the hook for your validating function
text_domain_woo_validate_reg_form_fields()
is just missing. There is also some small errors (corrected)…The best place to check the submitted data is your validation function and you should also need to add another one for checkout too (instead of using a custom pattern for checkout phone field, that is used to format data).
So all your related code should be:
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin file.
Tested and works
Each time the phone number minimal length will be checked and display this alert (if needed):
