Required Checkbox Validation for Elementor

Required Checkbox Validation for Elementor is the missing piece in Elementor Pro’s Form widget: the ability to make a checkbox field required.

Out of the box, Elementor Pro lets you mark text fields, email fields, and dropdowns as required — but there is no built-in required option for checkbox fields. This plugin fixes that gap with a single, clean toggle.

Enable the toggle on any checkbox field inside the Elementor Pro form editor, and the form will refuse to submit until at least one option is checked. Validation runs on both the client side (instant feedback before the AJAX request) and the server side (no bypass possible).

The problem this plugin solves Imagine you have a consent form, a subscription preference form, or a survey with a checkbox group. You need users to select at least one option before the form can be submitted. With vanilla Elementor Pro, that is not possible — the checkbox field simply has no “required” setting. Every workaround (custom JavaScript, third-party form plugins, complex Elementor add-ons) introduces bloat, maintenance overhead, or layout conflicts.

This plugin solves the problem with zero configuration and zero bloat:

Install → Activate → Open your form → Toggle on.

Features

✅ Required toggle in the editor — a native-looking on/off switcher appears inside the form field settings, visible only for checkbox-type fields.

✅ Client-side validation — shows an inline error message instantly when a user tries to submit without selecting anything, before any network request is made.

✅ Server-side validation — a server-side guard ensures the requirement is enforced even if JavaScript is disabled or bypassed.
