FYI – I found a workaround that works OK for me.
If anyone else is experiencing this: the field to update this can be found in Advanced > Display Settings. Click the “Advanced” dropdown and scroll down to the field that says “Field marked with an * are required.” That field was blank for me, so the default was using the HTML to make the asterisk red. I simply typed in “Field marked with an * are required.” in that field, and that’s how it displays now. It’s a black asterisk instead of a red asterisk now, but that’s OK to me.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us. I hope that you are doing well.
Our engineering team is aware of the issue and is currently working on a patch for this to be released soon. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I will provide an update when the developers push the release for this.
i have the issue too and a some important forms should go online tomorrow. please also let me know when the fix is out! Thank you
Same issue on several forms. Hoping for an update soon.
The workaround above does work, you have to find ‘Ninja Forms’ on the left side toolbar in wordpress. and go into every single form on your website to find these settings.
Wanted to mention that this is happening with any html within the labels for Radio Lists as well. Any ETA on the next update?
Version 3.8.2 resolved the issue for me. Thanks for the timely response.
Version 3.8.2 resolved the issue for us as well. Wanted to also echo the timely response.
Updated to v3.8.2 this morning, seems to be working fine. Thank you!
I have the same problem and it is not solved in version 3.8.2.
Probably because I translated the text myself in Dutch like this:
Velden met een <span class="ninja-forms-req-symbol">*</span> aub invullen.<br/><br/>
And when I clear the field and try to enter the same text, I get this error message:
< This character is forbidden. Title and labels must not contain / " < > ` characters.
I have a lot of sites with this code and hope this will be solved.
Not solved in 3.8.2 for me.
Not solved in 3.8.2 for some of our clients either.
Instead of editing all forms, you can also use the translation filter to specify a message without html – see also https://ninjaforms.com/docs/edit-translate-fields-marked-required/
add_filter( 'ninja_forms_i18n_front_end', 'my_custom_ninja_forms_i18n_front_end' );
function my_custom_ninja_forms_i18n_front_end( $strings ) {
$strings['fieldsMarkedRequired'] = 'Fields marked with an * are required';
return $strings;
}
if it helps, we;re using the following
Ninja Forms Version 3.8.3
Ninja Forms – Conditional Logic Version 3.1
Ninja Forms – File Uploads Version 3.3.16
Ninja Forms – Layout & Styles Version 3.0.29
