Adding ‘is_checked’ Validate Method to Checkbox field

Hello – I’m adding a custom checkbox field to the Ask Question page and have a requirement that the user is required to check the field before posting the question. I’m not finding a pre-built method to check for this validation and after taking a closer look believe that a new validate method (validate_is_checked) should be added to the “\plugins\anspress-question-answer\lib\class-validate.php” file. Rahul, could you please confirm if this is correct. I can add the method and submit on GitHub for your review and commit on hearing from you. Thanks to Rahul for the great work on creating this very useful plugin!

In the class-validate.php file, you can define a new method called validate_is_checked.

public function validate_is_checked($value) {
return !empty($value); // Ensure the checkbox is checked
}

Ensure that this method is called during the validation process when a user submits a question. You may need to hook it into the appropriate action or filter.
