    Hello!

    Im looking to validate business emails by filtering common email ids such as @yahoo.com @gmail.com etc.. Im looking to do this with JS as shown in the image.

    ![Alt Text](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/1fayjmpokliech9z9zxc.jpg)

    Been breaking my head over this for over 2 months because there are no plugins that support this functionality(tried dynamicoo, contact 7 etc)

    I have tried with contact 7, but it still doesnt filter outlook and yahoo. Here is the code i have used inside Contact7:
    function blocked_email_domain($email) {
    $blocked = array(‘@gmail.com’, ‘@hotmail.com’, ‘@yahoo.com’, ‘@yahoo.in’,’@msn.com’, ‘@live.com’, ‘@outlook.com’, ‘@microsoft.com’, ‘@zoho.com’, ‘@rediff.com’);
    $email = strstr($email, ‘@’);
    if(in_array($email, $blocked))
    return false;
    else
    return true;
    }

    function custom_email_validation_filter($result, $tag) {
    $type = $tag[‘type’];
    $name = $tag[‘name’];
    if($name == ‘your-email’) { // Only apply to fields with the form field name of ‘your-email’
    $the_value = $_POST[$name];
    if(!blocked_email_domain($the_value)){
    $result[‘valid’] = false;
    $result->invalidate( $tag, ‘You need to provide an email address that isn’t hosted by a free provider.
    Please contact us directly if this isn’t possible.’);

    };
    };
    return $result;
    }
    add_filter(‘wpcf7_validate_email’,’custom_email_validation_filter’, 10, 2); // Email field
    add_filter(‘wpcf7_validate_email*’, ‘custom_email_validation_filter’, 10, 2); // Required Email field

    Now as a last solution im trying to insert JQuery into elementor! Need help with a new code!

    TIA

    Hi there!

    I’m afraid we won’t be able to help you here.

    Your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with Siteground.

    Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites hosted elsewhere; we can only assist with sites hosted on our servers. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here:
    https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/.

    I’d suggest posting to the community forums at: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/., folks there may have more experience with custom code which is not permitted on WordPress.com.
