Hi Shaun,

Yes, the provided code is still effective in blocking website URLs from the paragraph field.

 ![Error message@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gravityforms1/original/3X/f/5/f5dd2d4c1b1797d0ee81d9752aad8b6793d1750b.jpeg)

```php
add_filter( 'gform_field_validation_1_74', 'validate_input_1_74', 10, 4 );

function validate_input_1_74( $result, $value, $form, $field ) {
	$nourl_pattern = '(http|https)';
	if ( preg_match( $nourl_pattern, $value ) ) {
		$result['is_valid'] = false;
		$result['message'] = 'Message can not contain website addresses.';
	}
	
	return $result;
}

```

Have you had a chance to test it?
