> Guys, thanks for your help! Here is the code that worked: // add custom validation to form add\_filter( 'gform\_field\_validation\_74\_7', 'validate\_phone\_74\_7', 10, 4 ); function validate\_phone\_74\_7( $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; }

Will that work for you?
