 <div class="step-title"><span class="step-order">2</span><span class="step-name">Step 2</span></div>
 <div class="step-title"><span class="step-order">3</span><span class="step-name">Step 3</span></div>
 </div>
 <div class="col-lg-10">

 var stepsValidate = {};

 $('#advance-steps').psteps({
 traverse_titles: 'always',
 validate_use_error_msg: false,
 validate_next_step: false,
 ignore_errors_on_next: true,
 shrink_step_names: false,
 step_order: false,
 validation_rule: function() {
 curStep = $(this);
 errorCount = 0;

 if( curStep.hasClass('step-active') ){
 curStep.find("input[class*='validate']").each(function(index){
 if( $(this).validationEngine('validate') ) errorCount++;
 });

 stepsValidate[curStep.attr('id')] = errorCount;
 }

 if( stepsValidate[curStep.attr('id')] === 0 ) return true
 else return 'warning';
 }
 }).find('input').change(function() {
 $(this).trigger('validate.psteps');
