Hi,

there's an option for that in the configuration in the admin backend.

Hi,

i have the same problem.
i upgraded from 2.0.5 to 2.7.8 and i can't switch off the "Email Requirement".
No difference if i check or uncheck the box for this setting:

"Mail address as mandatory field (default: deactivated)"


Any ideas?

regards,
Daniel

Hi Thorsten,

I'm having the same problem. I've unchecked Mandatory email address and saved. But when I try to enter my questions in Add FAQ or Add Questions, the system requires email address. Any idea what we are missing here?

Thanks!

Hi,

did you tried an update to 2.7.9? I think I fixed it in this version!

Hi Thorsten,

Yes, I've downloaded version 2.7.9. I tried it again. If I leave the name and the email address blank, the error message would say "Required fields are your name, your email address, your question and, when requested, the Captcha code." But when I enter a name, even if I leave the email address blank, it saves the question. Is this how it is supposed to work? So, name is always mandatory?

Thanks again.
