Require an email for anonymous questions

    Hello,

    I’d like visitors to be able to ask questions anonymously (without having an account on my website). However, I’d also like to make entering their email a requirement before they can submit a question.

    Is there a way to make the “Your Email” field a requirement? And possibly a way to make the “Category” and “Tag” fields requirements too. Currently these can all be left blank, and the question will still post.

    I looked through the settings, and I don’t see this option, unless I missed something.

    Thanks for making this killer plugin!

    Hi you can open file wp-content/plugins/dwqa-question-answer/inc/Handle.php and add following code from line 293:

    if ( !$category ) {
    dwqa_add_notice( __( ‘You must choose category.’, ‘dwqa’ ), ‘error’ );
    return false;
    }

    if ( !is_user_logged_in() && empty( $_POST[‘_dwqa_anonymous_email’] ) && !is_email( $_POST[‘_dwqa_anonymous_email’] ) ) {
    dwqa_add_notice( __( ‘You must enter a valid email.’ ), ‘error’ );
    return false;
    }

    Regards,
