    Hi
    When someone leaves a comment on the blog, I wanted to remove the required email address, so in the comments.php I deleleted

    <p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo esc_attr($comment_author_email); ?>" size="22" tabindex="2" />
<label for="email"><small>Mail (will not be published) <?php if ($req) echo "(required)"; ?></small></label></p>

    So now it doesnt show the email address box but if you try to leave a comment the following error message comes up:Error: please fill in the required fields (name, email).”

    Does anyone know how I fix this? Any help would be appreciated!!
    Thanks
    Sam

    Go to
    wp-admin/options-discussion.php
    and uncheck
    Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
    instead of editing core files.
