 * I’m trying to add an OPTIONAL date field, but the form is requiring it.
 * I’m using Woothemes Canvas 5.2.3 on Framework 5.5.5.
 * Any suggestions appreciated.
 * Thank you!

 * Wow, excellent! I just ran into this on a client site, which also happens to 
   be running the Canvas theme (5.2.4) and WooFramework 5.5.5.
