Not working for some users

Hello again! I never realized you replied to my message until now. oops. Yes we created a user named Anonymous to prevent this and somehow users are still bypassing the plugin and can using the name Anonymous.

I figured it out. We didn’t require users to enter a name, so if the field was left blank it would pass Impostercide check and then still display Anonymous when comment posted. Problem was we didn’t want to require email address as per the Diacussiom settings where it is both Name & Email. So I required comment_author in a preprocess function and then it works well if they try to use Anonymous.

Currently have the discussion settings to allow users to comment without a name and email. And, then adding this function to force name

function require_comment_name($fields) {
 
if ($fields['comment_author'] == '')
wp_die('Error: please enter a valid name.');
 
return $fields;
}
add_filter('preprocess_comment', 'require_comment_name');

Yes the above code works to require only name. We have name placeholder set to Anonymous. If Anonymous, Impostercize triggers and works because we have an existing Anonymous user. If name is left blank it produces the error: please enter a valid name.

Prior to that without that function, the user could leave the name field blank but the comment would appear as Anonymous, somehow bypassing Impostercize. My guess is that when the user name was left blank, the default behavior is for WP to assign the commenter_name Anonymous, but perhaps it wasn’t happening until after Impostercize checks passed because it was blank.

//We want to force entering a user name on the comment form, but can’t use the regular Discussion Settings because it then also requires email address. So that setting is left off and this function make just Comment Author required. Need this so Impostercize will work. Uses preprocess_comment’ filter to make Name field required

function require_comment_name($fields) {
 
if ($fields['comment_author'] == '')
wp_die('Error: please enter a valid name.');
 
return $fields;
}
add_filter('preprocess_comment', 'require_comment_name');

//new functions to add placeholders for comment form fields

function my_update_comment_fields( $fields ) {

	$commenter = wp_get_current_commenter();
	$req       = get_option( 'require_name_email' );
	$label     = $req ? '*' : ' ' . __( '(optional)', 'text-domain' );
	$aria_req  = $req ? "aria-required='true'" : '';

	$fields['author'] =
