Testing the plugin, I have removed the flood filtering with the following code:
add_filter('comment_flood_filter', '__return_false');
I'm not making the name and email fields required. I intend to let users to submit comments without filling them. But the form auto-fills the name field as "anonymous" and next time I open the browser and submit a form, I have to clear the name field in order to submit the comment. I am not sure if it's the flood filtering still taking effect or something else.
The error says "Please make sure it's consistent with requested format"
actually it's “Please match the requested format”, doesn't the name field support Chinese characters? If not How do I turn off customize the validator?
Thanks.
Found the cause, I set guest name to have a restriction of at least 3 chars.
Thank you for letting us know. Glad to hear that the issue is solved.
