 * Hi,
    My customer reported an error in the guestbook application today. After 
   submitting the form you gt redirected to wp-comments-post.php showing an errormessage:
   ERROR fill out the required fields (name, email).
 * In the settings I have checked the box to hide the email address field.
    The 
   form just requires the name.
 * eigenwebsitemakenin1dag.nl/guestbook-test/
    It’s in Dutch. Reactie = Comment 
   Naam = Name
 * I tested the application on a site which used WordPress 4.3 (not yet updated 
   to WordPress 4.4) and it worked fine. So I guess that’s the problem.
 * I hope you can sort it soon.
 * Best Regards, Grietje Goedkoop

 * Mibuthu, are you planning to fix the whole problem soon? Perhaps you’re working
   on it and I don’t mean to be rude but my customer is getting impatient and wants
   me to look for an alternative solution.
 * Like I mentioned in my previous post, the error message is gone but none of the
   messages are displaying so the fix you described above is not working.

 * Mibuthu, I must confess that the showing comments problem was my own mistake…
   Forgot a setting.
 * All is fine now. Thanks for sending the fix that worked just fine.
 * Best, Grietje
