 * Hello
    I’ve updated the usp to the last version, but now it has something I do
   not like. It requires me to fill all the blank fields (“This value is required”).
   I do not want this. I want users to fill what they want.
 * Where can I find the previous version (v20150319)? Now I have 20150507.
    Or how
   can I choose what fileds should be mandatory?
 * Thank you

 * I solved it with version 20140930. Not fully delighted because I use an old verion,
   but what can I do?
 * Looks like v20150319 had this change, like 20150507. Older the better 😀

 * You can download old versions here:

 * So in your opinion, is it the content field that should be optional?

 * Yes, in my opinion, the content filed should be optional (content and images).
   Maybe some users just want to upload a photo without saying anything (like most
   of my visitors do on my blog), and others just write a post without a photo.
   
   This is the main and only reason I reinstalled an older version. If I couldn’t
   have found this older version, I would have searched for another plugin. That
   important is to me 🙂
 * Thank you very much for your time.

 * I will add an option to make the content field optional in the next version. 
   In the meantime you can create a custom form and/or use a snippet of jQuery to
   modify which fields are required and make other changes as needed. Thanks for
   the feedback.

 * I would do it, but I don’t know how. I am just a simple user 🙂
    I’m waiting 
   for the next version. I’ve solved the problem for the moment.
 * Thank you
