 * I would like to make the address fields optional so that anonymous users can 
   donate without exposing their personal information, while users seeking tax receipts
   can enter their address information so we can mail out the receipts.
 * How can I do this?

 * Just turn off the address fields in the Form Options tab of the plugin settings.

 * It sounds like meleti wants the address fields to always be there, just not be
   required. Turning them off means they would never appear (and would ermove the
   gift aid option for UK donators)

 * That is correct. I need the address fields there, but I need them to be optional.

 * Ah, that’s relatively easy with a bit of code. This video shows how to use hooks
   to change the form table:

 * This is the forms engine option description:
 * [http://zatzlabs.com/codex/seamless-donations-forms-engine/](http://zatzlabs.com/codex/seamless-donations-forms-engine/)
 * You’ll want to hammer the field ‘validation’ array and remove the ‘required’ 
   value (you probably just want to remove the whole ‘validation’ array for the 
   fields you don’t want. Do test this A LOT with PayPal though. I’m not sure how
   PayPal would react with empty address fields.
