 * Hi, a form that previously worked has started having ‘required field’ validation
   errors. I have checked and rechecked the form itself, and there are no *’s in
   the fields that it’s saying need to be filled – it’s even doing it on filled 
   fields.
 * Here is the link:

 * Any ideas?

 * Do you realize you have multiple fields with the same name? Such as “author-name”.

 * Thanks so much – not sure how it happened (we had successful submissions up to
   June, I think maybe someone went in and muddled with it!) – I’ve made a donation
   🙂
