When setting the “User Email” to Optional, and then submitting the post without entering a email, it says that the email is invalid. It should allow empty emails when set to optional. WordPress 6.8.3 Plugin version 2.1.0 So looked at the function validate_user_email , and it does not account for user_email_setting === disable && user_email === ” or user_email_setting === optional Because of that it proceeds to check the email, and return “User email is invalid” Thank you for your feedback! Version 2.2.0 has just been released and includes this fix. Please update at your earliest convenience
