Maurits van Rees 6952923b1e Reset the required setting of the author_email widget each time. Otherwise, the email field might get set to required when an anonymous user visits, and then remain required when an authenticated user visits, making it impossible for an authenticated user to fill in the form without validation error. Or when in the control panel the field is set as not required anymore, that change would have no effect until the instance was restarted.		2016-06-10 01:57:04 +02:00

Aspeli (mentor).
