    For some reason only registered user can leave comments on my site. If the the $user_id doesn’t match (I don’t know what’s it comparing to), its won’t allow the comment “Error: please fill the required fields (name, email).” In my Options, I’m allowing anyone to post comments with Name and Email required but I don’t see a “registered” user only option to deselect.

    Thanks

    Check on the first Options page. Right in the middle it says Users must be registered and logged in to comment

    already unselected, that’s not it. I wonder if wp-comments.php isn’t validating the Names and Email correctly or something.

    Found the problem, I think. In the comments.php, towards the end of the comments form, there is the line

    <?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>

    I commented it out and now it works. At least it did on my test site.

    Hrmm..nope that wasn’t it. Still can’t post comments, unless It’s my name or I’m logged in.

    Well, that only part of it. I notice that there is no $user_ID, it’s supposed to be $user_id. So I fixed that in the comments.php and wp-comments-post.php and it seems to work. I’ll be deleting my cache and cookies and trying again…hahaha.
