Date field forcing REQUIRED

This will be fixed in next version.

Wow, excellent! I just ran into this on a client site, which also happens to be running the Canvas theme (5.2.4) and WooFramework 5.5.5.

3.1.8.5

(18 Jul 2013) – added new settings: “Submit button input attributes” and “Form action attributes”. These can be used for Google Analytics tracking code.
added captcha font randomization.
fixed date does not have to be required.
fixed date error message translation.

Nice fix!

Thank you so much, Mike!! It works like a charm now.
