I have set permissions so that guests can create a new topic, however the required fields for name and email are not set as required. The only field actually required is topic. This is clearly a big problem and as I understand shouldn't be possible in any circumstances. What can I do to make sure Guest email and name are required before submission? I have attached an image of the test site page.

@markt ,

Please use the hook-code below: 

add_filter( 'wpforo_post_after_init_fields', function( $fields ){
    $fields['name']['isRequired'] = $fields['email']['isRequired'] = 1;
    return $fields;
} );

Insert it into your active theme's functions.php file.

Hi Sofy, Thanks ever so much. That works perfectly. And so simple. I spent hours with Chat GPT and Gemini trying to sort this out to no avail! We can close this
