   Is it possible to remove the email validation on the form when the person enters their email as "junk"

   Is there a way to stop the following validation error messages...

   Hi,

   I'm curious why you want to do that :) , however you can remove email validation. To do so you should edit "post-function.php", search around line 289 you will find these code :

   $rules[$element_name]['email'] = true;

   replace with this

   if ($form_id != '2') {
   $rules[$element_name]['email'] = true;
   }

   in that example email validation will be skipped when form id = 2, otherwise the form will have email validation.

   Another easier option would be using the "Single Line Text" field instead of "Email" field.

   How would I change the syntax below to ignore email validation on form_id's 1,2 & 3?

   $rules[$element_name]['email'] = true;

   replace with this

   if ($form_id != '2') {
   $rules[$element_name]['email'] = true;
   }

   in that example email validation will be skipped when form id = 2, otherwise the form will have email validation.

   Could I just make the change below to ignore email validation on all form_id's?

   $rules[element_name]['email'] true;

   to

   $rules[element_name]['email'] false;

   If you no need the mail validation, I think you can use "single line text" field instead of email address. It's better.

   Yeah, but if you use single line text you cannot make the reply to address the users email address.

   Yes, you can set the code like this:

   $rules[element_name]['email'] = false;

   I'm wondering why would you like to remove the validation though?
