Email required to complete booking?

[Leah McCloskey]

In spite of making the email field not required, when I try to enter a booking without an email, I get an error asking to provide a valid email address.

Is there a way to allow someone to book without an email address? Some of the people registering may not have one.

Hi Leah,

At this point the email is required unless the user is logged-in. You can remove the email programatically with:

add_action( 'eventorganiser_get_event_booking_form', function($form) {
    $form->remove_element( 'email' );
} );

But this will only stop the email from being displayed: but bookings will be rejected. To prevent that you can do one of two things:

Edit the code to remove lines 292 and 293 from includes/booking-actions.php which reads:

    if ( !is_email( $email ) ) {
        $form->add_error( 'invalid_bookee_email', __( 'Please provide a valid email address.', 'eventorganiserp' ) );

or, hook into eventorganiser_validate_booking_submission with priority 9 or lower, and re-add the email field, setting a dummy value.
