Hi SiteOrigin Team,
I’m using the Origami theme and don’t know how to fix the following issue:
When allowing comments unterneath blogposts, WP correctly states that mandatory fields are marked with * (and I’ve checked that both name and email are required in the commentary settings). However, the little * doesn’t then show up in the respective fields. This is potentially confusing for users and also something I’d like to fix with regards to GDPR. I’ve already disabled comments in other blogposts due to avoid issues, but that can’t be it, really.
Here’s an example from my website: https://christine-piontek.de/das-ende-vom-anfang/
Do you have any suggestions how this can be fixed? Or could it be a bug?
Many thanks
Christine
Hi TiniPio,
Thanks for letting us know about this. I’ve logged this as a bug in our issue tracker.
You can fix this issue by using a plugin like Loco Translate to append the asterisks to the form labels. To do this, please install Loco Translate as that makes this adjustment easier.
Once installed, please navigate to WP AdminLoco TranslateThemes. Search for Origami and open it by clicking the theme name.
Select the relevant language (must match what you’ve set WordPress to use) and filter (1 in the image) for Name and then select the exact source text. Click the bottom most textarea (2) and set the Translation to Name* and save. Repeat this step for the Email field. Once complete, click Save (3). How does that look?

Hi Alex,

Best wishes,
Christine
