Just a quick tip for anyone that is suddenly experiencing the following error when you or people on your WordPress installation are getting this error when commenting or replying to a comment:

Error: Please fill the required fields (name, email).

Here’s a screenshot:

Assuming the fields are all filled out properly or you are logged in, this is 99% likely caused by a plugin and the majority of the time, it’s the Jetpack plugin. You will have to disable the plugin and you will no longer encounter the error when commenting or replying.

Once you’ve identified which plugin is causing the issue, completely delete the plugin and re-install it and that should resolve the issue.

Hope that helps!
