[Joomla] How to remove or hide Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required

When you are building a form for your visitors to register an account to log in to your website, have you ever thought that the note “Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required” is not necessary? Do you want to remove or hide them so that your users are able to leave them blank? If you are looking for a perfect way to do that, here is a short blog post with clear guidelines.

First of all, you need to open Site_root/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_user.ini

After that, find the following text on line 80:

<blockquote>REGISTER_REQUIRED=Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.</blockquote>

Then, change it to <blockquote>REGISTER_REQUIRED=</blockquote>

That way, your registration form will no longer show the “Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.” note.
