How do I turn off "comment is required" when leaving a rating on a product in woocommerce

Question

I am using woocommerce and I allow comments on each product. The Star rating is included. In the woocommerce settings > products > reviews the box for "ratings are required to leave a review" is NOT checked. But, when testing and submitting a rating I get the message that a comment is required. Is there a way to turn this off that I'm missing? If I turn off allow comments on each product than ratings are also turned off.

Answer 1

add_filter('allow_empty_comment', '__return_true');
