Hi,
i’ve found a few issues in the review validation process.

First issue is that when you leave the comment field empty nothing happens. Meaning that the submit button doesn’t do anything and nothing is displayed to the user. I can see in the javascript associated with the button that it’s adding a ‘validation-failed’ css class to the comments input, but this class isn’t defined in the theme style. So nothing happens. Also, besides the css class a dialog box with an error message should be displayed just like it’s displayed if i don’t select a rating (and rating is mandatory).

The second issue is that when i successfully enter a review, the review is created but no message is shown to the user. The page just gets refreshed.

Thanks.

Hello,

1. Thanks for the notice. We will fix it in next theme update.
As a temporary solution, you may edit woopress/woocommerce/single-product-reviews file and change this http://prntscr.com/kctp2t to
$comment_form['comment_field'] .= '<div class="form-group"><label for="comment" class="control-label">'.__('Your Review', 'woopress').'</label><textarea id="comment" name="comment" cols="45" rows="12" aria-required="true" required></textarea></div>';
+ add this code in custom css:
```
.tab-content-inner #commentform textarea {
    width: 100%;
    outline: none;
}
```
2. It works in the same way with default WC theme – Storefront.

Regards
