  I made a contact form, but on the published website (hiretracy.com). The form fields are filled with weird stuff that is else where in the site. Name field filled with “bradyeathertonyahoocom”, etc.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  re: contact forms and comment boxes and autofilled information

  Note that there will be auto-filled information in a contact form or a comment box but your information is visible to you when you are logged in and have not cleared your browser cache and cookies. No one else can see it.

  When someone makes a comment on your blog, unless they have cleared their cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies, WordPress.com will recognize them and complete the details for them. No one else will be able to view those details in comment boxes or in contact forms. The next person who comments will see blank fields. Commenters will not see each others details.

  Additional information:
  There is an Admin Edit link on posts and pages that only you as Admin and any Editors you have created can see when you are logged in. It’s for your convenience and your visitors cannot see it. You cannot remove it as it’s coded into the theme templates and we cannot edit templates or themes.

  The only people who can edit your site are those you provide that ability to. See here https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/ and here please https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-notifications/

  If you log out, clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and then visit your site without logging in that links will not appear to you.

  I tried clearing the cache. I think it’s a different issue.

  Name field shows “bradyeathertonyahoocom”
  Email field shows “(email visible only to moderators and staff)”
  Website field shows “http://hiretracy.wordpress.com”
  Comment Field is blank

  Yes and I already explained why that is. When you are logged in that is what will appear to you.
