  holy caramba,

  on my contact page, in the place where someone who would like to comment should leave their name as a required field, my name is appearing. when i attempt to edit, the empty dropbox is there–my name is not there, neither in the visual edit or the HTML versions. I CANT MAKE THIS DROPDOWN BOX EMPTY. i even attempted to create a whole new contact page with a new dropbox, my name still appears. please help a sister out. i am new to this all and just want to get my first post up.

  thank you kindly,
  ms. yerba mate

  Hi mysyerbamate!

  It may seem a bit confusing, but the contact page and comment fields will automatically populate the information of the user logged in. If I were to contact you from your page, my information would show instead of yours. :)

  Hope this helps!

  Thank you!
  Tonya

  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.

  thank you willowfrye!

  you have relieved my frustration!
  i honestly never would have figured that out.
  i am what they call a total moron when it comes to all things that use a keyboard.
  just maybe one day that will change.
  until then i am so glad there are helpful people like you.
