  I was contacted yesterday by a person who misspelled his Email-adress in my contact form, and now I cannot respond to him ):
  Its not the first time either :)

  Is there a way to secure that this wont happen by making the contact form better?
  -Maybe 2 separate fields with “enter mail adress again”, and with no support for copy/paste?

  Could anyone send me in the right direction please?

  This is how my form looks right now:

  If you want to add another email address field to the WordPressdotcom contact form, you can do so, but the form isn’t programmed to validate that the two fields are identical.

  I simply added a note on my site’s contact form asking people to double check that they entered their correct email address if they expect to get an answer. :)

  If that doesn’t do it for you, the other options you have are Google docs forms (linked from your site to the form) or embeds from Wufoo https://en.support.wordpress.com/wufoo/ or JotForms http://www.jotform.com/help/299-How-to-Embed-Form-to-Wordpress-com

  Happy dance update! The Google docs form can be embedded, as WPcom changes the iframe that Google gives into a shortcode. :)

  Here’s the Support doc on Google docs: https://en.support.wordpress.com/google-docs/

  Thank you Jennifer!

  So I create the form I want to use i docs, then embed it to a post on my website.
  -Then I suppose docs has the opportunity to spellcheck two fields of signatures. Otherwise I`ll be just as lost haha :)

  Ill check it out, and if I cant make it Ill go to the google docs-forums :)

  Thanks again :)
