Problem with Email Setting on Contact Form

    Hi, I have added a contact form to my contact page.
    It took the option to add my email and name to the email settings (which I understand directs the messages from the contact form to my the email address I enter).
    However after updating and publishing the page I see that my name and email are actually displayed in the fields of the form (name and email). Is this normal? I would prefer if this was not the case. Please let me know if there is a way to amend this.

    Many thanks,

    Caroline C

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

    Just an FYI, the info you see in the form is the loged in user’s info. If you are logged into wordpress it will be your information that fills the form. This should not be a problem, and it should still go to the address you saved in the settings.

    If this is about the autofilled information in a contact form or a comment box note that 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, 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.

    Also note that the Admin [edit] link is only for your convenience and the convenience of your Editors, if you have any. And only you and your editors can see it and use it while you are logged in to WordPress.com.
