  I set up a contact form on a page. When I previewed it it showed my name and email already filled in. Certainly don’t want that when I go live. Is this a function of preview or am I doing something wrong??

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

  Hi there,

  You’re not doing anything wrong. :) When you’re logged in to WordPress.com, all contact forms on WordPress.com sites will show your information filled in. For other WordPress.com users, it will show their own information there. (If someone isn’t logged in to a WordPress.com account, the form will be blank.)

  You can learn more about how contact forms work here: Contact Form

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
