   Hello. I am a technology teacher using a Wordpress blog in my school. I really want to change some of the fields in the comment form. I'd like to change the Name field to First Name & Homeroom. Ideally, I'd like to not require students to leave an email address. If I can't delete that, is there a way to populate that field with an email address of my choosing?

   I found and installed Cforms thinking that would solve my problem. I can now make customizable forms but the info is only emailed to me and doesn't ever show up as a comment. I tried making Cforms my comment default but messed everything up.

   Just asking.

   Thanks

   Well, you can solve the email issue without doing any heavy lifting - in the wordpress admin page, go to settings > discussion, and in the field for "Before a comment appears" uncheck "Comment author must fill out name and e-mail".

   That should allow them to leave just a name.
