Remove Placeholder Text

    I’ve found the string in submission-form.php.

    <input name="user-submitted-name" type="text" value="" placeholder="<?php _e('Your Name', 'usp'); ?>"<?php echo $required; ?> class="usp-input">

    I can’t figure out what snippet needs to be removed to no longer have the placeholder there. I’ve tried deleting different things, but nothing seems to work when I upload back into FTP and refresh. Any insight would be appreciated!

    Is this for a custom template? If so, it sounds like maybe the setting to enable to custom templates is not enabled. Check the plugin settings for more infos.

    It’s enabled to custom template. I was able to change the width of the other fields, but can’t seem to get the placeholder to go away. I even removed a huge chunk of code just to see if it would make a difference and nothing changed.

    Ah.. it could be the browser is adding its own placeholders.. normally to remove them you just need to remove the placeholder attribute from whichever field. Check the markup and see if it includes the placeholder att, if it doesn’t then it most likely is the browser, or some theme JavaScript or something.
