Confirmation email field

    On the Labels tab in the Field Labels Settings section there is a line for “Re-enter email”. I would like to have an email confirmation box as a required field that checks that the address entered into both boxes is the same. I would assume that the “Re-enter email” section I mentioned is for that, but I don’t see where to add such a box other than a custom field titled that. But if I add the field that way, it wouldn’t check for and address match between the two email fields, would it?

    How do I add an email confirmation field that checks for the same address?

    Hi the plugin already has that security checking in place.

    When a person enters one e-mail address and then types the second e-mail address the plugin checks to make sure both e-mail address are the same. If they are not they will see the following error message The two email addresses did not match.

    I’m sorry. I’m not understanding how to implement the confirm email feature, then.

    I added a second email field and moved it to below the default email field, but when I tested the form I entered two different email addresses and the form successfully submitted.

    What am I missing?

    Hi you don’t have to add a second e-mail field.

    All you have to do is enable the following option Enable double e-mail entry required on the form. in the E-mail field.

    Oh – sorry! The checkbox for that just happened to be right below the viewable area in my browser when I opened up the email detaila!

    However, I don’t understand the Caution about the Default setting. in the Default field I’ve put “Email” and “Email==Re-enter Email” (which seemed to me what the Caution is saying), and didn’t notice anything different. Could you explain that, please (and then I’ll leave you alone! 🙂 )

    Hi you don’t really have to add or make any changes to the e-mail settings. Once you enable the option I mentioned above the plugin takes care of the rest.

    Okay. Yes, it does work as expected. I was just wondering what the Caution means.

    Thanks for your help!
