 * I am a new WordPress user. I accidently put my name and email into the reply 
   box when editing a new page. Now, it comes up every time. How do I get it out
   of there? Help? Thanks!

 * I am not sure what you mean.
 * When you are logged in, your name will always show in the comment fields.
 * Try logging out, and see if it still occurs. 😉
 * Otherwise feel free to post back on this.

 * When I am logged out of administration and press to comment on a post. I get 
   a page with the post and “Leave A Reply”. The first two text boxes are name and
   email. My name and email are in those two text boxes. The are suppose to be blank
   for the user. I went into the appearance/comment.php, but I can’t find the exact
   location to correct the error. I am not familiar with PHP. Thanks!

 * Is this occurring with one of the standard themes that comes with WordPress, 
   or did you install a new theme?
    Did you change the comment template files at
   all? Have you cleared your browser’s cookies and history? Do you have any third-
   party plugins installed? Does the problem still occur when you turn these off?

 * 1. I downloaded a theme from the wordpress sight directly from the workpress 
   editor under appearanc/themes/editor.
    2. I was looking at a comment on my site
   when I was still in the edit mode. I was testing the reply not realizing I was
   still in edit and put my name and email in the “Leave Reply” name and email textboxes.
   I must of changed it. I did not actually go into the comment.php and change it.
 * I have been looking at this. The comment.php contains the “Leave a Reply” contains
   the form and the text boxes for name and email. I am not sure, but I believe 
   I read this uses a SQL database. It looks like it set my name and email as the
   default for those text boxes. The question is how do I undo it?
 * I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!
 * PS. My site is [http://www.theprincessfarted.com](http://www.theprincessfarted.com).
   You can see for yourself. Click to comment on the current post and you will see
   what I am talking about.

   and patience. Laurie
