# [Plugin: Custom Contact Forms] Checkboxes problem

 * Hi, I love this plugin and it does exactly what I am after but I am having a 
   problem with the checkboxes. Whether I set the initial value to Yes or No, if
   I tick a box, it is always reported as No. If I don’t tick a box it is reported
   as “Not checked”. How can I get it to report Yes if it is ticked? Also, I have
   edited the label of a field which I have created myself but the old label is 
   still being displayed even if I detach and then reattach the field to the form.
   Any ideas? Thanks

 * Realised what I was doing wrong with the checkboxes. Still not getting the updated
   field label but not too bothered so closing this.

 * Hi univit.
    I have the same problem with the checkboxes. Can you explain how 
   you solved it? Thanks for your help. Pool-Stage

 * Hi pool-stage, can’t remember exactly what the fix was (think I was setting the
   value= incorrectly) but the following syntax worked for me:
 * <div><input id=”Cough-1298376811″ class=” ccf-tooltip-field” title=”Tick here
   if the person has a cough” name=”Has a Cough” type=”checkbox” value=”Yes” /><
   label class=”checkbox” for=”Cough”> A cough</label></div>
 * Hope that helps!

 * Hi univit,
    thanks for your help. In the meantime I found the problem. It was
   the initial value. Greetings from Stuttgart, pool-stage
