# Remove blank fields from email?

 * Hello. Question regarding the email that the visual form builder sends out… I
   have a really long form, with a large number (100+) fields. However, not all 
   of the fields are required, and the average person doesn’t fill out the entire
   form.
 * Is it possible to remove the blank fields from the email we receive? The email
   that the VFB sends gets printed, and it would be ideal if it didn’t waste so 
   much paper on empty fields.
 * Alternately, where would I look if I tried to manually edit the plugin to do 
   what I want? Thanks for any help.

 * You can do this with the Pro version. There’s an option in the Settings menu 
   to skip empty fields in the email.

 * Thanks. I couldn’t find that in the settings, but I did find code on your support
   site that I can add to my functions.php file which will do the same thing. I 
   just didn’t realize it was possible at first.
 * Appreciate the help.

 * Just so it’s clear, both the setting and the filter are only available in the
   Pro version.
 * Glad to help!
