Title: Space above form Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Space above form * Resolved [Doug88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doug88/) * (@doug88) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/space-above-form/) * I just updated both WordPress and Easy Sign Up to the latest versions, and now the form has a large gap above it that I can’t get rid of. This is why I rarely update anything! I don’t know if the cause is Easy Sign Up or something else, but I’ve tried everything from tweaking my theme to deactivating all other plugins. I also tried getting rid of the

around the form, but that didn’t do anything. See blank space above Easy Sign Up form in right sidebar at [http://www.renewableenergywriter.com/](http://www.renewableenergywriter.com/). The HTML in the Right Sidebar Widget is: *

tags around the shortcode and uncheck the option to Automatically add paragraphs. * That should do it, if not it may be your theme is taking over and adding the formatting. If this is the cause talk to your developer or get back in touch with me. * Thread Starter [Doug88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doug88/) * (@doug88) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/space-above-form/#post-3880044) * Hi Greenweb, * Thanks…duh…uncheck Automatically add paragraphs did the trick. I obviously wasn’t paying attention yesterday. On another topic, after adding Easy Sign Up to my site last year, I inquired about an issue related to the confirmation email. People who sign up on my site receive an email that looks like it comes from “ mindfun3@box308.bluehost.com” (some mysterious email address related to my hosting provider). (At least the subject line of the confirmation email is correct: “ Email confirmation from Doug Hanvey.”) On the ESU Options page, I have both Notification Email and Automated Reply Email set to [doug@renewableenergywriter.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/space-above-form/doug@renewableenergywriter.com?output_format=md). That would be the preferred return address to show, but it doesn’t. Any new solutions? * Doug * Plugin Author [Greenweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greenweb/) * (@greenweb) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/space-above-form/#post-3880103) * Your host must be imposing it’s own from headers thus overwriting the ones created by plugin. * For most folks out there the From header would be the websites name and the Automated Reply Email. * These are 2 headers, the first is generated by my test server and the second is generated by your host. * ``` Delivered-To: greenweb@greenvilleweb.us Received: by 10.58.50.10 with SMTP id y10csp152451ven; Thu, 27 Jun 2013 07:51:24 -0700 (PDT) X-Received: by 10.236.29.82 with SMTP id h58mr4820655yha.4.1372344684641; Thu, 27 Jun 2013 07:51:24 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: from iMac.local (06.27.07.51.24) by mx.google.com with ESMTP id y27si1566466yhc.101.2013.06.27.07.51.24 for ; Thu, 27 Jun 2013 07:51:24 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: neutral (google.com: 88.12.12.226 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of greenweb@imac.local) client-ip=88.12.12.226; Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=neutral (google.com: 88.12.12.226 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of greenweb@imac.local) smtp.mail=greenweb@imac.local Received: by iMac.local (Postfix, from userid 501) id 184F44BD92A; Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:51:08 -0400 (EDT) To: greenweb@greenvilleweb.us Subject: Email confirmation from Easy Sign Up Test Site Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 14:51:08 +0000 From: Easy Sign Up Test Site Message-ID: X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: PHPMailer 5.2.1 (http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/phpmailer/) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8"
