I think that’s the default anyway. Have you checked that the correct field is selected in the drop-down menu in the Email section? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Visual Form Builder] No user email in form FROM: or TO:](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-user-email-in-form-from-or-to/) * [webstress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webstress/) * (@webstress) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-user-email-in-form-from-or-to/#post-9221938) * I had the same problem, and here’s how I fixed it. * At the top of your form click on the Settings button to reveal the 4 sections( General, Email, Confirmation, and Notification). In the Email section you can set the user’s name and email — but you must first make those 2 fields required.( Each will show a red star if so.) * VFB doesn’t by default include a Name field in the list of available fields, so make sure you have created a Text field and designated it as Name or whatever you want to show up in the From email you receive when the form is submitted. * I’ve found that not having a Name field pop in, only the Email field, causes VFB to put “WA” as the name when I hit reply to the form I receive. * Hope this helps! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Visual Form Builder] Does upgrading to Visual Form Builder Pro solve spam problem?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-upgrading-to-visual-form-builder-pro-solve-spam-problem/) * Thread Starter [webstress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webstress/) * (@webstress) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-upgrading-to-visual-form-builder-pro-solve-spam-problem/#post-9150939) * Thanks! If I buy the developer’s license and later want to buy just 1 add-on, I assume I can use the add-on on unlimited sites, right? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Visual Form Builder] Spam from free version; can we fix the flaw ourselves?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spam-from-free-version-can-we-fix-the-flaw-ourselves/) * Thread Starter [webstress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webstress/) * (@webstress) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spam-from-free-version-can-we-fix-the-flaw-ourselves/#post-9150870) * [@jlehrer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlehrer/), Yes, that is what he meant. I know because after trying the demo of the Pro version in the link above, I can verify it does use the recaptcha I wanted… the good one where the user just needs to check the box. Awesome! (Though I still don’t understand how this can thwart a bot.) * I just had a “DOH!” moment reading my original post. We can just create our own captcha field in the free version! We don’t need to be able to retrofit the existing one as I laid out. The spammers who know about the flaw and are exploiting it are probably not going to realize there is a 2nd captcha field. I’ll call it the “gotcha” field 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] Contact Form DB merging/not saving both Contact 7 forms’ data](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-db-mergingnot-saving-both-contact-7-forms-data/) * Thread Starter [webstress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webstress/) * (@webstress) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-db-mergingnot-saving-both-contact-7-forms-data/#post-8397622) * I was finally able to establish that Contact Form DB plugin is working correctly. Hurray! I suspect that a spammer was manipulating data submission to the Quick form (which had no captcha) and masking it to look like it came from the Contact- us form. I have installed a captcha now so that will probably solve that problem. * Thanks again for your help and attention, Michael. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] Contact Form DB merging/not saving both Contact 7 forms’ data](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-db-mergingnot-saving-both-contact-7-forms-data/) * Thread Starter [webstress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webstress/) * (@webstress) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-db-mergingnot-saving-both-contact-7-forms-data/#post-8393969) * Thanks again, Michael. CF7 is sending emails, as far as we know. It might be just a glitch that’s causing CFDB to merge the submissions from 2 forms on the dashboard page. * CF7 had a couple of config errors, which I thought might be factors in CFDB not working correctly, but I finally resolved those today. I then submitted another round of forms. * Thanks for your help. * I suspect this will all be for naught, because the theme developer apparently coded a special contact form in the backend for all the property listing pages. When I view source in the browser it has another form name. It’s proprietary, so not one you can support unfortunately. * I really appreciate the time you’ve taken and apologize for wasting it! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] Contact Form DB merging/not saving both Contact 7 forms’ data](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-db-mergingnot-saving-both-contact-7-forms-data/) * Thread Starter [webstress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webstress/) * (@webstress) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-db-mergingnot-saving-both-contact-7-forms-data/#post-8393272) * Thanks, Michael! I didn’t see your answer until now. * Yes, CFDB is still merging submissions to 2 forms — but it’s captured only the 2 spams sent thru the Contact-us form, and none of the tests we’ve sent to get the correct form recognized so it will appear in the dropdown menu to be selectable. * Before I uninstall CFDB, do you have any ideas on what I could try?
