  • cforms version: 8.02
  • Your Wordpress version: 2.5

I'm making a form that has an optional second email field. Leaving the field blank passes thru fine, despite the fact that the email option says it "Makes the field required and verifies the email address".

However, what I really care about is that all email fields are given the same text add-on, "valid email required" by default. This could be confusing to a user that might inturpret this to mean that they actually do need to enter a second email address.

Since I am ok with the field set to blank, but want it to be an email if not blank, I think it would help if there were two different lables. For example "valid email" and valid email required".

This is fixed in v8.1

Also, the second email field (for verification) should not be tagged 'is email', only 'is required' (the latter is optional).

that all email fields are given the same text add-on

The second field is not 'considered' an actual email field per se, simply a verification field, hence the missing "is required" text.

Feel free to add custom error messages to make sure your user understand what needs to be inserted in the various fields. Custom error messages will be shown above each field.
