    Just updated from 5.7.51 to 5.7.52 and an unwanted (normally hidden) extra field was added to my subscription form.

    Form in 5.7.51:

    Form in 5.7.52:

    —

    Code in version 5.7.51:

    <label style="position:absolute;top:-99999px;left:-99999px;z-index:-99;" aria-hidden="true"><span hidden="">Laat dit veld leeg.</span><input type="email" name="esfpx_es_hp_email" class="es_required_field" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="-1" value=""></label>

    Code in version 5.7.52:

    <label aria-hidden="true"><span hidden="">Laat dit veld leeg.</span><input type="email" name="esfpx_es_hp_email" class="es_required_field" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="-1" value=""></label>

    Bold part is missing in version 5.7.52.
    Seems like a bug?

    Hi @anupamkhatua,

    Thanks very much for your reply.

    I did update to 5.7.53, but unfortunately the security field is still displayed at the frontend. I’m running the latest version of WordPress (6.7.2) and tested this in Twenty Twenty-Five as well.

    For now I manually added your removed CSS code from version 5.7.51 (see bold section in my first post) to my child theme.

    This way:

    [aria-hidden="true"] .es_required_field {
          position: absolute;
          top: -99999px;
          left: -99999px;
          z-index: -99;
    }

    This hides the extra field, but of course just for me as a workaround. Other users might still face the problem.

    In case you need additional info to help solve this, please let me know.

    Best regards,
    Plimfec

    Hi @anupamkhatua,

    No problem. I updated to version 5.7.53.1 and noticed the inline CSS from version 5.7.51 is back in place. So I can confirm the security field is hidden again in this new version. Problem solved.

    Thanks very much for your efforts and keeping me informed.
    I’ll mark this issue as resolved.

    Best regards,
    Plimfec
