    Hi everyone, I am wanting to create a new form with only a users name and email address for a subscription form but cannot figure out how to remove the subject and message fields from the mail tab without creating errors.

    Is this possible? I’ve read through the setup docs but nothing there explaining how to remove the fields in the mail tab.

    My website is not live yet but on my local server (wamp).

    Creating a normal contact form with all the fields included works fine.

    Was hoping to create a form without the extra content other than name and email address.

    Thank but that doesn’t explain how to do what I asked. I asked about removing the fields from the mail tab not the form tab.

    Yes I have read that document also and it still doesn’t explain how to remove the subject, additional headers and message values. I tried deleting the mail tags from the mail tab fields but it creates errors.

    Here is what I have in my form tab:

    `<label> Your name
    [text* your-name] </label>

    <label> Your email
    [email* your-email] </label>

    [submit “Submit”]`

    Here is what I want in my mail tab:

    To: [email protected]
    From: [your-name] <[your-email]>
    Subject: empty
    additional headers: empty
    message: empty

    Nothing else.

    What errors do you get?

    When I leave the fields blank that I don’t want I see these errors:

    !(configuration error) There is a possible empty field.

    Ideally I would like to remove the whole text and textarea input types from the mail tab for everything except the name and email input types.

    I thought by making the changes in the form tab the same changes would be shown in the mail tab but apparently not.

    I may have to try something else.
