New To Wordpress

[mike]

Hi, I have started a wordpress page where I intend to let visitors ask questions or leave comments.

 

I did a comment / reply to a post I did for testing.

 

wordpress makes visitors register with name, email, website so I did that.

 

I have since removed that entire post but when I go to other posts and click READ MORE,

 

it displays my name , email, and website.

 

I can't seem to make it stop doing that.

 

any help will be greatly appreciated

 

thanks in advance

You will run into the auto-complete/auto-fill feature on many forms including WordPress, but you are seeing it because your browser allows it. To deal with this from your browser(Chrome), check out their help section on How to use Autofill.

 

If you want to deal with this on a code level so it affects everyone you would need to set the autocomplete="off" tag in your forms.

<form action="wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform" class="comment-form" novalidate="" autocomplete="off">
  <p class="comment-form-author">
    <label for="author">Name <span class="required">*</span></label>
    <input id="author" name="author" value="" size="30" aria-required="true" type="text" autocomplete="off">
  </p>
</form>

You can disable this feature for the entire form as shown in Line1 or for just one field as show in Line 4. Your mileage will vary on what and where to edit depending on your theme or potentially the plugins you have in use.
