But when authors get such emails from readers, they are not interested in just a subject line and text. They are certainly interested in additional details such as the reader’s name, email address, maybe a phone number, and maybe additional one or two details. These are not necessarily going to be provided through the subject and description area. It’s a miss. Sorry… not good enough. It could be the rock- star of Multi-Authors Blogs if it included more fields, including validation (email, no code), and if each additional field could be configured (field tag, mandatory or not etc). Good idea though. I guess it’s only a matter of time before such a plugin becomes available. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/01a3c022dd03a80608daebc13e81ade98d56bf16ede829ada009316e9e59e797? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[basic but fullfill my need](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-but-fullfill-my-need/)󠁿 [lovemice](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lovemice/) September 3, 2016 I usr this plugin for my woo-commerce site.
