# Attribute readonly="readonly"

 * Hi, I’m using fast secure contact form perfectly, but there’s a little problem.
   When I use the attribute readonly=”readonly” works perfectly with logged-in users
   by filling name and email fields, but non-logged users can’t edit name and email
   fields, so I had to disable readonly=”readonly” but logged-in users can now edit
   it. There’s a way to make only logged-in users can not edit these fields and 
   non-logged can?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Sorry the late response…
 * If I enable readonly=”readonly” and auto form fill, the fields displays name 
   and e-mail of the logged in user and he can’t edit it. But users not logged can’t
   fill the fields and it stays blank.

 * Hi as far as I know the readonly attribute only allows you to read the field 
   you can’t edit the field.

 * Okay, but there is a way to allow only visitors can edit? Or suggest to the author
   of the plugin that adds this feature in a future update?

 * This code has been added for the next update. It will automatically make the 
   name and email form fields readonly when the feature is enabled to auto fill 
   the logged on user’s name and email. Non-logged in users can still edit those
   fields to enter their own name and email. Note: administrator is ignored, has
   to fill in the fields those always.
