Does “*” mean “required field”?
-
I always thought that “*” is the way Contact Form 7 makes a field “required” in the code.
However I want to get rid of all required fields as I test my form.
… So I got rid of all the “*”… Yet the required fields remain!
– Is there some other way the fields are being made “required”?
– How can I make none of the fields “required” without starting over again?

With a single
radiobutton, you may only check or don’t check it.Because once you checked it, it remains checked. Unless you use some JavaScript code to toggle between “checked” and “unchecked”.
If you need a single field where users can check or uncheck it, then use a
checkbox.For example, if you want an “I agree to the terms & conditions” field, you can:
● Use a singlecheckbox.
● Or use tworadiobuttons — one being a “yes” and the other a “no”.(But you can also use a single
radiobutton for that kind of field, where users must check the button.)And yes, in Contact Form 7, an asterisk (i.e.
*) after the field type (e.g.checkbox*) indicates a required field. Except for singleradiobuttons, where by default, it becomes a “required” field once checked.-
