# Email Feild Problem

 * I have that field enabled but not required. The problem is it is visible to logged
   in users. Presumably logged in users email address is on file so it is a little
   redundant and confusing to ask the logged in user to resupply it.
 * I notice the Name and URL fields do not appear on the form when the user is logged
   in and I also have them enabled but not required. So, maybe rendering the email
   field for logged in users is a oversight. Hope so because I’d like to see it 
   go away when logged in.
 * Many Thanks

 * Hey [@y2kand13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/y2kand13/), thanks for the
   feedback. It actually makes a lot of sense. I will add this feature in the next
   plugin update, so that the email field is hidden automatically if/when the user
   is logged in to WordPress. Will also look at the Name and URL fields, to make
   sure everything is consistent. Let me know if any other ideas or feedback, it
   is appreciated.

 * Thank for the positive feedback on my feedback, and while I have your ear I do
   happen to have a suggestion that you might look into?
 * I got an ideal, but if you implement it, you’ll probably only add the feature
   to your pro version of your plugin. That said, if this feature was present in
   your pro version I’d send you your asking price in a hurry!
 * My ideal involves putting a preview button on your form to let users view their
   work before they submit it. There is a plugin available now that provides previews
   after a fashion not far from what your UPS form could use. Maybe you could look
   at it and figure out how to add a similar feature to your plugin.

 * Thanks for the idea, [@y2kand13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/y2kand13/).
   I will take a closer look at the Post Preview plugin and see what’s possible 
   maybe for adding a post-preview feature to the pro version. Thanks again, I appreciate
   the feedback.

 * Yeah nice to hear, if you do get that feature working it should be a simple matter
   to redirect to the newly created post like most other forum type software does
   automatically.

 * The antispam question is another field that can go away for logged in users.

 * Just to follow up with this, the Email field is hidden by default in the next
   version of the plugin. Should be available before WP 5.4 release. Thanks for 
   the feedback, [@y2kand13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/y2kand13/).

 * **Update:** I changed the functionality to better fit with existing options. 
   So in the next version of the plugin, you can hide the Email field for logged-
   in users by enabling the option “Registered Email” (under the Users settings).
