# [Plugin: Custom Contact Forms] custom forms don't remember fields

 * Hi,
 * I’ve created my own form. When not all “must” fields are filled out, it tells
   me what fields are missing. So far so good. But there’s no link pointing back
   to the form.
 * In the same wordpress page, I have a CCF form with the default fields from the
   backend. In this case, the back-link is there.
 * I was able to make the back-link appear on my custom form, but then it disappeared
   on the default contact form!
 * What I did was
    file: custom-contact-forms-front.php function: contentFilter(
   $content) line: `$err_link = (!empty($this->error_return)) ? '<p>error_return.'"
   title="'.__('Go Back', 'custom-contact-forms').'">< ' . __('Go Back to Form.','
   custom-contact-forms') . '`</p>' : ''; –> changing …(!empty(… TO …(empty(…
 * What I would like is to have the back-link on both forms – custom AND default.
 * If this is not possible, I only create custom forms. No problem. BUT when using
   custom forms, the functionality of remembering the already entered fields does
   not work!
 * I would be very glad If anybody could help me.
    Thanksè
 * Here’s the code for the custom form (maybe there’s something wrong as to why 
   the fields are not remembered when hitting back-link?):
    ` <form class="akt_form"
   action="" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="ccf_customhtml" value="1" /
   ><input type="hidden" name="success_message" value="Thank you for filling out
   our form!" /><input type="hidden" name="thank_you_page" value="../saxo/?sent=
   yes" /><input type="hidden" name="destination_email" value="roger.rutishauser@fuw.
   ch" /><input type="hidden" name="required_fields" value="akt_name, akt_vorname,
   akt_email, akt_tel, akt_einverstanden" /> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><label>Sprache
   </label></td> <td><select class="akt_sprache" name="akt_sprache"> <option selected
