Actually, and remove the “Email Address” text above the form field as well in the sidebar widget….both need to go 🙂
Hi,
there are a few solutions here in the support forums already related to hiding the red asterisk. You may want to do a quick search, I’m sure you’ll find at least 3 examples with code.
Secondly, If you want to hide the field label you’ll need to target it via CSS and set a display none on the element.

As suggested in previous posts, I tried this in my child theme’s custom CSS, both with and without the “!important” indicator…
.yks-required-label {
display: none;
}
…but it does not get rid of the red asterisk.
The child’s custom css form has worked well with other things I’ve added to it.
The label I wrote for the form field already says “Email Address (required)” so there is no need for the form to add anything else.
While the not-needed red asterisk is only an insignificant blemish on a computer screen, on my cell phone (and probably others) the asterisk is a bigger problem because the asterisk consumes a whole line of space for itself. It looks strange and wastes real estate, so it would be nice to get rid of it.
Hope you can help, possibly by adding a switch in the next version.
We no longer have the red asterisk in future versions. We are working hard on getting the next release out to the public. If interested you can find the working version here:
