Removing email suggestions

Hi rikukarjalaine,

Currently we don’t have the option to customize email suggestions. I’ve made a note of the feature request and we’ll keep it on our radar as we plan out our roadmap for the future.

Thank you for the suggestion!

You can use   in setting Email Suggestion. Suggestion still appears but is almost invisible.

Thank you for the suggestion! Works for now.

+1 Having the same problem in WPForms on New Zealand localised site.

Email field where the user enters a top level “.nz” domain name email address like contact@levelonedomain.nz always see the suggestion to change it to “.nl”

e.g. Did you mean contact@levelonedomain.nl?

Hi okrogerthat,

Currently we don’t have the option to disable email suggestions, though we’ve noted the feature suggestion for our team’s review. I apologize for any inconvenience with this!

For now, a possible option might be to edit the validation message that is displayed for email suggestions, as the users in this thread have suggested.

To edit the validation message, in the WordPress admin sidebar go to WPForms > Settings, and go to the Validation tab.

Hi,

It does the same with South African domains, .co.za. It allows .org.za but it still suggests that I use a different domain name. It suggests @mail.org.za instead of @mydomain.org.za.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Just a quick update that you can now disable the email suggestion feature using some custom code:

add_filter( 'wpforms_mailcheck_enabled', '__return_false' );

In case it helps, here’s our tutorial with the most common ways to add custom code like this.

Hope this helps ??

Guys, paste this CSS and its done:

label#wpforms-297-field_1_suggestion.wpforms-error {
    display: none;
}

Same here. On version 1.5.8.2 (current) getting suggestion to change “.lv” to “.nl”.

Any other way, great plugin. Huge thank’s to devs! And thank you for answers!

I suggest ignoring top level domain in e-mail address check, as long as it doesn’t contain special symbols. There ar too many of them with varying lengths and they are making more.

@mdqmatias Good idea, though you could do better:

label[id$="_suggestion"].wpforms-error.mailcheck-error {
	display: none !important;
}

This way it’s more universal and affects only suggestions on mail check, leaving error messages as is.
“!important” might not be necessary for everyone.

Correct way to do this is using a filter in your child theme’s functions.php as described on their official page here:

https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-disable-the-email-suggestion-on-the-email-form-field/

This really needs to be fixed or at least possible to disable from inside the plugin settings. Asking whether you meant an entirely different TLD can really antagonise some users.

Hi @pipeweed,

Sorry for the frustration with that, and we’ve made note of your suggestion.

In the meantime you can use the custom code in our tutorial to disable the email suggestion feature.

Hope this helps!
