error configuration and no actual solution for why

For about 10 years in the 2010s I used this plugin as an IT professional building dozens of wordpress-based sites. It was always frustrating trying to fix the errors because the documentation sucked.

Fast forward and I haven’t been in the IT industry for over 7 years and it still sucks. AYFKM?!

If the form error is going to say: [your-subject]  “There is a possible empty field.”

[your-subject] is a valid replacement value.

There’s a serious problem with the quality of this plugin.

100% Why wordpress has always had major issues. It should come with basic functionality like contact form but instead relies on 3rd party plugins to fill the void. Are we going to have to wait another couple decades for a CMS that actually comes with baked-in basic functionality instead of relying on 3rd party crapware?
