 * Hi,
 * In the frontend I am testing if everything is working.
    I have noticed problems
   with the error message not appearing when I click enter. The error message works
   only if I click on acceptance.
 * If I remove the acceptance string in the backend everything works fine.
 * What am I doing wrong?
 * the acceptance string is this:
 *     ```
       [acceptance acceptance] Your data will be processed in compliance with the GDPR privacy law (Article 13 of Legislative Decree No. 196/2003) only in order to respond to this request. They will in no case be transferred to third parties. To view the complete information, please refer to <a href="/privacy-policy/"> Privacy Policy </a>. [/ acceptance]
       ```
   
 * I tried to remove the Privacy policy link too but nothing.`

 * Your form is working properly. It is just that the submit button is disabled 
   until the acceptance checkbox is selected.
 * Applying CSS styles to disabled submit buttons is advised.
