Add custom validation messages to required fields in your forms.

== Description ==

This plugin provides a brand new "Field Validation" management tab in the Contact Form 7 editor. From this tab, you can easily set up individual error messages for each required field instead of using the generic default message.

**Key Features:**
* Automatically detects required fields present in the form.
* Independent management interface at the "Field Validation" tab.
* Automatically overrides the error message on the frontend when a user leaves a field blank.
* Extremely lightweight, stores data via Post Meta, without interfering with the core or slowing down Contact Form 7.

2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
