Hi Andrew, thank you for reporting this!

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Wordpress, could you provide a step-by-step process to create "content of form fields" in Wordpress?

Adding webcompat? in case someone is already familiar with it:

Log into your WordPress admin dashboard.
Install a form plugin for WordPress.
Create a new form.

I followed this steps:

1. Go https://wordpress.com/ and log in
2. Click "Write" button at the top-right position
3. Click a blue plus button named "Add block" at the top-left position
4. Type "form" in the search box
5. Select "Form"
6. Click "Skip"

And then I was confused since there was no "content" in the form and I couldn't fill in. Was I even following the right steps? 🤔

Hi Andrew, I am trying to reproduce the bug, but installing a plugin requires a business plan. Could you share which form plugin are you using? Thanks! And if you share a video to show the issue, that would be really helpful. Thanks!
