 * Hi Matthew, after updating to v. 2.7.1 our validation stopped working. Can you
   take a look? [http://rmpex.org/volunteers/teams-committees/2608-2/returning-examiners-registration-v2](http://rmpex.org/volunteers/teams-committees/2608-2/returning-examiners-registration-v2).
   If you click submit without filling out the required fields it opens a new window
   instead of highlighting the missing fields.

 * Your theme doesn’t include the wp_footer() function.

 * So we can no longer use this plugin?

 * What? No. Just include that function in your theme’s footer.php and all of the
   required scripts will be included on the page.
 * The 2.7.1 update has nothing to do with the validation not working. This is a
   theme issue.
