The Theme for the Version 3 Easy Sign Up Plugin Update is Back to WordPress.
The Code has been rewritten and optimized to use native WordPress functions where available. For instance the form processing is now handled within WordPress’s scope and is no longer an external call to a file within the plugin’s directory but not instantiated by WordPress.
