There has been an update to the WP-Members Memberships for WooCommerce extension.  This is a bug fix release that corrects a problem with the renewal notification emails.  All users should upgrade.

This release also adds the wpmem_wc_order_completed() API function that can be used to programatically complete an order. Additionally, the memberships view in the My Account screen was updated so that if you have a mix of expiring and non-expiring membership options, that the “renew” button doesn’t show for non-expiring memberships.  Previously, the logic was an “all-or-none” approach, meaning that if you have one expiring membership, all would show the renew button, or not show it if there were was one non-expiring membership – basically, whichever came first.  The new view logic corrects this problem.

WP-Members 3.3.5 has been released. This is a general update release that includes some early work on some new features.  These new features will be optional from now on until version 3.4.0. This includes:

  • Send new registrations a confirmation link prior to account being activated. (Not compatible with WooCommerce at this time)
  • Send password reset link.
  • Use WordPress login error message instead of WP-Members login error.
  • WP-CLI commands

I’ve been working on adding documentation for new features as well as new filter/action hooks and API functions.  You can read more about what is in the release either by reviewing the change log in the readme file or here: https://rocketgeek.com/release-announcements/wp-members-3-3-5-beta-release/

WP-Members 3.3.5 Beta Release

The 3.3.5 version of the plugin is now available in the wordpress.org repository as a beta release. This is primarily a fix and feature release, with some of the new features being “experimental” for full use in 3.4.0.

You can get the beta version from the wordpress.org repository by going to https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-members/advanced/ and selecting “Development Version” from the dropdown selector in the “Advanced Options” section.

Another simple way to load the beta version is to use WP CLI. Use the command wp plugin update wp-members --version=trunk.  There are no database changes in this version, so if you need to roll back, you can use the command wp plugin update wp-members --version=3.3.4.3

You can also get it on github. Note that the github version is always the “bleeding edge” update and may include updates (including debugging changes) so at any given time it may differ from the version on wordpress.org as official beta.

Here is an overview of what’s in this version: Continue Reading →

WP-Members Download Protect 1.6.0 Released

The WP-Members Download Protect extension received an update today, version 1.6.0.

This release adds WP CLI commands that can be used for file management.  Note that the commands are currently considered an experimental feature, so there may be some minor changes in future releases, with the full feature being set in version 2.0.0.  But I wanted to get this release out because I know there are users who have need for one of the new commands – move which can be used to move existing files in bulk when setting up a new install of the Download Protect extension.

The initial release of the CLI interface includes commands for the following:

  • list – lists all files in Download Protect, or all file mime types that the CLI “move” command can move.
  • move – moves all files or all files of a specified mime type (such as “application/pdf”). Use the “list” command to get a list of available mime types in WP. This command also includes the “dry-run” option.
  • rename – renames a file by a given ID.
  • delete – can delete a single file by ID or all files in Download Protect.

For more detail on each command, see the plugin documentation. Inline help is available in the WP CLI interface with the --help option for each command.

Bulk move of files in media folder to Download Protect directory

· ·

One question that comes up from time-to-time is how to move files from the media folder to the download protect folder (which is a subfolder in the WP /uploads/ directory).  The usual answer is “you can’t.”

However, sometimes we run across a user that has 100s (or more) existing files that they want to move into the protected directory. So I have written a command line script that will process a bulk move for you.
