I have been waiting a long time to finish and release WP-Members 3.0 and that day has finally come!
This is a major update and will be but the beginning of a lot of updates and improvements in the plugin.
Before I go into details for the update, please let me be clear – this is a major version release, not an incremental update. So please, test the update prior to upgrading a production site. While I always do my best to be responsive to issues, especially when updating, keep in mind this plugin now has more than 60,000 active installs, so it can get hectic around version release time.
When in doubt, test it first! And if you have questions, let me know.
