WP-Members 3.0 Early Testing

Chad Butler · May 12, 2015 ·

WP-Members 3.0 is nearing the testing stage. This update to the plugin is really exciting because I have been working on moving the plugin to be more Object Oriented.  The current version of the plugin is very extensible.  But I want to move that forward to be even more so.  The new Object Oriented approach and the new settings array is going to leverage the extensibility of the plugin to a fully customizable framework.

As usual, I want to update process to be seamless for existing users.

Because of the changes to the way the core settings are stored, this means lots of testing.  I am hoping there are users out there that are interested in testing out the new version.  Continue Reading →

Creating an optgroup tag in a dropdown list

Chad Butler · Apr 16, 2015 ·

Here is a slightly more advanced example of using the wpmem_register_form_rows filter to modify a form input element. In this case, we will take a regular dropdown select field and add the optgroup label tag to sections of it.

Note: for best results in understanding this customization, it is best to create a test field exactly as described in this example and using the example scripts as they are written.  Once you have it working, then you can move to creating this process for your specific field. Continue Reading →

Make MailChimp subscribe field a hidden field in the WP-Members registration form

Chad Butler · Mar 11, 2015 ·

Suppose you are using the WP-Members registration form essentially as an opt-in to your MailChimp list.  Essentially, you want anyone who fills out the form to be added to the MailChimp opt-in process.

This requires you to have the MailChimp extension installed and a subscribe field set up and configured.  This filter will take that field and make it a hidden field, essentially triggering the MailChimp opt-in process for all users. Continue Reading →
