Version 2.2.5 of the WP-Members Advanced Options has been released. This package includes a couple of key updates:

First, this package addresses a couple of nagging issues with the duplicate emails functionality that allows users to register using an email that is already registered in WP. The functionality had been addressed in previous updates, but there were some isolated instances where this was still a problem.

In researching the users with ongoing issues, it turns out to be a problem when the core plugin has the confirmation link setting enabled. This changes when and how the plugin actions are fired.

That problem is addressed and fixed in this update.

The other updates include a general review and improvement of code as well as the removal of some deprecated functions in WP-Members (such as wpmem_inc_regmessage()), so this update requires that you be running WP-Members 3.4 or higher.

An update to the WP-Members Download Protect extension was released today. This update includes a bug fix for the search table, a bug fix and improvement to the exclusions in the settings array, and some code cleanup and syntax improvements.

The User Tracking extension has received an update and this was pushed out to production this morning. The new version is 1.4.5 and it includes a number of updates.

  • Fixes a bug that causes an invalid page link when clicking a individual user. Previous versions were pointing to users.php. This version corrects it to index.php. All previous versions have this bug and should update.
  • Updates to load default settings if no settings are loaded. This is particularly for initial activation and setup in production systems where debugging is enabled. If no previous settings were saved, it would display undefined variable notices. This is more of an annoyance than a bug, but never-the-less, it is corrected in this update.
  • Updates to replace wpmem_create_formfield() with wpmem_form_field(). The former is an older, obsolete function in WP-Members core. That function will be completely obsolete in future versions of WP-Members starting with 3.5.0, which is due out this month. You’ll need to update User Tracking to 1.4.5 to be compatible with WP-Members 3.5.0 going forward. (It will remain compatible with earlier versions of WP-Members).

Restrict a post or a page to a specific user role

· ·

While the core plugin restricts posts to logged in users, and can also create memberships for other types of restriction, sometimes you may wish to restrict content to a user role.

This custom code snippet can be copy-pasted to wherever you store custom code and will add a list of roles to the WP-Members restriction meta box in the post editor, and then will restrict the content based on those roles.

Note that this functionality is included in the WP-Members Advanced Options extension.
