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.

WP-Members 3.4.7 is now available. This release continues the improvements slated for 3.4 moving the plugin forward towards a smooth transition into 3.5.

This is mostly a code improvement release, along with some additional API functions and a few minor new features.

Remember that the legacy password reset (requiring both username and email) will be fully obsolete in 3.5, so upgrade if you have not already done so.
