WP-Members version 3.5.2 has been released with a number of bug fixes and improvements. Some of the bug fixes were reported by users, while a couple of others were bugs that no one noticed (or at least said anything about), but were found when testing the other bug fixes.

The code improvements came while I was working on debugging an exhausted memory issue for some users that I simply could not duplicate (at first). Once I figured out what that was, I was able to fix it, but some other code got improved along the way for a lighter overall plugin where possible.

WP-Members 3.5.0 was released last week as a major update. This version had substantial changes and improves features, options, security, and a host of other things. It further integrates with WooCommerce in ways that the previous builds did not. It allows direct control over what fields display in the registration form versus the profile update form without having to customize.

There were a few bugs in the original update. All reported bugs have been addressed and fixed, along with a couple that I found while addressing reported issues. All of those have been packaged into the 3.5.1 version which is now released.

Fields tab in the admin does not save in WP 6.7

· ·

In WP 6.7, the admin Fields tab does not save changes in the table view (it does in the individual field view). Clicking the “apply” button for saving changes appears to not work.

I was able to track this down to a specific change in the WP List Table object class in version 6.7.

I will be working on a more “official” fix for this and including it in the plugin. However, until then, there is a patch available. You can replace the file wp-members/includes/admin/tabs/class-wp-members-admin-tab-fields.php with the version at the gist below:

https://gist.github.com/rocketgeek/2bb08a8649cf1f273c6354b12ed93e1a

More specific info on the bug

The plugin uses the WP List Table object class (as do many plugins) to build the tables it displays such as in the Fields tab. The change in WP 6.7 makes a change to the bulk actions “Apply” button, which is something that is hard-coded in the object (cannot be filtered) and there is a change in the core WP admin JavaScript that does not allow the button to submit until an item is selected.

The problem for WP-Members is that it doesn’t use the “cb” checkbox (the unlabeled column of checkboxes in the first/leftmost column) to identify the rows to save. That checkbox is only used for deletion. WP seems to have made this change to prevent the button from submitting if no rows are selected in the Posts > All Posts screen. But this change causes a problem for the WP-Members Fields tab.

For now, I recommend applying the patch listed at the gist link above. This will work fine, and it may end up being the “official” change. However, I am working to learn more about the change and am working to determine what the best possible fix is. Regardless, you will only need to apply the patch to the current version (3.4.9.x) as any “official” fix will be incorporated into whatever the next production release is (currently slated to be 3.5.0 by the end of this month).

If you discover any additional information regarding this issue, please notify me via the support contact page.
