While the WP-Members plugin is built to automatically replace blocked content with a login and registration form, sometimes it is necessary to redirect blocked content to a specific login page. This is generally the case with builder plugins (unless you refilter the content), or plugins that use post meta for displaying extra content, such as WooCommerce, Calendar/Event plugins, etc.

This post covers some a basic way to provide the same user experience as the default setup, but by redirecting the blocked content to a login page. Continue Reading →

WP-Members MailChimp Integration 2.0.5

Chad Butler · Aug 14, 2020 ·

This release of the MailChimp extension fixes two bugs in the plugin that may or may not affect you, depending on your plugin configuration.

First, it corrects a bug when using WP-Members moderated registration (where users need to be approved by an admin). The bug is that if a user does not check the subscribe checkbox, they are still added to the list when they are activated. This is now fixed.

Second, if you have more than 10 list (audience) IDs AND the list ID being used for the plugin is older, so that it appears at position 11 or later, you may potentially receive an invalid list ID error message when trying to update the plugin. This update changes the way the list ID is validated through the API to correct that problem.

WP-Members Memberships for WooCommerce 0.7.4 release

Chad Butler · Aug 12, 2020 ·

There has been an update to the WP-Members Memberships for WooCommerce extension. This is a bug fix release that corrects a problem with the renewal notification emails. All users should upgrade.

This release also adds the wpmem_wc_order_completed() API function that can be used to programatically complete an order. Additionally, the memberships view in the My Account screen was updated so that if you have a mix of expiring and non-expiring membership options, that the “renew” button doesn’t show for non-expiring memberships. Previously, the logic was an “all-or-none” approach, meaning that if you have one expiring membership, all would show the renew button, or not show it if there were was one non-expiring membership – basically, whichever came first. The new view logic corrects this problem.
