WP-Members 2.9 Project

With most of the work for WP-Members 2.8 project behind us, it is time to start thinking about 2.9.  This update will focus on rebuilding the forms and the registration and login functions.  There may also be some changes to the wpmem_securify and shortcode pages to extend their functionality.

The challenge with form redesign is that there are many people making use of the wpmem_register_form and wpmem_login_form filters that rely on the HTML being constructed in a certain way.  Essentially, depending on what a filter function does, a change in tabs and line breaks in the HTML can break a filter.  Continue Reading →

Automatically clone theme menu location to display different menus based on login status

One of the most common questions that I receive is how to display menu items based on login status.  Because there truly are several answers with multiple options, it an become a little confusing, even to more advanced users.  It really boils down to how to you want to construct your site and how do you want things to work?

I have provided different methods of doing this in the past, but that was often difficult for some users because you really needed to understand how to set up a child theme and do theme customizations appropriately.  That is not easily within reach of all users.

So I have put together a plugin extension to make this process more automatic.  Now you can handle everything through the WP Menus admin panel.  It will automatically clone any menu areas of your theme, thus providing you with the ability to serve different menus for those menu areas based on whether a user is logged in or not.

Add a custom tab to the WP-Members admin panel to send test emails to the administrator

I had a user request some time ago to allow the plugin to send test emails to the administrator so that so a site owner could test both email functionality and view the content of each email without going through the hassle of doing a test registration each time.  I thought that sounded like a great idea.

This was originally offered to users as a code snippet, but has since grown into an extension package for the plugin.  The extension will add a tab to the WP-Members admin panel where you can ask the plugin to send test emails to you for review.  Continue Reading →
