The final production release of WP-Members 2.8.0 went out with a small bug in the auto excerpt feature. This causes the default (more…) link to show on every post, even when the auto excerpt feature is not enabled.

A patch has been applied to the responsitory download already. However, the first 800 or so downloads of the upgrade contain the bug.

Fixing the issue is relatively simple, so you can either apply the fix yourself, download the corrected file from here or the subversion repository, or redownload the plugin and reinstall.

If you want to apply the fix yourself, you need to change line 970 of wp-members-core.php from this:

if( ! $more ) {

to this:

if( ! $more && ( $arr['auto_ex'] == true ) ) {

2.8.0 has been updated in the repository here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-members/developers/

You can download the entire zip, or select svn to go to the subversion responsitory and download just wp-members-core.php.

WP-Members MailChimp Integration Add-on Released

Chad Butler · Dec 18, 2012 ·

The MailChimp Integration Add-on Module has been released in beta. The package can be downloaded from the add-ons page.

It is important to note that this module is only compatible with the new WP-Members 2.8.0 version. 2.8 is presently a beta release, but the current release candidate is pretty close to the final production release. The reason for this is that the module has some settings tied into the plugin’s options and 2.8 introduces a new admin panel, so it could not be integrated with 2.7.7 and earlier.

If you cannot upgrade WP-Members, you can still integrate using the various hooks in the plugin.

Add password and email confirmation to the registration process

Chad Butler · Dec 12, 2012 ·

NOTE: As of plugin version 2.9.3, password, password confirm, and email confirm fields are included in the plugin’s default fields. All you need to do is enable them. Everything described in this post is now integrated into the plugin.

Some users like to have a confirmation process in their registration. For example, having two email fields and comparing to make sure the user properly entered their email address. This code snippet will show you how you can quickly add this feature with the addition of some custom fields in your form.
