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.

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.

I am normally hesitant to publicly release anything that is not an actual production version, so it is rare that I release beta versions of the plugin to the general public. It is rarer still that I release an alpha version. However, in the case of the WP-Members Subscription Module with PayPal Integration, there are a number of reasons why (1) I am releasing it and (2) I am labeling it as an alpha release.
