This code snippet is an extension of the email users when a new post is published snippet. Like that snippet, this one comes from user requests.
The difference here is that we will only email users who have requested specifically to be notified of new posts, and we’ll allow them to opt-out of that process at a later date by updating their profile. Continue Reading →

The WP-Members plugin does not exercise any control over WordPress native fields as far as removing them from the User Profile. The plugin only determines if you are using these in the front-end elements of the plugin (such as front-side registration and front-side user profile).

Here is a script idea you can use to validate a stored value that you might have for users (such as a PIN) against their registration data. This example will assume that you only want to allow certain registrations for people who you already have data on (in this example, their name) and you want to validate that the user registering is that person. This example will use PIN assigned to the user’s data that we have and the script will validate the PIN provided at registration or will halt registration. Continue Reading →
