WP-Members 3.4.7

WP-Members 3.4.7 is now available. This release continues the improvements slated for 3.4 moving the plugin forward towards a smooth transition into 3.5.

This is mostly a code improvement release, along with some additional API functions and a few minor new features.

Remember that the legacy password reset (requiring both username and email) will be fully obsolete in 3.5, so upgrade if you have not already done so.

Code improvement

• Code improvement in the password reset function for situations where an error may result in an empty user object.
• Code improvement in REST API filtering of blocked content for situations where there may be additional (i.e. custom) values (such as those created by page builders).
• Code improvement in hidden posts checking in case the “post__not_in” query_var is not set.
• Code improvement to make sure required fields are required for the wp user profile, but allowable to be skipped by an admin.
• Code improvement to make sure all object variables are declared for PHP 8.2.
• WooCommerce functions moved into its own object class.

New features

• New field type: timestamp – saves date as a Unix timestamp, but can display as a regular date.
• wpmem_get_membership_id() – gets a membership database primary key ID
• wpmem_get_membership_slug() – gets a membership slug by ID
• wpmem_is_enabled() – checks if a WP-Members setting is enabled
• wpmem_remove_membership_from_post() – allows programmatically removing a membership requirement from a post (opposite of wpmem_add_membership_to_post() added in 3.4.6).
• wpmem_remove_membership_from_posts() – same as above, but handles an array of post IDs for multiple posts (opposite of wpmem_add_membership_to_posts() added in 3.4.6).
• [wpmem_user_memberships] shortcode – displays a user’s memberships (for the currently logged in user)
• [wpmem_user_membership_posts] shortcode – displays the membership restricted posts that a user has access to, grouped by membership (supports multiple memberships per user).
• Adds a “select all” checkbox option to several columns of the Fields tab.
• Adds a $previous data array when updating user fields, which will make it easier for filter functions to check for changes.
• Adds an option to make WooCommerce products marked as restricted to be not purchasable without being logged in or having an assigned membership.
