The WP-Members Security extension was updated to version 1.6.5. This version is primarily a fix for a new feature in core WP along with some code improvement following an audit.
WordPress 6.9 introduced a new feature into the password strength meter that is used by WP-Members Security. It is a javascript notice that indicates if the caps lock is on when you are typing a password. Because this is new, WP-Members Security did not have any styling for the icon and message, which was rendering full size. This update corrects that, as well as setting the initial display to “none” so that it is hidden on page load.
This update also improves the settings subtabs in the admin to inherit their colors from the WP admin color scheme. Other WP-Members extensions will be receiving this change eventually as well. This improves the colors, especially when used with WordPress 7.0.
New translation notes were added to the code and pot file where variables exist in the translatable string. This will make it easier to know how to appropriately translate the string.
Because of certain core WP functions used by the plugin, the minimum WP version has been raised to 5.9. The plugin has been fully tested on WordPress 7.
Other code improvements were implemented to make the plugin run smoother and securely.
