Pluggable Functions

Similar to WordPress, WP-Members has pluggable functions. This allows you to replace a function in the plugin without modifying the plugin’s core code, a bad practice that makes upgrading difficult. Using pluggable functions for customizations makes upgrading easier, since your custom functions are maintained outside of the plugin’s files and are not overwritten when you upgrade.

It should be noted that even using pluggable functions, you can break the plugin. You should pay careful attention to the original function(s) and what they are doing. Also, when you upgrade, you should review the upgrade’s changes/updates and checked your custom functions to see if there are any compatibility issues to be addressed. If there have been changes to a function you are maintaining a custom version of, you should carefully review to see if you need to update your customization.

Here is list of pluggable functions found in the plugin:

WP-Members 2.7.6 release

Chad Butler · Aug 9, 2012 ·

Some exciting updates in this release:

Added ability to use same redirect_to querystring that WP uses in the wp-login form. This allows more seamless replacement of the wp-login.
Added a new page shortcode for password reset/change [[wp-members page=”password”]]. If the user is logged out, it works the reset forgotten password functionality. If the user is logged in, it will offer the change password functionality. These functions do also remain in the members-area page shortcode as well, but now can be placed in a stand-alone location as well.
Added a new page shortcode for the user edit page [[wp-members page=”user-edit”]]. This needs to be used if the user is logged in and can be used with the login status shortcode.
Removed $content global from the page shortcode function. This should correct the double form issue when used with plugins/themes that filter $content.
Added do_shortcode to the page shortcode call. This should allow the page shortcodes to be used in conjuction with other shortcodes on the page (although this is not necessarily recommended).
Added translations for Russian, Slovak, and Hindi.
Moved _OLD forms to wp-members-deprecated.php. These forms can still be used, but will be deprecated in a future version. It is highly recommended that users still using legacy forms begin converting to the _NEW forms.

The addition of redirect_to to the login form gives users the ability to seamlessly replace the wp-login with the login_enqueue_scripts action. There’s an example of how to set this up here.

The reworking of shortcodes and the addition of some new ones allows more flexibility with the shortcodes than in the past. It allows for the use of more than one of the “page” shortcodes on a single page, allows for nested shortcodes (such as putting page shortcodes within the logged in/out status shortcodes). In my opinion, this is probably the most powerful update in this release.

The new shortcodes break out some of the functions of the members-area page to be used separately as needed/desired.

Redirect requests to wp-login to a front end login page

Chad Butler · Aug 8, 2012 ·

Note: If you want an easy way to do this, the Advanced Options extension offers this as a setting. But if you need more control over the process than a simple “on/off” switch, the method described here is a flexible and customizable alternative.

The new version of WP-Members 2.7.6 adds a method of picking up the redirect_to parameter. This allows you to make redirecting from the wp-login more seamless, since the wp-login is designed to redirect the user back to where their login was requests (such as comments or a forum).
