Version 2.2.5 of the WP-Members Advanced Options has been released. This package includes a couple of key updates:

First, this package addresses a couple of nagging issues with the duplicate emails functionality that allows users to register using an email that is already registered in WP. The functionality had been addressed in previous updates, but there were some isolated instances where this was still a problem.

In researching the users with ongoing issues, it turns out to be a problem when the core plugin has the confirmation link setting enabled. This changes when and how the plugin actions are fired.

That problem is addressed and fixed in this update.

The other updates include a general review and improvement of code as well as the removal of some deprecated functions in WP-Members (such as wpmem_inc_regmessage()), so this update requires that you be running WP-Members 3.4 or higher.

When desiring to approve users prior to completing a membership purchase, there are two general approaches:

Approval at Registration – in this approach, you restrict purchase of memberships to registered users only, and user registrations must be approved.
Approval of the Order – using this approach, the membership purchase process is generally the same as it normally would be – the user completes registration when they purchase a membership. However, the order is marked as completed manually by an admin (or shop manager) so the user does not get membership access until the order is completed.

Method 1 requires WP-Members Advanced Options, and WP-Members Memberships for WooCommerce. Method 2 requires WP-Members Memberships for WooCommerce, while WP-Members Advanced Options is optional.
