This is one of those odd things that slips through quality control before a full release package. There is an artifact in the code that was there for debugging a new feature and this inadvertently made it into the production version. Continue Reading →

WP-Members 2.8.2 Error When Saving Post or Page

Chad Butler · Apr 25, 2013 ·

If you are running WordPress in debug mode or you have PHP set to display all notices and warnings, you may get an error when saving a post or a page with WP-Members 2.8.2. This is the result of a typo that slipped through quality control before this version was released.

The error has already been corrected in the 2.8.3 project package, but since that is not out yet, you can easily apply the fix as follows: Continue Reading →

WP-Members 2.8.2 User Table Column Error Patch

Chad Butler · Apr 24, 2013 ·

The first issue with WP-Members 2.8.2 seems to be in the new features in the Users Table (“All Users” in your WP Admin). This new version allows you to add WP-Members custom fields as columns in the Users Table. However, there seem to be a couple of issues with the new code. Continue Reading →

WP-Members 2.8.1 str_getcsv patch

Chad Butler · Feb 1, 2013 ·

An improvement to the dropdown capability for the custom field manager in WP-Members 2.8.1 actually has an incompatibility for users with php less than 5.3. While I will patch this for the 2.8.2 release, you can apply the patch for 2.8.1 with these instructions.

Note: if you are using PHP 5.3 or greater, this patch is unnecessary. If you are having issues with the dropdown, it is not likely related to this.

Open the wp-members file /admin/tab-fields.php in the plugin editor (Plugins > Editor in the admin menu).
Search for this line (line# 206):
```
$arr[7] = str_getcsv( $str, ',', '"' );
```
change that line to the following:
```
$arr[7] = explode( ',', $str );
```
Save this change.

Note: you will not be able to use commas in your values

WP-Members 2.8.1 shortcode patch

Chad Butler · Jan 16, 2013 ·

I am always nervous about releasing updates to the plugin because in the back of my mind I am wondering what element slipped through the cracks. The 2.8.1 release was no exception.

WP-Members 2.8.1 made it out the door with a small error related to the new “user-profile” shortcode.

The problem was with the logic in line 208 of wp-members-core.php:

$page = ( 'user-profile' ) ? 'members-area' : $page;

This would actually always return true, which would mean that all shortcodes using the “page” parameter would be members-area pages. So register and login pages, while still being able to provide their core function, wouldn’t be working quite the way they should since they would have both the login and registration forms in the logged out state and wouldn’t have the correct links in the logged in state.

The fix (which has been implemented in the download already) is to change line 208 of wp-members-core.php to:

$page = ( $page == 'user-profile' ) ? 'members-area' : $page;
