Note: as of WP-Members MailChimp Integration version 2.0, merge fields can be managed directly in the extension’s admin tab. This filter remains active and supported, but it is only generally needed for customizing the process if necessary rather than defining it.
This is an example of how to utilize the wpmem_mc_merge filter to add additional mail merge fields to sync with MailChimp. Continue Reading →

NOTE: As of plugin version 2.9.3, password, password confirm, and email confirm fields are included in the plugin’s default fields. All you need to do is enable them. Everything described in this post is now integrated into the plugin.
Some users like to have a confirmation process in their registration. For example, having two email fields and comparing to make sure the user properly entered their email address. This code snippet will show you how you can quickly add this feature with the addition of some custom fields in your form.

Depending on a number of factors, there may be places in your WordPress site where login and logout URLs are directing to the WordPress “backend” wp-login.php. These can be in the comments.php template or other places in your theme. Also, various plugins such as forums will utilize these urls.
This article will explain a simple way of redirecting these URLs to the login and registration pages set in WP-Members.
NOTE: The WP-Members Advanced Options extension has simple checkbox options to replace the native WP URLs for these actions with the WP-Members URLs.

This post will demonstrate how to restrict content to users based on user levels. Content could be restricted by category, by tag, or by some other meta (such as a custom field).
This example will demonstrate “level” restriction by category, such as Silver, Gold, and Platinum categories. In this example, we will set up those levels so that the Gold level users have access to Gold & Silver, and Platinum level users have access to all of the content.

WordPress does not allow for users to change their username, so neither does WP-Members. However, it does allow for the use of “display name” which is the name that is displayed on the site when showing users’ names. The default install of WP-Members does not make use of display name. In fact, by default, it adds the user’s username to this field so that it is not empty in the database, just in case you are using that information somewhere else on the site (such as in a forum).
But what if you want to make use of the display name field? How can you add that to the front-end user profile in WP-Members. This post will show you how to add it to the registration form (which by default includes the user update form), and then how to show it only in the user update form. Continue Reading →
