WP-Members 2.8.2 final release

Feature Updates

  • Added WP user fields user_nicename, display_name, and nickname to the $fields array, defaults to $username for backward compatibility.
  • Updated field manager process to allow user_nicename, display_name, and nickname to be added via the fields manager as WP native fields
  • Added wpmem_register_data filter for $fields to allow filtering of all fields prior to new user insertion, including above new fields (added updates to registration function to make better use of the filter).
  • Added wpmem_pre_validate_form for $fields to allow filtering fields prior to default form field validation.
  • Begin implementation of moving bulk user management features into Users > All Users. Users > All Users screen can now activate and export users, and will show additional fields as selected in the fields manager. 
  • Added wpmem_admin_profile_heading, wpmem_admin_profile_field, and wpmem_admin_profile_update filters. These filters are all part of the user profile section.

Fixes, Patches, & Code Improvements

  • Fixed the conversion of update-profile to members-area shortcode. The bug renders all page shortcodes as members-area.
  • Fixed the activate user process for user defined passwords, a bug from 2.8.0/2.8.1.
  • Fixed a bug that can cause the sidebar login widget to not post to the correct url when a static front page is used.
  • Fixed user profile update (updates with custom checkbox don’t stay checked), an issue from 2.8.0.
  • Patch correcting the front-side registration form nonce. This patch should improve reliability while still using nonces for security.
  • Patch for the dropdown field for users running < PHP 5.3.
  • Made front-side nonce optional, defaults to off.
  • Moved utility functions out of core.php to utility file utilities.php.
  • Moved the location of the wpmem_email_notify hook so the filter comes after shortcodes are parsed.
  • Updated the registration function to rely on the values contain in $fields, allowing for the array values to be filtered.
  • Updated the registration form to accommodate registration function updates.
  • Improved auto excerpt function screens for unclosed common html tags and provides a closing tag if none exists.
  • Improved export process to wrap fields with double quotes – fixes issues if field contains a comma.
