WP-Members 3.1 contains some long awaited features, some fixes, and some improvements.
There are no changes to the database with this update so if you are currently at 3.0 or higher, you should be able to roll back without difficulty. (If you are using a version earlier than 3.0, there are changes from 2.x to 3.x that will be implemented in this update that would affect rolling back to 2.x. If that’s the case for you, you should test the update on a development system prior to upgrading.)
This version is currently available on GitHub as version 3.0.10. There will be no official 3.0.10 release on wordpress.org – this is merely a transitional release tag for building and testing leading into the official 3.1.0 release. The 3.0.10 is packaged and available for testing. The full production release of 3.1.0 will be available soon.
Here is a list of new features, improvements, and fixes: Continue Reading →
