Blocking Custom Post Types
Note: As of WP-Members 3.0, you can add custom post types to the plugin’s main blocking options. See the options documentation section on Custom Post Types.
This is a new method of blocking custom post types. There are two main differences over the method described here and the original method.

Second, this method allows you to override the blocking value on an individual custom post type post than you have set for the custom post type as a group. This operates the same as regular posts and pages. It also takes advantage of the new extra settings that WP-Members version 3.0 offers.
(If you want to add a meta box for blocking/unblocking individual custom post type posts, there is an additional code snippet you can add here.) Continue Reading →

Request additional fields on user profile
Sometimes, you might want to have a limited set of fields during the registration process, but would still like additional fields available for the user to complete in the user profile. If these are not required fields, the process is relatively simple and can be completed with a single filter function.
