I have been done with the 2.0 release for some time now, but haven’t had the time to finish final testing (mostly of the installation process), put together the readme file, and get it uploaded. I know there are a lot of people that have been waiting for this release so I sincerely hope it meets (and exceeds) expectations.
2.0 is a quantum leap forward for the plugin and involved a ground up rebuild. There were a lot of quick fixes and work arounds in the 1.x releases and I never got it to be what I really wanted in the beginning. Also, usage got to be too tricky for basic, non-techie WP users. I wanted an easy to install product that would meet the needs of the most basic WP user.
We are getting much closer to that goal with this release. Not all the features I want to eventually include are in this version, but it is close. One thing that is lacking (and will be completed in the 2.1 update) is admin functions. However, this is not too critical for user managment since we have moved to using the WP users tables rather than building our own.
That brings up another important point. If you are upgrading, you are going to have to move existing users from the WP-Members™ tables to WP users tables. I am finishing up a migration script at this point, so if you are upgrading rather than doing a clean install, you might want to wait for that.

hi there, thx for the plugin!!!
it works great until i tried to test on the NEW USER REGISTRATION………
the confirmation email sent to my mailbox with BLANK PASSWORD, so…i cannot register successfully.
by the way, is it possible to use the WP registration form instead?
Nice plugin but the confirmation email got blank password any sugestiob to fixed it ?
Just found a bug in new user registration that needs a simple line change to work correctly.
In function:
wpmem_inc_regemail($user_id, $password)
Line 1022:
$body.= “password: $$plaintext_pass\r\n\r\n”;
Should be changed to:
$body.= “password: $password\r\n\r\n”;
Without this change, in the registration email, newly registered users receive a $ where the automatically generated password should be.
For the page with the slug “members-area” to work allowing members to edit their password and information when logged in, you must put in the page content area. My form was not showing up when members were logged in because I put in the page content area, but did not include the “!”. You must include the “!” for it to work. I hope this helps.
Hello, I was wondering how to protect pages? Also is it possible to add a register link to the widget? Check out ajax login plugin. That widget works well but doesnt block content. You guys should team up. You both have what the other needs. Thanks D
I have upgraded from 1.8 to 2.0 but also upgraded to WordPress 2.3.1
Although I can login, I can no longer see the users fields such as Country (which is very necessary for me).
I also tried to test register as a NEW USER but it insists on giving me an error message of “Sorry, that email address already has an account, please try another”.
I will try in on a different IP address later.
Will this be updated so I can see / edit all the user fields such as Country and Tel, etc.? This software was so helpful but I can’t role back to an old WP version …
Thanks.
Thanks everyone for the comments. Unfortunately, I have been so tied up, I have not had anytime to spend on this plugin.
I have fixed a couple of things today, the most important of which would be the password in the email. Several of you mentioned this and I thank you for pointing it out.
Also, the sql for looking for duplicate email addresses has been corrected.
Thanks again!
I noticed that when members sign up on my page, it does not specify a role (subscribe, contributor, etc.). So I would have to go in and change it manually. My wordpress settings are set so new users role set to contributor, but user registration using the plugin does not specify a role. How can this be fixed?
