I am finally ready to release WP-Members™ version 2.5.0 as a production release. This release represents many months of work moving from version 2.3.2. There are many new features, and as such, it required a lot of testing and debugging. As this plugin has grown in features, it has also grown in complexity. This makes each new release much more complicated than before, as I try to make sure that as many upgrade scenarios are accounted for.
Here is a list of changes since 2.3.2:
New Features
- added reCAPTCHA support for registration
- added Terms of Service (TOS) checkbox and popup
- added shortcode support for members area and register pages
- added custom user management panel for bulk user edits
- added user list export
- localization support (beginning)
- contextual help in admin panels (beginning)
- added shortcode support for login only page
- added support for checkboxes in the registration fields
- added setting for members area/settings page url (so we can have “forgot password” link anywhere)
- added a “change your password” link in the email if members area/settings page url is set
Code Improvements
- updated the registration process so that unused fields are not put into the user_meta table
- updated emails for moderated registration to send user the url they signed up on
- capture user’s IP address at registration
- sets logged in admin as activated (prevents admin from accidentally being locked out)
- added toggle to force clean install of settings
- improvements to uninstall process
Bug Fixes
- added stripslashes to dialogs (accommodates the use of apostrophes/quotation marks)
- fixed sidebar login for non-widget use (bug from 2.3.x)
- corrected a bug introduced in the 2.3.x widget update that caused the widget to be undraggable in certain instances
Please help me
you mentioned. we can have “forgot password” link anywhere. but how to implement that on a particular page? or what would be the page url?
Thanks
emon – I should be more specific. The “forgot password” link will show below the login form in the page body if you have specified the location of the members area/settings page in the plugin options. (In the next release, scheduled as 2.5.1, this will also show in the sidebar widget as well as having the addition of a register link.)
