WP-Members 2.1 coming soon!
This is the next step in the move toward the 2.1 release of WP-Members. The previous alpha release started the core of the admin functions. In addition, I am adding a few couple new features.
The members page now includes a password reset option. The user is required to enter the correct username/email combination, then a new random password is set and emailed to the user.
The ability to block pages has been added. As always, posts are blocked by default, and can be unblocked by setting a custom field of ‘unblock.’ Pages are set up …
WP-Members Forum Now Available
To assist in the support of the WP-Members plugin, I have added a support forum at http://butlerblog.com/wp-members/forums/.
This forum is linked up with the demo version of WP-Members that is running on this site. That was one of the key reasons I did the major rebuild of the plugin to begin with - to tie in to other apps/plugins that utilize the users table in the WP database. Since the demo version of the plugin and the forum are linked, I removed most of the default required fields in the registration. You can register here and be able to …
WP-Members 2.1.a Alpha Release
I’ve been working on WP-Members in a furious fashion this week/weekend. As I’ve already posted, I did release 2.0.1 that fixed the known bugs in the 2.0 release.

This was present in 1.x versions, but since 2.0 changed to using native the WP user table, I needed to completely change the admin features in WP-Members.
This alpha release should be stable. It currently only adds two new functions into the script. These add the extra fields that are used in WP-Members …
WP-Members bug fix release and Quick Start Guide
I am releasing a 2.0.1 version of the WP-Members plugin. This fixes the bugs that were in the previous 2.0 release. This version was tested on the new WordPress 2.1.3 and it works swimmingly!
I also created a “Quick Start Guide” to get new users up and running. This guide is available in PDF format and will walk a new user step-by-step through a basic setup of the plugin. It is geared to the complete novice and does not require any HTML or PHP knowledge whatsoever. It does assume that you are using a version of …
WP-Members Update
I have been incredibly busy this summer with a number of projects so unfortunately, WP-Members has suffered. When I came back from vacation, there were quite a few unaddressed issues in the comments. I will be looking into those issues and will be releasing at minimum a version with bug fixes and, if I can find the time, some additional features that are on my list.
