Thank you very much for your reply. I have upgraded to WP-Members 2.7.2 and the problem is solved.

Hi Chad
Thanks a lot for the quick answer. It indeed seems to be a compatibility problem with another plugin. I made a fresh wp install with the wp members plugin and all works fine now. I’ll add the other plugins one by one and then I’ll see when problems will arise. I’ve got the “user role editor” plugin running. Wp members works fine with that one…
Thanks and cheers

Hi Richard – I looked at it in IE, FF, and Chrome and I’m not seeing the problem. Could you email me a screenshot and indicate which plugin version and what WP version?

Thanks!

It is never a good idea to be editing plugin files directly. Obviously, in some instances, you might have to if a plugin is not longer supported. But it is generally a very bad idea to get into this habit. If you make a direct change to a file in a plugin, that change will be overwritten when you upgrade the plugin. When upgrades are available, it is a good rule of thumb to upgrade. (NOTE: it is also a good rule to test an upgrade in a testing environment before upgrading a live site.) When a plugin is upgraded it is generally fixing something. What version of the plugin are you using? The problem you are describing was limited to the 2.7.1 release and was fixed in 2.7.2. So if you are using 2.7.1, you just need to upgrade. If you are using 2.7.2, you need to let me know so we can look into why this is a problem. I do like your solution and although the fix is already in place, it's similar to a direction that I considered. I may still change it completely. However, the problem isn't exactly because "if the check box is unchecked; it sends the value="0"." It actually sends and empty value ''. In php, comparison operators can be a little tricky. The problem is that using "is equal to", '' == 0 is true. But these are not identical because 0 is an integer and '' is not. So I probably should have used the comparison operator "is identical to" or ===. This would have been false because '' === 0 is false as they are not of the same type (unlike '' == 0, where type does not matter). Hope that makes sense.

Hi Chad,

Not sure if you remember, but I discussed a text parser issue in another thread back in Oct 2011. If you look at the ‘forgot password’ and ‘new user’ texts here you’ll see what I mean:
http://www.mildnervillorna.se/?page_id=37

At least you’ll see it if you’re using IE9, it doesn’t appear in Chrome and Firefox. Anyway, last time the problem went away when I upgraded to WP-members version 2.6.4.

Now, I recently moved some of my webs to a different web hotel and then the problem reappeared. Didn’t change anything, just moved the web. I’ve now upgraded to latest version of WP and WP-members, but as you can see the problem is still there.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi, thank you very much for the WP-Members plug-in. I plan to use it for a site to display primium content only for the members. While learning the plug-in, i checked “Holds new registrations for admin approval” option at Manage Options. But then whenever i tried to edit a user and update User, without checking the check box “Deactivate this user?” option turned to “Reactivate this user?” and “Activated?” area of the user turned to “No”. I looked at the file wp-members-admin.php. I found out that if the check box is unchecked; it sends the value=”0″ which is the value which has to be send when “Deactivate this user?” is checked. So “Deactivate this user?” always sends the checked value whether it’s checked or not. To fix this i have made 2 little changes at wp-members-admin.php
$label = __( ‘Deactivate this user?’, ‘wp-members’ );
$action = 2; //$action = 1; to$action = 2; at line 118
break;
and
elseif( $wpmem_activate_user == 2 ) {//$wpmem_activate_user == 1 to $wpmem_activate_user == 2 at line 168
wpmem_a_deactivate_user( $user_id );
}
I didn’t define anything for the case $wpmem_activate_user == 0 because if the check box is unchecked everyting should stay the way it was.
I tested it carefully and it works very well now. Since i am very new to php and WordPress, i am not sure if i did something wrong. But i like to think as long as it’s work it should be fine. Maybe there is a better way to fix this but unfortunatelly i could not figure it out by myself If there is a better way, i would like to know about it and correct my code.

First, you should double check to make sure there is content in the email tab for the plugin. If for some reason this did not load at install, you will need to add it. (See this post for more information.) If email's were being sent before, it is possible that this is your problem. It could be that when you upgraded, the default content for the emails did not load properly. If that's not the case, I would next suggest using an SMTP email plugin such as WP Mail SMTP.
