• Fixed legacy form password reset bug

Improvements

2.6.0

This version is a feature release that also includes some rebuilt functions and other code improvements.

New Features:

• Front-end now uses enqueue_style to load CSS, so advanced users can directly load their own styles for the plugin without using the plugin settings.
• Improved use of shortcodes. Old-style HTML comment shortcodes will continue to work in certain instances, but will no longer be supported in future versions. Upgrade to the new shortcodes. Major rewrite of the way WP-Members handles the_content() so that it will return a value rather than echo it. Working to better integrate with other shortcodes so they are propery parsed. New WP-Members shortcodes will added in future versions.
• Registration fields can now be customized via the admin panel. This includes adding new fields and deleting non-native fields, and also changing the field order.

Code Improvements

• eliminated unused globals
• updated certain functions to use more up-to-date native WP functions.
• core now checks to see if the action variable 'a' is set before requesting it.
• wpmem_securify now scans for 'more' tag so that it will not truncate if the work "more" exists in the excerpt.
• updated email validation/error message to registration process to use is_email().

2.5.4

This is a bug fix release. 2.5.3 introduced a bug where the random password sent to a new user was invalid. While the fix is simple, the nature of the bug related to the functionality of the plugin dictates a full update so that users unaware of the bug will be notified via their WP admin panel.

2.5.3

This is primarily a bug fix release.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed reCAPTCHA from trying to validate on the User Edit page even though reCAPTCHA is not used on this page.
• Added validation to change password page to not allow double empty fields.
• Added additional username validation to prevent invalid (non-alphanumeric) characters in the username.
• Fixed comments reply link which did not allow a registered user to reply on an unblocked page/post.

Other changes:

• Rebuild of registration function
• Review of comments process
• Added stripslashes to front-end user registration validation

2.5.2

This is predominately a release of fixes and improvements:

• Fixed the admin menus so that the user menu isn't open by default.
• Fixed the "ignore warning messages" that was broken in 2.5.1.
• Corrected the CAPTCHA to not show up on members settings update.
• Plugin checks to see if the reCAPTCHA library is already loaded to be compatible with other reCAPTCHA plugins.
• Fixed activate user function for bulk activation - checks to see if the user is already activated and if so, skips that user so we don't accidentally activate users that are already activated in bulk mode, thus resetting their passwords.
• Updated login process to use wp_signon (wp_login is deprecated).
• Updated sidebar widget include a new css class #wp-members .err for login error message
• Updated sidebar widget to use the appropriate <li> tag into the sidebar area. This should only be a factor for users that customized css. In this case, you'll need to update your stylesheet for ID #wpmem_login_side to #wp-members.
• Updated the sidebar login to better direct the user upon successful login (previously working fine on individual posts and pages, but not on categories).
• Strictly Experimental - Introducing pluggable functions - laying the ground work, won't be official yet, so some functions may be deprecated and/or modified.

Also, the error/dialog messages can now be managed from with the admin panel as well.
