Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_User::exists()

    I’m trying to add membership features to an older site. Because it states in the wordpress.org s2Member plugin page that it ‘Requires: 3.3 or higher’, I upgraded the site from WP 3.2.1 to 3.3. That went without a hitch, but then, when I tried to add a user in the admin, I got this error message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_User::exists() in /home/domain_name/public_html/wp-content/plugins/s2member/includes/classes/access-cap-times.inc.php on line 61

    I looked up WP_User in the codex, and it shows that the exists() method exists since WP 3.4. Here’s the codex article: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User#exists.28.29

    So now I have to upgrade the site to WP 3.4 perhaps. But before I do that, I want to be sure that WP 3.4 will be enough. Can a developer confirm that WP 3.4 will work, or does it have to be a more recent WP version?

    I know I can remove all doubt by upgrading to WP 3.9.1, but I cannot do that because it’s likely to break the theme.

    thanks

    Since no else did, I’ll follow up my own question. After updating the site in question to WP 3.4, s2member *seems* to work. That doesn’t guarantee it’s working in every area, of course, but since I established it doesn’t work with WP 3.3, it would be *nice* if the developers updated the plugin to say that it requires WP 3.4.

    I’m not marking this resolved yet, so developers still have a chance to respond to my comments.

    Ok, I give up. Nobody wants to change Requires 3.3 or higher to 3.4 or higher. Might as well mark it resolved.
