 * New installation of the plugin on wp 2.8.5, when i go to general settings the
   settings are wrong, i mean for example in spite of the blog url there portion
   of php code, same for other field and same in the member admin list. Any idea?

 * What version of the plugin do you have installed? What do you mean by “General
   Settings”? What other field? Do you mean “instead of” as opposed to “in spite
   of”? What is the php code you’re seeing? Can you paste it here as well as any
   errors you are receiving?

 * Yes, i have the same problem. Plugin was broken in 2.8.5 and it still broken 
   in 2.8.6
 * In the settings of the plugin i see PHP code in inputs instead the string that
   should be in the inputs.
 * For example: In: “URL for your members page” in the input to the right i see 
   this: `<?=$o['url'];?>`, In the “Meta fields to search by” in the input to the
   right i see this: `<?=$o['meta'];?>`

 * It’s working ok. Just don’t use on localhost. Problem solved. Great plugin!

 * Thanks Vladart. How did you install the plugin? FTP or WordPress’ built in plugin
   updater?

 * I am working locally on 2.8.6 version and I have exactly the problem described
   by Vladart.
 * “In: “URL for your members page” in the input to the right i see this: <?=$o[‘
   url’];?>”
 * and so on…
 * Don’t know how to solve the problem, but if you need more information just ask
   me, I would be glad to help
 * I am using XAMPP Lite 1.7.2 with PHP Version 5.3.0.

 * It seems like your local versions of PHP don’t like the syntax “<?=”. I imagine
   that is the issue.
 * Try changing line 224 from this:
    <input type=”text” name=”url” class=”regular-
   text” value=”<?=$o[‘url’];?>” />
 * to this:
    <input type=”text” name=”url” class=”regular-text” value=”<?php echo
   $o[‘url’]; ?>” />
 * Let me know if that solves the issue. If it does it must be a setting localized
   on your machine. Try altering the syntax before I decide whether I wish to research
   what setting might be accountable for the issue.
 * Regardless I will take this into consideration when I’m writing in the future.
   I personally don’t run PHP locally. I test all my work on my remote server. Maybe
   it’s time to make a change.
 * Thanks for the heads up guys.

 * yes! now it works, for that input the text shown is correct

 * I did a search/replace of all
 * <?=
 * with
 * <?php echo
 * and now all text in admin seems working

 * Excellent. marcoragogna, thank you for doing that work. My best guess is that
   a setting on your localhost doesn’t like the syntax. I will keep this in mind
   programming in the future.
 * Thanks again guys for the heads up.

 * The problem is that some version of php, i’m using php 5.2.5 on a webserver with
   win2003 and on localhost with XP pro and php 5.2.5, require that you input php
   code in this way:
    <?php … ?> and not <? … ?>, if you input the code in 2 way
   the php is simply not interpreted. So is not a problem of localhost but the version
   of the php you are using and the OS you are running.

 * I modified the plugin and now it works both on localhost and on the server, find
   <?= and replace with <?php echo, that is…
