Unfortunately, I had to pull the plugin because I couldn’t take the chance of having my website down during business hours. However, I’ll give it a whirl this weekend.

First off, you have a fantastic plugin. There was some kind of problem with one of the 3.3 releases – I had just installed 3.3.5 when I discovered it. In talking to my hosting company they said that I had too many failed connection attempts – which locked my DB on my site – and then all of my sites! I just took care of it with a phone call to tech support, but it was harrowing. It sounds like the latest version started to hammer my server and shut me down.

In doing so, I noticed an error in the dashboard: * `Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in / home/ROOTNAME/public_html/WEBSITENAME/wp-content/plugins/register-plus/dash_widget. php on line 24` * Line 24 is: `extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );` * I found that changing this to: `if (is_array($args)) { extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP);}` * Fixed the problem. * Thanks again for your work on a truly fantastic plugin. * – H * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Paybox paypal subscription plugin – Have you tried it?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paybox-paypal-subscription-plugin-have-you-tried-it/) * Thread Starter [Haloscope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haloscope/) * (@haloscope) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paybox-paypal-subscription-plugin-have-you-tried-it/#post-766595) * [@talia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/talia/): I tried installing EasyPayPal, but I needed something that worked with PayPal’s IPN to create ongoing automatic subscriptions. An older version of EasyPayPal, v3.2 I believe, used the PayPal IPN but some users had problems with it. Without the IPN, the plugin cannot handle automatic payments. Even though it wasn’t integrated with the IPN, EasyPayPal allowed users to sign up, pay through PayPal, and become registered users – without me having to do anything. However, without the IPN, they’d be locked out every X days (where X is your subscription period). * I also tried installing WP-Commerce, which some people apparently like, but I found it too incomprehensible. * In the end, I joined the [EasyPayPal Plugin forum](http://www.codeplex.com/easypaypal/Thread/List.aspx) to discuss the IPN issue with other users. Eventually I was able to develop a version of EasyPayPal for use on my own website. My version allows users to register for free, but doesn’t allow access to additional features without a paid subscription. * It works for now, but I have a LOT of work on it (admin panel stuff, other options, etc) before it would be useful to anyone other than me. * If you’ve got the time and skill, I’d still recommend modifying EasyPayPal to suit your needs. * – H * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Register Plus] making an all authors page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-register-plus-making-an-all-authors-page/) * [Haloscope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haloscope/) * (@haloscope) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-register-plus-making-an-all-authors-page/#post-835460) * I have used WP 2.5, 2.5.1, 2.6, and 2.6.1 with RegPlus and the option functions discussed above. * – H * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Register Plus] making an all authors page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-register-plus-making-an-all-authors-page/) * [Haloscope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haloscope/) * (@haloscope) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-register-plus-making-an-all-authors-page/#post-835453) * This is very odd.

This would make it very easy to uninstall Register Plus – but slightly more difficult to modify a setting manually. * – H * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Register Plus] Feature Suggestions](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-register-plus-feature-suggestions/) * [Haloscope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haloscope/) * (@haloscope) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-register-plus-feature-suggestions/page/2/#post-741586) * Skullbit, * Again, thank you for the fantastic plugin. I especially appreciate you incorporating my feature request. * From looking at the code for your plugin, it looks like all of the variables necessary for Register Plus are kept in a single option. Have you considered keeping them in separate, or more separate, option-value pairs in the options table? Doing so would enable other plugins, themes, etc to check individual Register Plus values instead of reading all the options and parsing it. * Thanks again, * – H * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Register Plus errors when copying website](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register-plus-errors-when-copying-website/) * [Haloscope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haloscope/) * (@haloscope) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register-plus-errors-when-copying-website/#post-800500) * You should check the version of PHP your XAMPP install is running.
