In addition to this, we’re preparing a new release that will include several back end options to prevent the message from ever appearing. Thanks for the workaround. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Members - Membership & User Role Editor Plugin] stop annoying us with backend messages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-annoying-us-with-backend-messages/) * Plugin Author [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/) * (@supercleanse) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-annoying-us-with-backend-messages/#post-14766328) * Thanks for the review sbalis. I understand how annoying some of our users are finding these notices. I want you to know that we’re preparing a new release of members that should make it much easier to opt out of these messages in the future. I’d love to hear some additional feedback once we have the release out. We should have it ready within the next month or so.

I really like the suggestions you’ve made here( thanks for taking the time to give some solid, constructive feedback) and we’re preparing a new release of members that should make it much easier to opt out of these messages in the future. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Members - Membership & User Role Editor Plugin] plugin to reserved area](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-to-reserved-area/) * Plugin Author [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/) * (@supercleanse) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-to-reserved-area/#post-12755015) * Hi [@gvnn86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gvnn86/), * No, that’s not possible with Members. You should look into our other membership plugin MemberPress (memberpress.com) … this should be quite easy to do with it. * I hope that helps, * Blair * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[PrettyLinks – Affiliate Link Management, URL Shortener, Link Cloaking, Tracking & Branded Short Links] An Iconic Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/an-iconic-plugin/) * Plugin Author [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/) * (@supercleanse) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/an-iconic-plugin/#post-12711184) * Wow, thanks for your kind words [@btozo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/btozo/), it really means a lot to us! * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Members - Membership & User Role Editor Plugin] This is useless without the paid version](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-useless-without-the-paid-version/) * Plugin Author [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/) * (@supercleanse) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-useless-without-the-paid-version/#post-12359942) * Stay tuned Paul … we’ll have a new release out soon that will make things more useful for you. 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry] Protect Content feature not working with MemberPress UN/PWs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/protect-content-feature-not-working-with-memberpress-un-pws/) * [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/) * (@supercleanse) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/protect-content-feature-not-working-with-memberpress-un-pws/#post-9895882) * Yes, MemberPress is compatible with PHP 7 as well. Glad you got it resolved though. 🙂 * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Application Passwords] Convenient and more secure than using User passwords](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/convenient-and-more-secure-than-using-real-user-passwords/) * Thread Starter [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/) * (@supercleanse) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/convenient-and-more-secure-than-using-real-user-passwords/#post-9683175) * Thanks [@moreauf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moreauf/) … that’s a good question. You actually still use _Basic Auth_ with Application Passwords so _as far as the actual request there’s no difference in security_. But Application Passwords **are more secure** because they’re more limited than your actual password. If someone got a hold of one of your application passwords he/she could only use it with the API on your site — _he/she couldn’t actually log in to your wp- admin with it_. * Also, numerous application passwords can be created. The idea is that you could _use a unique application password for each external system_ you’ve connected to your site’s API. So if one of your application passwords gets compromised then you’d just revoke the one and, in theory, none of your others would be affected. * I find that _Application Passwords_ also just makes things more convenient. If I’m working with another developer on an API centric project I can generate an application password for him/her and revoke it when the project’s done … without revealing my actual password. * Could a hacker wreak havoc if he/she got a hold of one of your application passwords? Yes. But it’s going to be a bit harder. So you still absolutely need SSL but _Application Passwords_ adds an additional layer of security and convenience that makes it a great option for many people. * Hope that helps, Blair * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[PrettyLinks – Affiliate Link Management, URL Shortener, Link Cloaking, Tracking & Branded Short Links] Bugs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-70/) * Plugin Author [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/) * (@supercleanse) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-70/#post-9095057) * If anything the new updates have improved the existing slug checking.

Pretty Link has to determine if there are potential conflicts before using a slug. If you can submit a request to [https://prettylinkpro.com/contact](https://prettylinkpro.com/contact) we’d be happy to look at why this is happening in your specific case. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[PrettyLinks – Affiliate Link Management, URL Shortener, Link Cloaking, Tracking & Branded Short Links] New Update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-update-22/) * Plugin Author [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/) * (@supercleanse) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-update-22/#post-8840226) * [@dennisblack777](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dennisblack777/) … this was actually a bug in the plugin that affected some Pretty Link users. It was intended to show up in a small popup which could be permanently dismissed immediately… but for some users it was showing up at the top of every admin page. As soon as it was reported to us we corrected the problem–less than 12 hours after it was introduced. So if you upgrade to 2.0.6 you shouldn’t see this happening anymore. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[PrettyLinks – Affiliate Link Management, URL Shortener, Link Cloaking, Tracking & Branded Short Links] What an "ugly" plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-an-ugly-plugin/) * Plugin Author [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/) * (@supercleanse) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-an-ugly-plugin/#post-8838160) * [@neufsky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neufsky/), have you tried our new Pretty Link 2.0 release? I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how not- ugly it is now. 😀 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PrettyLinks – Affiliate Link Management, URL Shortener, Link Cloaking, Tracking & Branded Short Links] Plugin is phoning home](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-phoning-home/) * Plugin Author [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/) * (@supercleanse) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-phoning-home/#post-8657461) * Thomas & Jan, Thanks for the heads up … it was definitely not our intention to have the plugin hitting this url on admin_init in the lite edition (or in any edition of our plugin with this frequency). We just issued a commit for a version 2.0.2 that resolves this issue. We completely removed the ‘admin_init’ actions that were being called. - This reply was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/). * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[PrettyLinks – Affiliate Link Management, URL Shortener, Link Cloaking, Tracking & Branded Short Links] Loving the new 2.0 release!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loving-the-new-2-0-release/) * Plugin Author [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/) * (@supercleanse) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loving-the-new-2-0-release/#post-8656139) * Thanks usuaggie … we really appreciate the feedback on our new release. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[PrettyLinks – Affiliate Link Management, URL Shortener, Link Cloaking, Tracking & Branded Short Links] Essential plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/essential-plugin-93/) * Plugin Author [Blair Williams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supercleanse/) * (@supercleanse) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/essential-plugin-93/#post-8656138) * rubenvara, We’re glad you like our plugin … thanks for the review.
