Read on to see what our development team and many external developers have contributed to our open source platform in the last few months. This post contains release notes for Paid Memberships Pro Add Ons recently updated.
How to Update PMPro Add Ons
Navigate to Dashboard > Updates in the WordPress admin to update Add Ons in your membership site. A valid license is required to update some of our premium Add Ons. Be sure to backup your site before performing updates and always update one plugin at a time so that you can isolate upgrade issues.
BuddyPress: v1.3.0 and v1.3.1
Manage access to your BuddyPress Community using Paid Memberships Pro.
- ENHANCEMENT: Added “Membership” menu tab to the “View Profile” BuddyPress page.
- ENHANCEMENT: Removed “Public” or “Private” wording from the frontend when viewing groups when this feature requires a level.
- ENHANCEMENT: Removed “Public” option from XProfile field settings as this is restricted in certain cases.
- ENHANCEMENT: Improved restrictions for notifications page when BuddyPress settings are locked down (I.e. Group Notifications).
- ENHANCEMENT: Redirect away from the BuddyPress directory if the user’s membership level doesn’t allow access to Groups.
- ENHANCEMENT: Improved the BuddyPress Directory SQL into parts so that tweaking/customizing the filtering is easier. New filter added
pmpro_bp_directory_sql_parts. - BUG FIX: Fixed an issue where the initial installation would not restrict BuddyPress. By default, on initial install all features of BuddyPress are restricted to non-members.
- BUG FIX: Fixed an issue where the “Show Membership Level on Profiles” wasn’t working for BuddyBoss installs.

Cancel on Next Payment Date: v0.5
Change membership cancellation to set an expiration date for next payment instead of canceling immediately.

!!startdate!!and!!enddate!!variables for use in the cancel or cancel_admin email templates. - BUG FIX/ENHANCEMENT: Fixed warnings related to non-int values being passed into the
date()function. - BUG FIX/ENHANCEMENT: Now bailing if we can’t figure out which level is being cancelled (happens sometimes with MMPU or when cancellations happen via webhook or custom code).

- REFACTOR: Removed some unused code.
Courses for Membership: v1.2
Create courses with lessons and manage member access natively in Paid Memberships Pro. Also integrates membership with third party LMS plugins including LearnDash and LifterLMS.

pmpro_my_coursesandpmpro_all_coursesshortcodes. - BUG FIX: Fixed an issue for the

Member Directory and Profile Pages: v1.2.3
Enhance your membership site with a public or members-only searchable directory and customizable member profile pages.

A collection of customizations useful when allowing users to pay by check for Paid Memberships Pro levels.
- ENHANCEMENT: Tweaked the confirmation message on the confirmation page to clearly show that no access is available until payment is received.
