Recently Updated Add Ons

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.

Address for Free Levels: v0.5

Capture name and address fields for free levels or for offsite payment gateways.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Strings wrapped for localization.
  • BUG FIX/ENHANCEMENT: Fixed issue where the “Billing” label in the heading wasn’t being hidden properly for free levels.
  • BUG FIX: Fixed issues with session handling when using PayPal Express/etc. Fields were not being saved on some sites.

bbPress Integration: v1.7.3

Integrate Paid Memberships Pro with bbPress to restrict forum content and enhance the forum experience by membership level.

  • BUG FIX: Fixed issue that was causing fatal errors when WP_Query didn’t contain posts when other plugins were setting the query. Fixes an issue for Formidable Pro/Registrations and improves compatibility with other plugins.
  • BUG FIX: Fixed issue where fatal errors were thrown in the admin when using some other plugins, e.v. WP Form or Formidable Pro. (Thanks, steve-page on GitHub)

Cancel on Next Payment Date: v0.4

Change membership cancellation to set an expiration date for next payment instead of canceling immediately.

  • NOTE: This version requires PMPro version 2.5.8 or higher.
  • BUG FIX/ENHANCEMENT: Uses the new pmpro_change_level filter to keep the user’s level from changing ever. Their order and subsciptions are cancelled and their expiration date is set up, but the pmpro_before_change_membership_level and pmpro_after_change_membership_level will not fire. This prevents issues with other code hooked into membership level changes.
  • BUG FIX/ENHANCEMENT: Now localizing the end date that is included in emails and confirmation messages.
  • BUG FIX: No longer extending a membership if the cancellation status is “error”.
  • BUG FIX: Better handling cases where multiple memberships expire during one page load, e.g. during the expiration cron.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Improved integration for Sugar Calendar and the Event Ticketing Add On so that the Event Ticketing box is not displayed if the event is protected.
  • BUG FIX: Fixed a problem where events for The Events Calendar would get the wrong excerpt when they were protected.

  • BUG FIX/ENHANCEMENT: Reworked function that assigns user roles for Paid Memberships Pro V2.5.8+. Fixes an issue with Multiple Memberships Per User and WooCommerce.
