Add On Updates for January 2017

This post recaps the 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.

Addon Packages

• BUG: No longer changing expiration if user already has the membership level.

bbPress Integration

• BUG: Fixed fatal error when bbPress was not activated.
• ENHANCEMENT: When redirecting members away from protected forums, the referring page is now saved in $_SESSION['pmpro_bbp_redirected_from'].
• FEATURE: Added new shortcode for member activity (topics or replies).

Donations Add On

• ENHANCEMENT: Wrapped all text to allow translation.

Email Templates Admin Editor Add On

Note: This Add On is now merged into core PMPro. See documentation on customizing email templates in Paid Memberships Pro.

• BUG: Fixed typo when editing the email header.
• BUG: Fixed link to edit the test order.
• FEATURE: Updated for localization with new pmproet.pot/po files.

Limit Post Views Add On

• BUG: Fixed issue where current user’s level ID wasn’t used properly when NOT using JavaScript and counting views per level.
• BUG: Fixed PHP warning when PMPRO_LPV_USE_JAVASCRIPT wasn’t defined.
• BUG: Fixed issue where the addon would crash if PMPro was not activated.
• ENHANCEMENT: Now tracking views per level for cases where users upgrade their level during the middle of the month/etc.
• ENHANCEMENT: Moved the redirect code into a pmpro_lpv_redirect() function.
• ENHANCEMENT: Added a pmprolpv_has_membership_access filter that can be used to override the behavior of the code that redirects users away from content.
• ENHANCEMENT: Added a pmprolpv_post_types filter that can be used to tell the addon to allow and limit views on other post types. Defaults to just array(‘post’).

Mailchimp Integration

• BUG: Fixed issue with updating email addresses in Mailchimp when email addresses are updated in WordPress.
• ENHANCEMENT: Added a filter pmpromc_profile_update that you can set to __return_true to tell the addon to synchronize user data on every profile update. By default, PMPro MailChimp will only synchronize data if the email address has changed. Filter passes $update_user, $user_id, and $old_user_data and is documented in the code.
• BUG: Fixed issue where the wrong subscriber id was being used for subsequent API calls when calls were made for more than one subscriber (e.g. when importing, bulk updating, or members are expiring).
• BUG: Fixed other warnings, typos, and minor bugs.
• ENHANCEMENT: Added filter pmpro_addon_mc_api_timeout to modify API connection timeout (default is 10 seconds which should be plenty!)
• BUG: Fixed bug where “additional opt-in lists” were causing fatal errors at checkout if set.

Member History

Note: this feature is now merged into the core PMPro plugin. View documentation on the member history feature in Paid Memberships Pro.

• BUG/ENHANCEMENT: Now showing pending/error/token/refunded (any status) orders in the history again.
• BUG: Fixed invalid expiry date in member history for members who have none (again). 🙂

Nav Menus Add On

• ENHANCEMENT: Added a PMPro Custom Menu Widget. The widget filtering we were doing before only worked on menus that were also attached to menu locations. The PMPro Custom Menu Widget will work for menus only used in widgets. The widget has a property to choose who the menu is shown to.
• ENHANCEMENT: Now also filtering the Custom Menu Widget so member menus are shown.

Network/Multisite Membership

• BUG: Fixed some warnings during account creation.

User Fields (Register Helper)

• BUG: Fixed display of fields with multiple values in Members List CSV.
• BUG: Fixed JS logic for conditional checkbox fields. (Thanks, jslootbeek)
