Approval Process for Membership v1.3 Release: Security and Bug Fixes, Now Compatible with Member Directory

v1.3 of the Approvals Add On for Paid Memberships Pro provides several security and issue-related fixes. We have also added compatibility for the Member Directory and Profiles Add On so that unapproved members will not be displayed.

About the Add On

The Approvals Add On for Paid Memberships Pro allows you to set up a unique approval or application process for your membership site. After a member signs up, the Admin, Membership Manager, or new Approver roles will have the ability to approve their membership or deny the application.
