Version 2.10.4 of Paid Memberships Pro is out with a handful of bug fixes and enhancements. These bugs have the potential to apply better checkout spam protections to your site as well as resolve issues with Stripe billing updates for existing subscriptions, so be sure to upgrade.

We are now also defaulting to set the checkout Spam Protection setting to enabled by default for new installs. If you do not have this setting enabled, you will instead be shown a notice to enable the setting. We recommend all sites use this setting as a first-step toward combating checkout spam.

Please update Paid Memberships Pro from the plugins page of your WordPress dashboard. You can also get the latest version of PMPro here or version 2.10.4 specifically here.
