Installation
WP-Members is designed to run “out-of-the-box” with no modifications to your WP installation necessary. Please follow the installation instructions below. Most of the support issues that arise are a result of improper installation or simply not reading/following directions.
Basic Install:
The best way to begin is to review the Initial Setup Video. There is also a complete Users Guide available that covers all of the plugin’s features in depth.
- Upload the
/wp-members/
directory and its contents to the/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress®
You are ready to begin using WP-Members. Now follow the instructions titled “Locking down your site” below.
Locking down your site:
- To restrict posts, you will need to use the
<!--more-->
link in your posts. Content above to the “more” split will display on summary pages (home, archive, category) but the user will be required to login to view the entire post. You may also use the plugin’s auto excerpt setting to create post excerpts automatically. If you do not use the “more” tag or the auto excerpt setting, full post content is going to show on archive templates, unless the post is marked as hidden. - To begin restricting pages, change the plugin default setting for pages to be blocked. Unlike posts, the
<!--more-->
link is not necessary in the blocking of pages, but must be used if you have the “show excerpts” setting turned on for pages. - To protect comments, we recommend setting “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” under Settings > Discussion.
- On the Settings > General page, it is recommended that you uncheck “Anyone can register”. While not required, this will prevent WP’s native registration from colliding with WP-Members, especially if you are using any of the WP-Members additional registration fields.
- Under Settings > Reading, “For each article in a feed, show” is recommended to be set to “Summary.” WordPress installs with full feed settings by default. If you don’t change this, your feeds will show full content.
Additional Setup Information
There are also some special pages that can be created with simple shortcodes:
- A User Profile page where registered members can edit their information and change/reset their password: [wpmem_profile]
- A Registration page available for those that need a specific URL for registrations (such as email marketing or banner ad landing pages). Note: this is strictly optional as a registration form can also be included by default on blocked content pages: [wpmem_form register]
- A Login page. This is also an optional page as the login form is included by default on blocked content. But if you need a specific login page, this can be created with a simple shortcode: [wpmem_form login]
- And more shortcodes are available!
Powerful cusotmizations can be constructed with over 120 action and filter hooks, as well as user accessible functions.

- Fixed lower bulk menu “add field” item for adding a custom field in the Fields tab.
- Fixed issue where update settings button may not show on RS Captcha settings tab if plugin not installed (so couldn’t change captcha type without going back to main options tab).
- Fixed issue in password reset link if user login value is truncated, causing the user ID to not be found.
- Add “membership” field type to [wpmem_field] accepted field types.
- Changes the “required” field indicator in the default terms checkbox to display next to the label instead of the input.
- Added filter for reCAPTCHA v3 validation score. Default value is 0.5, wpmem_recaptcha_score can filter this value.
- Added additional user views for the Users > All Users screen, can now screen by membership and email confirmed/not confirmed.
- Added additional actions for the Users > All Users screen.
- Added wpmem_user_set_as_confirmed action when user has confirmed their email or the admin has manually confirmed.
- Added wpmem_user_set_as_unconfirmed action when admin has manually unconfirmed a user.
- Added wpmem_validation_link filter.
- Added $defaults to be passed to wpmem_auto_excerpt_args filter.
- Removed jabber, aim, and yim fields from default WP fields for wp_insert_user(). They haven’t been native for WP for awhile, and if needed, they can be added as a custom field using the same meta.
3.3.8
- This update does upgrade the plugin’s db version. It adds a new email for user email validation during registration.
- Revised password reset, now uses WP’s user_activation_key instead of custom meta.
- Revised email validation on registration, now users WP’s user_activation_key instead of custom meta.
- Revised email validation for cleaner use when moderated registration is active. Now, if registration is moderated, user must validate their email before notification is sent to admin. User cannot log in until admin approves the user. (Must enable WP Login Erroe setting in WP-Members options for complete messaging.)
- Revised email validation now has custom email.
- Added User Screen column for user email validation/confirmation, updated column for activation (uses dashicons instead of text).
- Improved handling of User Screen column labels so that if a label is changed in the WP-Members Fields manager, the column is automatically reflected without refreshing the wpmembers_utfields setting.
- When registration runs wp_insert_user(), the resulting $user object is captured and passed to the wpmem_register_redirect action.
- The default function in the WP-Members user object runs register_redirect() hooked to the wpmem_register_redirect action. Previously, this was run at the default priority (10). This update moves it to priority 20 (so a custom redirect set at the default priority will run first).
- Can now customize the plugin’s upload directory.
- Fixes issue with attachment URLs in user profile view when used in multisite.
- Added new feature settings for turning on/off WP-Members fields in WooCommerce My Account page registration and checkout registration.
- Added captcha support to native WP registration form.

- Updated export default date format for filename to YYYY-MM-DD
- Fixed bug in export if no users are selected
- Updated wpmem_sanitize_array() to accept “type” argument to define data type to be sanitized (currently only accepts integer|int, default sanitizes as text).
- Add WP-Members “checked by default” property to WooCommerce checkout registration checkbox fields.
- Added new conditional API function – wpmem_is_woo_active() for checking if WooCommerce is active.
- Added integer test/check to wpmem_sanitize_field(), now can sanitize multiselect, multicheckbox, textarea, email, file, image, and number fields.
- Revised “activation link” feature to “Confirmation link”.
3.3.6
- Improved admin tab for captcha settings. You can now change the captcha type from the captcha tab (previously, you could only do this from the main options tab).
- Removed “pattern” attribute from number field type. HTML5 does not support this attribute for this input type.
- Fix issues with custom fields in admin/user dashboard profile. This involved a change to how fields were loaded for both display and validation (so that now it is a singular process).
- Fix undefined has_access() (replaced with API function) when renewing a membership.
- Fix issues with WooCommerce registration integration.
- Fix issue of undefined array keys if Really Simple Captcha is selected, but the plugin is not enabled.
- Fix issue that caused users to not be properly set when moderated registration is used along with BuddyPress and users are created manually.
- Fix issue in WP CLI wpmem settings command that caused error to be displayed when viewing content settings.
3.3.5
- Added optional new user validation link and password reset link (instead of sending password). This option will become the default setting in 3.4.0.
- Added optional login error message to fully utilize the WP login error. This option will become the default setting in 3.4.0.
- Updated the default product restricted message to display required membership(s). This eliminates the custom message string “product_restricted” and replaces with two new ones: product_restricted_single and product_restricted_multiple. (Note this only affects the default message if no custom membership message is established in the membership properties).
- Added login/logout button to login/logout link api function wpmem_loginout() and shortcode [wpmem_loginout]. It will continue to display a hyperlink by default, but accepts arguments to display as a button. Also added ID and class options for link or button.
- Added [wpmem_login_button] to directly call the button format of [wpmem_loginout].
- Captcha options now have a static function that can be used to directly call captcha and validation.
- Fixed an issue where the Really Simple Captcha “not installed” error was returned as a string but evaluated as an array.
- Fixed an issue that caused the “membership” field selector/type to display as a text input in Users > Add New instead of a dropdown/select.
- Added user api functions wpmem_get_user_id(), wpmem_get_user_obj(), wpmem_get_users_by_meta().
- Added action hooks to membership product admin screen.
- Added wpmem_post_product filter to allow for filtering required products by post ID.
- Added wpmem_is_user_activated filter hook.
- wpmem_activate_user() now accepts a “notify” argument (defaults to true, set to false to not send a notification email).
- Added wpmem_get_users_by_meta(), wpmem_get_pending_users(), wpmem_get_activated_users(), and wpmem_get_deactivated_users().
- Added manage_options capability requirement for membership products custom post type.
- Updated WooCommerce registration handling.
- Added wpmem_is_reg_type(). Can be used withing wpmem_post_register_data to determine which registration type is being triggered.
- Added WP-CLI commands (see release announcement and documentation for more information on specific commands).
- Added support for hCaptcha (https://www.hcaptcha.com/).
3.3.4
- Updated pre_get_posts to merge post__not_in with any existing values. This will allow for better integration with other plugins (such as Search Exclude).
- Updated pre_get_posts to fire later (20) in case another plugin is adding values to be excluded. This will prevent any hidden posts from being dropped by the other plugin’s process.
- Added wpmem_hidden_posts and wpmem_posts__not_in filters.
- Fixed logic in upload input type (image or file) to correct undefined variable ($file_type).
- Added function_exists check for wpmem_renew() (a PayPal extension function used in the core plugin).
- Fixed function name typo for wpmem_a_extend_user() (a PayPal extension function used in the core plugin).
- Updated product access shortcode error message to use the product_restricted message and changed the class to product_restricted_msg
- Updated CAPTCHA class for more flexibility (can now be implemented into API for calling directly in the login or other forms).
- Moved user export function from Admin API to User API.
- Fixed adding WP-Members fields to WooCommerce checkout.
3.3.3
- If WooCommerce is active, any standard WC user meta fields are removed from the WP-Members additional fields in the User Profile Edit (since they already display in the WC field blocks).
- When setting hidden posts, don’t include posts from post types not set as handled by WP-Members. This prevents previously hidden posts from being included if the post type is no longer included for WP-Members.
- Set a default product for publishing posts/pages.
- Updated activation/deactivation processing so that a (admin) user cannot activate or deactivate themselves. Also, if a user has “edit_users” capability, they can log in without being activated.
- Load email “from” address with main settings rather than when email is sent. This corrects issues with Advanced Options extension, and also keeps the value loaded for use outside of WP-Members email function.
- WP 5.4 adds the wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields action, so now WP-Members only loads its custom walker if WP is 5.3 or lower.
- Image file field type now shows an immediate preview when the “choose file” button is clicked and an image selected (both profile update and new registration).
- wpmem_login_failed_args updated to pass $args (similar to other _args filters in the plugin, now parses defaults).
3.3.2
- Added back shortcode menu item previously removed in 3.3.0.
- Added new handling in wpmem_is_blocked() for validating rest api requests.
- Added new wpmem_is_rest() function to the plugin’s API, determines if the request is a rest request.
- Fixed issue with dropdown, mutliple select, and radio field types that allowed white space in resulting value.
- Fixed issue with register/profile update validation if email is removed via wpmem_fields filter hook.
- Fixed issue with prev/next post links to not show hidden posts if user is logged in but does not have a membership.
- Fixed issue with hidden posts when membership products are used. Hidden posts not assigned a membership remained hidden.
- Fixed issue with menus where logged in/logged out settings were not applied unless membership products were enabled.
- Moved wpmem_post_register_data action to fire hooked to user_register at priority 20. Changed email actions to fire at priority 25. See release announcement for more detail of implications.
- Code improvement to reCAPTCHA.
- Code improvement to excerpt generation.
- Code improvement to expiration date generation.
- Code improvement to hidden posts when using membership products.
- Code improvement changed user_register hook priority for post_register_data() to “9” to allow for custom meta fields to be available to any user_register function using the default priority (10) or later.
3.3.1
- Update membership product expiration to allow for a “no gap” expiration (i.e. renewal begins from expiration date, optional) or default (renewal begins from today or expiration date, whichever is later).
- Update user activation to use wp_set_password().
- Update display of membership product slugs to text (instead of a form input). They can’t be edited.
- Added empty /inc/dialogs.php for customizations and plugins that try to include the legacy dialogs file.
- Updates to user profile screen which allows users with ‘edit_users’ capability (admins) to edit their own profile.
- Fixes a bug that caused the user profile display for a new user to say “reactivate” instead of “activate”.
- Fixes a bug in the membership renewal that sets the individual date meta forward two periods instead of one.
- Fixes a bug in the hidden fields lookup that caused hidden posts with a membership limitation to not display to users who had a matching membership.
- Changed custom menu options to use wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields action hook. This is a “made up” hook that is not actually part of WP. But somewhere along the line, some menu-focused plugins began using it in their custom walkers. By not using it in WP-Members, that caused some problems for users who also used one of those other plugins or themes. This updates shifts to use this “non-standard” action hook these other themes and plugins are using in order to apply some level of compatibility.
Including all 3.3.0.x patches:
* Provides a workaround for a bug in the dialogs setting when custom dialogs are applied. This targets an issue specifically affecting users with the WP-Members Security extension installed. (3.3.0.4)
* Fixes a bug when products are enabled but no default is set. Allows for no default membership assigned at registration. (3.3.0.4)
* Fixes a bug that caused the post restricted message to display on the short form when it was in password reset and forgot username state. (3.3.0.4)
* Added wpmem_get_hidden_posts() API function to return an array of post IDs marked as hidden. (3.3.0.4)
* Fixes a shortcode issue for the [wpmem_logged_in] shortcode when using the meta_key attribute. 3.3.0 added a “compare” attribute, and with this addition, it broke the original default use of the shortcode. (3.3.0.3)
* Fixes an issue with registration/profile form fields when used in the profile. It was intended to introduce separate selection of fields for registration and profile update in 3.3.0. However, there is an issue that causes profile fields to both (1) not correctly display and (2) if they do, they do not update correctly. (3.3.0.2)
* Fixes issue when updating where the stylesheet selector indicates “use_custom” but the actual URL is to a default stylesheet. The problem can be corrected manually, but this fix applies the custom URL to the new standard setting for the defaults. (3.3.0.1)
* Fixes bug where any stylesheet other than the default reverts to the default (“no float”). This was due to the database version being wiped when settings were updated. This fix correctly applies the database version when updating settings. (3.3.0.1)
* Fixes bug when captcha is used (unknown validate() function). The validate() function should have been declared and used as a static method. This fix declares validate() as static and then uses it as such. (3.3.0.1)
* Fixes undefined string variable when successful registration is executed. (3.3.0.1)

IMPORTANT UPDATES/CHANGES
-
Major filesystem changes. The directory structure has changed and several files
moved/renamed/made obsolete. If you have ANY WP-Members customization that directly
includes a file, that step is probably obsolete. The plugin has loaded most of the
include files automatically since at least version 3.2, so this step has not been
necessary for quite some time. However, this set of changes is more significant.
(If you do not have code snippets using file includes from WP-Members, this most
likely will not affect you.) -
Updated registration function to hook to user_register, IMPORTANT: this
changes the order in which the user meta fields are saved, and also changes
when the email is sent. Email is now hooked to user_register, but can be
unloaded if necessary. -
Major overhaul of registration and login form, validation, and processing
functions. Moved things into appropriate object classes (user, forms) and
deprecated legacy functions and files (register.php, forms.php). -
Updated membership product meta and date format, IMPORTANT: this changes the
way the user product access information is stored (going from an array of
all memberships to individual meta for each) as well as the format (dates
are now unix timestamp). There is an update script that will run during
upgrade to handle this. For now, the legacy format is also maintained (so
consider this if customzizing any processing) so that rollback is possible. -
Updated wpmem_user_has_meta() to include a check by array when the field is
multiple checkbox or multiple select. -
Updated [wpmem_logged_in] shortcode to include an msg attribute to display a
message if the user does not have access to a specified product (product must
be passed as attribute). -
Updated [wpmem_logged_in] shortcode to include a compare attribute. Possible
values for “compare” are “=” and “!=” to restrict if the has a meta value or
the meta value is “not equal to” respectively. Passing only meta_key/meta_value
will still assume an “=” comparison. -
Updated register page shortcode [wpmem_form register] logged in state – if a
profile page is set, second link links to profile rather than “begin using
the site”. -
Updated Users > All Users screen filters, removed “Not Activated” replaced
with “Pending Activation”. Filter now only shows users who have not been
activated, no longer includes users who were deactivated. -
Major menus change – if you use the $wpmem->menus object directly, this is
now $wpmem->menus_clone (setting $wpmem->clone_menus remains the same).
wpmem_menu_settings and wpmem_menus are now wpmem_clone_menu_settings and
wpmem_clone_menus. New menu handing has been introduced in the $wpmem->menus
object and that will take the place of the cloned menu options. -
Updated the way stylesheets are handled. Added wpmem_get_suffix() API function to
get the appropriate suffix for files (.min.css or .css) for both js and css. Also,
minified all CSS files that were not previously minified. Note: you can no longer
filter custom stylesheets into the plugin’s dropdown selector (no one was using
this feature as far as I am aware anyway). You can still filter the stylesheet
being loaded as well as indicate the path of a custom stylesheet. -
Added reCAPTCHA v3 support.
- Added default membership product(s) at registration.
- Added membership product(s) for user export.
- Added support for selecting fields to display on the registration form or the profile form.
- Added wpmem_activate_user() and wpmem_deactivate_user() to user API.
- Added wpmem_user_sets_password() API function.

- Added wpmem_set_user_status() API function.
- Added wpmem_export_users() as API function (function already existed, but the original has been moved to an object class, and the function has been included in the API).
- Added wpmem_sanitize_field() API function. This is a general utility that allows for different sanitization by type.
- Added wpmem_maybe_unserialize() API function. If result is serialized, it unserializes to an array, if an array, it sanitizes using wpmem_sanitize_array().
- Added wpmem_get_user_role() API function.
- Added wpmem_get_user_ip() API function.
- Added wpmem_get_user_meta() API function.

- Replaced WPMEM_URL constant with $wpmem->url.
- New folder structure being implemented

Other Improvements
- Changed load for WP-Members Admin API so that emails, dialogs, and tabs only load on the WP-Members settings screens (where they are used).
- Changed email “from” to only load if the WP-Members Email object is doing a send (user or admin). This saves an option load when not needed.
- Fixed an issue where a PHP notice was thrown if one of the User Pages (login/register/profile) was deleted but the setting not updated. Fixes the PHP notice issue, but also adds an admin notice to indicate the page was deleted, but the setting not updated. (This also adds a new admin notice function/process that can be expanded on later.)
- Fixed an issue with wpmem_user_has_access() that prevented proper results when used to check a specific user ID (other than the current user).
3.2.9
- Load jQuery UI and Select2 libraries locally (if they have not already been enqueued).
- Use (local) template file for default tos field link (can be customized and saved in theme folder).
- Added new sanitization functions to API: wpmem_sanitize_class() and wpmem_sanitize_array().
- Review and cleanup of form data sanitization.
- Improved file/image field upload file type validation.
- Fixed issue with loading legacy translation files.
- Added “membership” attribute to [wpmem_logged_in] shortcode (same as “product” attribute, they are interchangeable).

- Updated install for multisite to use wp_insert_site (wpmu_new_blog deprecated in WP 5.1).
- Added user screen filter to show activated users.
3.2.6
- Update to evaluate required fields as not null (instead of false).
- Added wpmem_tos_link_tag filter.
