Approval not working

We are using this in conjunction with Memberpress (as it is recommended by them). We need to be able to approve all member registrations, but it’s not working. When a person registers, we receive the notification (as does the registrant). We then “approve” the member and make sure that they have been approved in the Memberpress member list. However, when the member tries to login, they still receive the message that their login is denied because their membership has not yet been approved.

Also, if we setup a new user in the WordPress users list (NOT in memberpress), it ALSO gives the denied message for ALL roles except administrator.

It’s like the only thing the plugin does is change the status displayed in the dashboard, but does not actually grant approval to the user to login. How can we resolve this?
