code displayed instead of button text

Can you please post a link to your login page so we can inspect it?

Have you made any modification to the plugin code?

Sorry that would have been helpful: https://wiki.clearontech.com/membership-login/

@clearontech,
the reason you see this is because php short-open tag syntax(https://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.short-open-tag) is turned off in your site. the setting is turned on by default in php version 5.4+

we use php short-open tag because given cleaner code. So basically, you will see something like this (this is short-open tag):
<?=
which is equivalent to:
<?php echo

option 1:
you can ask your host to turn this on

option 2:
you can replace <?= with <?php echo.

so far we haven’t heard any complain on short-open tag before this. thats why we have decide to remove this from our code and release another version.

I had not modified the php, below is what it looked like. I turned the short_open_tag=On and restarted Apache and it works now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

; This directive determines whether or not PHP will recognize code between
; <? and ?> tags as PHP source which should be processed as such. It’s been
; recommended for several years that you not use the short tag “short cut” and
; instead to use the full <?php and ?> tag combination. With the wide spread use
; of XML and use of these tags by other languages, the server can become easily
; confused and end up parsing the wrong code in the wrong context. But because
; this short cut has been a feature for such a long time, it’s currently still
; supported for backwards compatibility, but we recommend you don’t use them.
