Login form disappeared

As far as I’m concerned, I have upgraded to 3.0.0.1 about 45 min and my “Forgot?” and “Registration” links in the widget disappeared. Then after a while I realized that it was the options under the plugin settings which disappeared. The upgrade removed all my personal settings under the tab “WP-Members Options”. I had to check back the boxes I needed, specify the register link and the forgot password link.
Beside that, all the registrations were approved automatically because the moderation checkbox was unchecked. I had to change this back.

Hope the upgrade to 3.0.0.2 will not do the same.

Looks good on my side after the update to 3.0.0.2.

@chad, thanks for your great support.

@nwipfli – sorry to hear your initial update process didn’t go so well. I did receive some similar descriptions from some others. Everything described there is related to the switch to the new settings array. I did review the update script and everything seems to be as it should be, so I’m not sure what went wrong other than knowing the process did not run clean. Even though a specific issue with the update hasn’t been identified, I’ll definitely keep it as a possible issue as I look to improve.

With that in mind, very glad to hear the 3.0.0.2 went better.

Thanks for the update, but if you did “Show Login Form” checked by default, this would save a lot of time and avoid frustration.

@greybox – It is; or rather more technically, it is intended to be.

If one takes a look at the install script, they would see that regardless of whether the install is an update or a new install, the value is set to show login. Registration is the same, although in the case of updating, it will set the value based on what the user had selected previously.

So the only explanation as to why some users experienced issues in this area is that something happened when the install script was running that caused it to fail.

In hindsight, it probably would have been better to reverse the logic – Hide instead of Show. That way, even if the install failed, the empty value would be the equivalent of false, in which case the intended result would still apply. But that cow is out of the barn (although it may make sense to change that in the future).
