[Plugin: Register Plus] Update for 2.7 Cus it dont work anymore

another newbie to WP so 2.7.1 is my first install. Was really glad to find this plugin as I wanted to capture some additional info on my community of readers. I setup four additional checkboxes from which I expect a new user to select one of the four. tested and found that all the checkboxes show as selected in the user profile regardless of which ones actually get picked at registration.

thanks

Official update coming soon. It’s a big one so it’s taking me some time. I’ll try to squeeze in a minor update with some 2.7 fixes soon though.

thanks for the update devbit!

hi devbit,
thanks for the announcement.
i’m looking forward to the update ??

Was able to get it running and made recommended fixes posted above (thanks!).. Having an issue where new registered users are having their usernames reset to “unverified__bl2582gj”. Then, as an admin, when I verify the user, the username is resent to [blank].

I double checked and in fact attempting to login in with the username initially registered (after verification) returns the error “invalid username”. Leaving a blank username in the login page obviously returns a “The username field is blank”

I’m unable to edit the username per the normal rules for the Edit User panel in WordPress. While the Register Plus plugin is active, even the normal User admin exhibits the same behavior when attempting to add a new user (username gets trashed).

*bleck*

Stumped.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I am in the same boat as ttiger211996. Not sure if this was resolved, but I have the same exact problem installing 2.7.1 on my Mac locally. I installed the plugin, activated it, and tried to register but it showed the old register page. I even played around with some of the Register Plus settings but it still showed the old register page.

Any suggestions on other things I can try?

For whatever it counts, I can also confirm that the Password Strength meter doesn’t seem to be working in 2.7. It also appears that the Custom CSS field isn’t working – or at least any CSS entered in said field doesn’t appear in the final Login page. It’s no big deal; just wanted to let you know.

I too am getting reports from users that captcha is always returning invalid. Any ideas on this one? This is a major feature of RP, and not being able to use it greatly dilutes RP’s value to me.

Thanks…

Anyone have an idea on this?

I’m having big proboblems with RP in 2.7.1 firstly it says

“You have another plugin installed that is conflicting with Register Plus. This other plugin is overriding the user notification emails. Please see Register Plus Conflicts for more information.”

so I checked out https://skullbit.com/news/register-plus-conflicts/ and I don’t have either of these modules installed.

I did a recursive grep to search for wp_new_user_notification to check that it isn’t in any other modules I have and didn’t find it. I also searched for pluggable.php – and found that the latest version of postie (which I need) is a bad person and includes plugable.php. So I’ll be taking that up with the postie author.

I can’t get the password meter to work even with the hack suggested above.

captcha doesn’t work for me either.

and the user moderation feature doesn’t seem to work either – new users get added strait to the system – though this could be the postie clash above.

Would really welcome and update for 2.7.1

OK got a work around for the postie vs register plus issue – rename postie directory to zzz_postie so that it loads last and so the wp_new_user_notification gets defined before postie includes the pluggable.php file. (this sorted the user moderation issue)

can’t get captcha to work on either 2.6 or 2.7.1

Just wanted to thank MarQ_ZA for the fix again. All I need is the Password Meter up and running again – seems to work fine for that.

will there be an official release fixing all these problems???? maybe someone can send a download link to a fully functioning package for version 2.7?

I was getting the problem with the CAPTCHA coming up as invalid every time as well, but added the code suggested by the plugin and it worked just fine (using 2.7 here). Go to the WordPress root and edit wp-login.php. Add “session_start();” somewhere on its own line just after line 1 (it should just be “<?php”) and then save. That did the trick for me.

As one or two people mentioned, I also am not getting user verification emails sent.
