[Plugin: WP-Members] Error when registering a new user

    When I register a new user, I receive this error message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function update_user_meta() in /mnt/w0500/d33/s41/b032287d/www/christmasspirit.ca/wp-content/plugins/wp-members/wp-members-register.php on line 91

    Is there something that I can do to include a file or set permissions so that update_user_meta() is recognized?

    I’ve just installed WP-Members and selected the parameters that I want in the administrative section. I have not made any edits to the source code. The page that is generating the error is https://christmasspirit.ca/submit/. I get the same error from https://christmasspirit.ca/members-area/. I will be happy to provide any additional information that may help with troubleshooting.

    If I can get this working, this plugin will be amazing and do everything I need. Simply wonderful design! Thank you for your hard work and for making this available.

    I solved it after I wrote the post. I was on WP 2.9.2, and I upgraded to 3.0.1. Solved. I’m not sure what the incompatibility was, but upgrading did the trick.

    So I thought I would share in case anyone encountered a similar error.

    Great plugin. Cheers!

    Thanks for the comments and glad you got it working ok.

    Just for anyone else who stumbles across this (possibly when researching a similar error), WP-Members 2.3.x requires WP 3.0 or higher.

    The undefined function error is because WP-Members 2.3.x uses update_user_meta, which is a WP 3.0+ function not found in 2.9.2 or lower.
