The plugin is not bad, but it has some minor problems, eg: when editing an user’s account, for some reason the plugin will always redirect to:
your_wordpress_account_link/general/?updated=accountOn my case, the general page does not exists, so, the plugin will show:
“It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.”However, the changes will be saved. A way of coping this would be to add that page on your WordPress and put the account shortcode there. It would be easier if you could specify on the plugin configuration that you want to either redirect to a specific page or show again the account page.
The same happens when changing the password and the privacy options. You will be redirected to “…/password” and “…/privacy”, which doesn’t exist on my system.
Another problem I’m also seeing is that some settings store plain strings instead of codes. For example: the ‘profile_privacy’ attribute of a user can have this two values: ‘Only me’ and ‘Everyone’. This is not really efficient. I would say that you should better store codes, eg: 0 = ‘Only me’, 1 = ‘Everyone’ or even string codes: ‘only_me’ and ‘everyone’. I don’t see how English words are a good way of coding a status.
I guess your main problem are the .po translation files; you are storing strings; however, you should better store string codes. What happen if you find a typo on a string or you want to replace it with a better phrase? You will have to change it on all .po translation files.
