 * Whenever any member goes to the membership-profile page to edit their details,
   when they try to update this message appears and the update is not done;
 * Please correct the following.
 *  Password mismatch
 * This is when they do not want to change their password, and in the boxes ‘Password’
   and ‘Repeat Password’, the first has their existing password (I assume) asterisked
   out, and the second has the text ‘Leave empty to keep the current password’ (
   which also appears in the first box if the asterisks are deleted). Are they actually
   meant to enter their current password again in both boxes or is this incorrect
   behaviour by, or an incorrect message in the Repeat Password box in the plugin?
   If the password is actually entered in the second box only the same error message
   appears, but if entered in both boxes the process works, so I am guessing the
   message is incorrect and should say something like ‘Please enter your password
   to update your details’ in both boxes. Please advise. In the meantime I am going
   to try to alter that message myself.
 * P.S. I have subsequently realised that the asterisks were my browser automatically
   filling in the password for me, and I think it was actually filling in the incorrect
   password, so this could explain the problem.
