 * So I changed the _fill_user to get_user_meta and now wordpress doesn’t completely
   crash, however passwords are not expiring.
 * Considering this software has some sort of activation to a “homeip.net” I’m not
   sure I could ever rely on this thing.

 * officeguy, I am looking into this as well. Not having much luck.
 * Let me know if you get things to actually work.
 * Is this plugin supported? I am going to track down the developer on twitter and
   find out.
 * …to be continued…

 * I’ve not gotten this to work, my fix didn’t actually fix the code, only made 
   the wp-admin area not break.
 * I’d be an unhappy camper if I’d purchased this thing. Developer seems MIA.

 * I actually was able to get a hold of him via Twitter. He is saying that he might
   have time to get a fresh release out that is compatible with WP 3.3.1.
 * I will have to look around more.

 * Same problem here. PassExpire plugin crashes my WP 3.3.1 site, with the error“
   Call to undefined function _fill_user()”. The plugin page says compatible up 
   to 3.2.1, so I’m going to try downgrading WP to 3.2.1.

 * OK, I downgraded to WP 3.2.1 and the PassExpire plugin activates without crashing
   the site. But, it doesn’t appear to work. I expired the password of an account
   and logged into it, and I don’t see any messages or prompts. I thought it would
   force the user to update their profile with a new password?

 * This is just my opinion, but it’s not a good idea to go backwards in your deployment
   just so a plugin will work. For security purposes, it is very important to always
   be up to date on WordPress core.

 * Agreed (that it’s not a good idea to downgrade WP). I was just desperate to get
   PassExpire to work. I don’t see any good alternatives out there. I might have
   to write code from scratch… which I can do… but although I have lot of generic
   PHP experience my WP experience is limited so there is a significant learning
   curve to learn all the hooks & protocols.
