Hi Chad,

A few recommendations to make WP-Members even better:

1) Reset Password should not be configured to automatically reset passwords. If somebody knows your customers, he can abuse Reset Password and reset your customers passwords. This is a security flaw that can close a small business.
Reset password should be configured to work as WordPress core does: the user can reset his password only after authenticated by his email.

2) The Select field type works great if you have a lot of options that would not fit inside a form, for ex Select Country with +30 options. For a small number of options there should be checkboxes that accept only a single selection, for ex Select Time with 3 checkboxes Morning | Afternoon | Evening.
I would recommend the introduction of such a new field type: checkboxes that accept only a single selection. Looking very professional and allowing better designs.

Thank you,
Andrei

Your question about #1 is actually something that is being worked on. If you look at how I have approached changes in the plugin over time, you’ll notice that I do not make wholesale changes without a lot of consideration. This is because it affects a very large number of users, most of whom do not ever read change logs when they are updating. The current password reset is the same as what WP’s native process was when the plugin introduced password reset into its features. WP’s changed awhile ago, but I did not change WP-Members at that time for the reasons mentioned above. But it will be changing at some point in the 3.2 lifecycle. This may not be 3.2.0 but if not, it won’t be long after that. It also will cease to send new users an initial password as the new registration default, but will move to an activation link for that process as well.

On #2, what you described is available. Where there are multiple choices but only one accepted value is a radio group. In contrast, a multiple checkbox always allows for multiple selections.

1) Great to see this upgrade for password reset. It is true that many users update their plugins without reading the change log. But there are also the WP-Members users that really like this plugin, read the change logs and expect proactive, modern updates.

2) Indeed there is the radio type field. I just realized that I can turn the radios into checkboxes with a little css, so thank you for the tip 🙂

Cheers,
Andrei
