Hi Chad,

Thanks for the great plugin!

I was on 3.2.2.1 but still receiving the, “Sorry, username is a required field” error on attempted registration.
I worked out the cause. Leaving the fix here in case anyone has the same issue; at least they can benefit from the time I spent debugging it.

I was using the ‘wpmem_register_form_rows‘ filter to update the username field HTML in the registration form.

I was using:

add_filter( 'wpmem_register_form_rows', 'wpMembersChangeRegistrationRows', 10, 2);

function wpMembersChangeRegistrationRows( $rows, $tag ) {
    if ($tag == 'new') {
		$rows['username'] = array(
			'order' => 3,
			'row_before' => '',
			'row_after' => '',
			'field_before' => '',
			'field_after' => '',
			'field' => '<input name="user_login" type="text" id="user_login" value="" class="textbox" required="">',
			'label' => '<label for="user_login" class="text">Username<span class="req">*</span></label>',
			'type' => 'text',
		);
	}

	return $rows;
}

I outputted $rows['username'] in this function and saw that the input now uses ‘username’ for the input name instead of ‘user_login’.

Updating this field name from ‘user_login’ to ‘username’ fixed it for me.

I’m guessing others may come across this if they are also overriding the username field and label with this filter.

Also, I still get the Uncaught TypeError: $(...).select2 is not a function error in the main settings page: Settings > WP-Members Options.

I’m using the updated fix from this commit:
https://github.com/butlerblog/wp-members/commit/4d3bd820da356b027a88f87b1617a76057361f74
I installed a new WordPress site, and only added WP-Members and this JS error still occurs for me.

Cheers,
Nathan
