| 57 | +**Packed with features**, but not required to use them all, just those you want. Some of them: | |
| 70 | 58 | |
| 71 | -s2Member allows you to protect Pages, Posts, Tags, Categories, URIs, URI word fragments, URI Replacement Codes for BuddyPress, Specific Post/Page "Buy Now" Access, and even portions of content within Posts/Pages/themes/plugins.

| 73 | -Each Membership Level can have different restrictions, and you could even integrate Conditionals within your content based on Member Level, or on Custom Capabilities. Both Simple (Shortcode) and Advanced (PHP) code samples are provided under `s2Member -> API Scripting`. s2Member has been fully integrated with Roles/Capabilities; already built into WordPress®. It is designed to be completely seamless, without code bloat. We've carefully structured the entire framework, in order to maximize s2Member's ability to operate with other plugins installed. For instance, s2Member is also compatible with BuddyPress; and can even be used to protect forums powered by bbPress. | |
| 79 | +👉 Install and start using s2Member now! 🤩 | |
| 74 | 80 | |
| 75 | -You can also sell Specific Post/Page Access (membership not required), using "Buy Now" buttons. You can even package multiple Posts/Pages together into one "Buy Now" transaction. Further details are provided under `s2Member -> PayPal® Buttons -> Specific Posts/Pages`. Specific Post/Page Access, is like selling a product. Only, instead of shipping anything to the Customer, you just give them access to a specific Post/Page on your site; one that you created in WordPress®. A Specific Post/Page protected by s2Member, might contain a download link for your eBook, access to file & music downloads, access to support services, and the list goes on. The possibilities with this are endless; as long as your digital product can be delivered through access to a WordPress® Post/Page. For instance, you might sell an existing Member an additional item (without affecting their current Membership plan). | |

| 91 | 88 | |
| 92 | -== Translations == | |
| 89 | +🤖 Not needed to know any PHP code or be a developer. Only code needed is copy-paste wp shortcodes, like for the paypal buttons... But is also developer-friendly to customize your installation if wanted. | |
| 93 | 90 | |
| 94 | -s2Member and s2Member Pro are now equipped with support for front-end translation, using standardized WordPress® methodologies; i.e. we've implemented the use of `_x()`, and various other translation routines for many aspects of s2Member's front-end interfaces. For instance, things like Profile panels, Login/Registration Fields, and Pro Form integrations; as well as error messages displayed to Users/Members. Translation support for back-end admin panels provided by s2Member will come in a future release, along with more extensive translation support for front-end aspects. | |

| 98 | -Like WordPress® itself, we chose to use the GNU `gettext` localization framework to provide localization infrastructure for s2Member®. GNU `gettext` is a mature, widely used framework for modular translation of software, and is the *de facto* standard for localization in the open source/free software realm. If you'd like to translate s2Member and/or s2Member Pro, please use the POT file found inside `/s2member/includes/translations/s2member.pot`, which contains all translation entries for both the s2Member Framework *( i.e. the free version )*, and also for s2Member Pro. | |
| 109 | +⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ _**The Best Membership Plugin** "I have built with most Membership plugins and literally dozens using S2 Pro and I can tell you, bar none it is the best of all of them. Extremely powerful, anything you might want to do it can do... I highly recommend you try it out." -[antwoords](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-membership-plugin-5/)_ | |
| 99 | 110 | |
| 100 | -The file: `/s2member/includes/translations/s2member.pot` will be updated with each new release of s2Member. | |
| 111 | +⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ _**Excellent plugin & top support** "We’ve used s2member pro on a few projects now & find it has met all our membership needs. Most impressive has been the support. Excellent communication, knowledgeable, friendly and super patient 🙂" -[aaee6](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-top-support-3/)_ | |
| 101 | 112 | |
| 102 | -If this is your first translation of a WordPress® plugin, [this article](http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#Localization_Technology) and/or [this article](http://urbangiraffe.com/articles/translating-wordpress-themes-and-plugins/), might be of some assistance. When you are finished translating the `s2member.pot` file, place your completed `s2member-[locale].mo` file into this directory: `/wp-content/plugins/`; and please feel free to [share your translation](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=4) with the rest of the s2Member® community. | |
| 113 | +⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ _**Awesome Support** "I’ve been using s2Member for 9 years... Amazing support of a high-end plugin and much appreciated. This is one of the reasons I stick with s2Member. Support has always been great!" -[graphichome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-support-712/)_ | |
| 103 | 114 | |
| 104 | -Quick Tip: If you only need to translate the front-end of s2Member, please ignore entries in the `s2member.pot` file with a context matching `s2member-admin`. Those sections of s2Member are only seen by site Administrators; they are NOT used in s2Member's front-end integration with WordPress®. Skipping over translation entries with a context matching `s2member-admin` can save you time. | |
| 115 | +⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ _**Wonderful Support** "Above and beyond. I’ve used this plugin for over ten years with various clients and whenever I need help, they’ve helped find a solution." -[germars](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wonderful-support-68/)_ | |

| 140 | 142 | |
| 141 | -= How does s2Member protect content from public access? = | |
| 142 | -s2Member allows you to protect Pages, Posts, Tags, Categories, URIs, URI word fragments, URI Replacement Codes for BuddyPress, Specific Post/Page Access ( Buy Now! ), and even portions of content within Posts/Pages/themes/plugins using Simple ( Shortcode ) or Advanced ( PHP ) Conditionals. Everything is configurable through the s2Member Options Panel. This makes s2Member VERY easy to integrate into any WordPress® site. With s2Member, you can also protect downloadable files, using special restrictions on how many downloads can occur within a certain amount of time. Each Membership Level can have different restrictions ( even Custom Capability Packages ). You can also integrate Conditionals within your content based on Capabilities. Both Simple and Advanced code samples are provided under `s2Member -> API Scripting`. | |
| 143 | += Is s2Member compatible with Multisite Networking? = | |
| 143 | 144 | |
| 144 | -= Does s2Member support an account approval process? = | |
| 145 | -s2Member does not come with an approval system. That being said, what many site owners do, is they allow Free Registration ( i.e. Open Registration: `on` ). This allows visitors to register for free at Level #0, which just gives them an account. After a manual review of Level #0 accounts, an Administrator can upgrade them to Level #1 or higher; granting them access to content you've protected at those higher Levels. So the trick is to protect your content at Level #1 or higher, then allow Open Registration at Level #0. In other words, Level #0 Members will just have an account, but not actually have access to anything until you increase their Membership Level from the default Level #0. If you would like to display a custom message ( i.e. "Your account is pending review." ), you can use s2Member's Simple Conditionals to detect a Customer's Membership Level, and to display an appropriate message on your Login Welcome Page. For further details on Simple/Advanced Conditionals, please check your Dashboard under `s2Member -> API Scripting -> Simple/Advanced Conditionals`. | |
| 145 | +Yes, requires s2Member Pro for Unlimited Sites. After you enable Multisite Networking, with s2Member Framework and Pro active, navigate to `s2Member → Multisite (Config)` in the Dashboard on your Main Site. | |
| 146 | 146 | |
| 147 | -= Does s2Member provide an API that I can connect to? = | |
| 148 | -Yes, s2Member provides many *Advanced Scripting* techniques that are fully documented within its option panels. Code samples are provided for everything. There are several API functions that you can use, along with s2Member API Constants. This allows you to access many parts of its functionality, as well as specific Member information. Theme designers are welcome to integrate their themes/plugins with s2Member using the code samples that we provide under `s2Member -> API Scripting`. s2Member even provides API Notifications, which are an added layer of functionality. These are not to be confused with the IPN service. s2Member API Notifications make it easier to integrate back-office routines, affiliate programs, list servers, or any other 3rd-party application that should react to certain events. | |
| 147 | +== Screenshots == | |
| 149 | 148 | |
| 150 | -= Is s2Member compatible with Quick Cache or WP Super Cache? = | |
| 151 | -Yes, there were some bugs in the beginning, but they have been fixed now. Both Quick Cache and WP Super Cache will remain compatible with s2Member. We have integrated two internal Constants that prevent these plugins from caching important Members Only areas of your site, no matter what your cache configuration might be. The two Constants are: `DONOTCACHEPAGE` and `QUICK_CACHE_ALLOWED = false`. We recommend Quick Cache over WP Super Cache though; simply because we actually developed Quick Cache, and we've done more extensive testing with the s2Member/Quick-Cache combination. | |

| 159 | +**NOTICE:** For help with s2Member Pro, please use [our forum](http://s2member.com/r/forum/). | |
| 160 | + | |
| 153 | 161 | = Is s2Member compatible with Multisite Networking? = |
| 154 | -Yes. s2Member, and also s2Member Pro, are both compatible with Multisite Networking enabled. After you enable Multisite Networking, install the s2Member plugin. Then navigate to `s2Member -> Multisite ( Config )` in the Dashboard on your ( Main Site ). | |
| 155 | 162 | |
| 156 | -= Is s2Member compatible with the BuddyPress plugin for WordPress? = | |
| 157 | -Yes it is. In fact, we must say... the s2Member/BuddyPress combination is just awesome. These two plugins running together make all sorts of things possible. | |
| 163 | +Yes, s2Member Pro for Unlimited Sites is compatible with Multisite Networking. After you enable Multisite Networking, with s2Member Framework and Pro enabled, navigate to `s2Member → Multisite (Config)` in the Dashboard on your Main Site. | |
| 158 | 164 | |
| 159 | -= How does s2Member know when to demote a paid Member to a Free Subscriber? = | |
| 160 | -s2Member uses its built-in Auto-EOT System. EOT = End Of Term. Whenever you generate a PayPal® Button with s2Member, you'll configure a length for the Subscription. Depending on the type of Subscription you choose ( recurring, non-recurring, lifetime, or fixed-term ); s2Member will either use PayPal's IPN/`subscr_payment,subscr_cancel,subscr_eot` notices, or it will set an Automatic EOT Time, which is processed automatically by s2Member via WP_Cron. For each Member, you can also override the EOT Time, by forcing a specific expiration date. To manually adjust the EOT Time for a specific Member, go to: `WordPress® -> Users`, and click the Edit link next the Member you want to work on. | |
| 165 | += Where can I find more information? = | |
| 161 | 166 | |
| 162 | -= How can I see more of what's going on behind-the-scene? = | |
| 163 | -s2Member comes with very sophisticated logging routines for PayPal®. One for its PayPal® IPN communication ( and resulting actions ). Another logs Return-Data processing. Another logs PayPal® API communication ( i.e. for dynamic Button Encryption, if enabled; and/or for the s2Member Pro add-on communication with the PayPal® Pro API ). You can enable all of these logging routines, by going to: `s2Member -> PayPal® Options -> Account Details -> Logging`. | |

| 165 | -= When a User/Member is demoted by the Auto-EOT System, are Custom Capabilities removed too? = | |
| 166 | -Yes, whenever a User/Member is demoted, s2Member resets their account back to a Free Subscriber. Any Custom Capabilities the Member had, will be removed. | |
| 173 | += Translating s2Member = | |
| 167 | 174 | |
| 168 | -= When a User/Member upgrades, are existing Custom Capabilities preserved? = | |
| 169 | -No, by default, s2Member will reset their Custom Capabilities to the ones listed in the Payment Button/Form that initiates the upgrade. However, starting with s2Member v3.5+, it is now possible to start your list of Custom Capabilities with a `+` sign. This tells s2Member to (ADD) a comma-delimited list of new Custom Capabilities to any that may, or may not, already exist for a given Member. So this behavior can now be modified during Button/Form generation with s2Member. | |
| 175 | +Please see: <http://s2member.com/r/translations/> | |
| 170 | 176 | |
| 171 | -= Can s2Member implement a Captcha Code on my Login/Registration Forms? = | |
| 172 | -Yes and no. We've left this feature out of the plugin intentionally, because many site owners prefer to use Captcha plugins that encompass all aspects of their site ( including comment forms ). We recommend this one: [SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/). That being said, [s2Member's Pro Forms](http://www.s2member.com/) for PayPal® Pro and Authorize.Net® ( including Free Registration Forms ) CAN be configured to use Google's reCAPTCHA service. Just add this Attribute to any Pro Form Shortcode ( `captcha="clean"` ). For further details, please check your Dashboard under: `s2Member -> PayPal® Pro Forms -> Shortcode Attributes ( explained )`. | |

| 179 | 182 | |
| 180 | 183 | == Changelog == |
| 181 | 184 | |
| 182 | -= v111029 = | |
| 183 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Compatibility**. s2Member Pro now supports automatic upgrades through filesystem methdologies, other than `direct`. For further details, please see [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15283#p49034). | |
| 184 | -* (s2Member) **Bug fix**. A bug in the s2Member framework was causing some IPNs with `txn_type = recurring_payment_suspended_due_to_max_failed_payment` to get bypassed inadvertently. Fixed in this release. For further details, please see [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6204&p=48246#p48361). | |
| 185 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. A bug in s2Member Pro's AliPay® integration was causing an error `could not find existing User ID`. Fixed in this release. For further details, please see [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15569&p=49044#p48604). | |
| 186 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. A bug in s2Member Pro's AliPay® integration was causing issues in duplicate IPNs received from AliPay®. Fixed in this release. | |
| 187 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Compatibility**. File Downloads. s2Member now considers server software environments before chunking file downloads, avoiding issues with partially corrupted files on some hosting platforms. In addition, s2Member is now capable of falling back on a flushed delivery method so it can continue to avoid memory issues on shared hosting accounts, even when `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` is not possible. These improvements allow s2Member to remain compatible in edge cases. Such as when running on Litespeed and/or Windows servers; or on shared hosting platforms that have fewer resources available. | |
| 188 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. Automatic upgrader failing on `copy` command when running at HostGator. Fixed in this release. | |
| 189 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Security fix**. The `/s2member-files/` directory *(with newly updated Mod Rewrite rules in its .htaccess file)* was allowing directory indexing inadvertently, on some servers. This was a low-level vulnerability, because although directory indexing was possible, protected file access was not. Fixed in this release. For further details, please see [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15665&p=48984&hilit=next+release#p48984). | |
| 190 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. A bug related to the `init()` Hook firing an early call to `c_ws_plugin__s2member_systematics::is_wp_systematic_use_page()` was identified. Fixed in this release. One symptom of this bug was for Users/Members to have trouble accessing a BuddyPress registration form after having paid for Membership, under the right scenario. | |
| 191 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **New API Functions**. New API Functions: `s2member_shorten_url()`, `s2member_user_downloads()`, `s2member_total_downloads_of()`, and `s2member_total_unique_downloads_of()`. For further details, please check the [s2Member Codex](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=12455). | |
| 192 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Routine maintenance**. Some code optimization, some cleanup, and some organizational improvements in preparation for new features in a coming release. | |
| 193 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **WordPress® 3.3-beta2**. Compatibility updates. CSS tweaks, JavaScript tweaks and other considerations for the coming release of WordPress® 3.3. | |
| 185 | += v260927 = | |
| 194 | 186 | |
| 195 | -= v111017 = | |
| 196 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. s2Member now works around a known bug in PHP, related to the `parse_url()` function. For further details, please see [this PHP bug report](https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38143). | |
| 197 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Compatibility**. Improvements to s2Member's `wp_mail()` conformity, related to the reducton of `"Name" <email>` to just `email`. This release should work to further improve email deliverability in edge cases, particulary on sites running an SMTP mail plugin. | |
| 198 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Compatibility**. Improvements to s2Member's JW Player® integration. s2Member now prevents `unreserved chars`, i.e. `array ("-", ".", "_", "~")` from being URL-encoded in file download URLs, maximizing compatibility with many media players, including JW Player®. In previous releases, JW Player® would randomly fail on some RTMP streams with error `Stream Not Found`. Fixed in this release. For further details, see [RFC 3896](http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3986.html). | |
| 199 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Compatibility**. Initial testing against WordPress v3.3-beta1. Looks pretty good. A few minor cosmetic issues still need to be addressed in a future release of s2Member though. | |
| 200 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Compatibility**. Tested against BuddyPress v1.5.1. Updated s2Member to support `$bp->maintenance_mode`, and other cases where `bp_core_loaded` is NOT fired at all. | |
| 201 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Routine maintenance**. Some code optimization, some cleanup, and some organizational improvements in preparation for new features in a coming release. | |
| 202 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. Edge case identified where the `/s2member-o.php` file was failing to fallback on full WordPress®. Fixed in this release. | |
| 187 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Improved Stripe 3D Secure recovery when browser and webhook processing overlap, or when the browser loses the final checkout response after successful authentication. s2Member now reconciles those recovery paths using the saved checkout state so successful signups can finish correctly without repeating fulfillment. Thanks to Felix for reporting it. See [thread #13627](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13627). | |
| 203 | 188 | |
| 204 | -= v111011 = | |
| 205 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. An array to string conversion error was found in Profile editing panels whenever a multi-option Select Menu was created as a Custom Registration/Profile Field with s2Member. Fixed in this release. For further details, please see [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15416&p=44801#p45169). | |
| 206 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Email recipients / compatibility fix**. A bug found by an s2Member Pro customer, related to PHP's `mail()` function in PHP 5.2 < 5.2.11 was preventing some email messages from being processed properly. Fixed in this release. For further details, see [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14957#p45222) and/or [this PHP bug report](https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28038) please. | |
| 207 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. s2Member was redirecting logged-in Users/Members to the Download Limit Exceeded Page whenever an attempt to download a file was made by a User/Member with access at a Level that was NOT allowed to access files period. s2Member should have been redirecting these specific requests to the Membership Options Page instead, with MOP Vars included. Fixed in this release. For further details, please see [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15367#p45122). | |
| 208 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Documentation updates**. s2Member's built-in Dashboard documentation has been updated in several places. This should work to further help site owners that are new to s2Member. In addition, s2Member's inline documentation now includes tips for integrating BuddyPress, when/if BuddyPress is installed and activated in your WordPress® installation. | |
| 209 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Logging**. s2Member now adds the currently installed version of PHP to its log entries, if logging is enabled by the site owner. | |
| 210 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **AWeber**. A bug was found in s2Member's AWeber integration. When/if you configured s2Member NOT to collect First/Last Names, the email subscription request was not being parsed properly on the AWeber side of things, due to a regex issue in their built-in PayPal Email Parser. Fixed in this release. In addition, s2Member has built a Custom Email Parser for AWeber, which is optional, but definitely recommended. Please see [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=15496) for further details. | |
| 211 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. A bug was found in s2Member's email configuration routine, which made it possible *( based on other plugin combinations running in concert with s2Member )*, for s2Member to drop existing `mail_from` values configured by other plugins, which may have resulted in delivery failures, particularly when/if a site was configured to use an external SMTP server, which MAY require that your `From:` header reference a specific address, one that is directly associated with your external SMTP account. Fixed in this release. In addition, please be advised that if you run an SMTP mail plugin with WordPress®, you should be sure to configure your `s2Member -> General Options -> Email Configuration` with a valid `From:` address *( i.e. one matching your SMTP configuration perhaps )*. Most free SMTP servers, such as Gmail/Yahoo, require that your `From:` header match the email address associated with your account. Please check with your SMTP service provider before attempting to configure plugins like s2Member to use a different `From:` address when sending email messages. For further details, please check your Dashboad, under: `s2Member -> General Options -> Email Configuration`. | |
| 212 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **MailChimp®/AWeber® list transitioning**. s2Member's list transitioning routine ( an optional feature ) has been further optimized and improved. In addition, it is now possible to force the transition of Users/Members from one set of lists to another, even when s2Member is unable to remove them from an existing list. For further details, please check your Dashboard under: `s2Member -> API List Servers -> Automate Unsubscribe / Opt-Outs`. | |
| 213 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Reset or lock-in Roles/Capabilities**. A new development tool is available in your Dashboard, which makes it possible for developers to reset and/or lock-in the Roles/Capabilities associated with s2Member. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> General Options -> Membership Levels/Labels`. | |
| 214 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Routine maintenance**. Some code optimization, some cleanup, and some organizational improvements in preparation for new features in a coming release. | |
| 189 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Improved Gateway Checkout state handling so concurrent recovery paths can safely patch independent checkout data and explicitly reload newly committed state without stale request-local cache values. | |
| 215 | 190 | |
| 216 | -= v111003 = | |
| 217 | -* (s2Member) **Bug fix**. Fatal `eval()` error inside: `/includes/classes/no-cache.inc.php`. Fixed in this release. | |
| 191 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Improved Stripe subscription recovery for new customers when payment authentication continues after the initial Pro-Form request. s2Member now keeps the pending WordPress account linked to the checkout, allowing browser or webhook recovery to complete the correct signup without losing its account association. | |
| 218 | 192 | |
| 219 | -= v111002 = | |
| 220 | -* (s2Member) **BuddyPress v1.5 fix**. Issues with BuddyPress v1.5 and s2Member's URI Restrictions; corrected in this release. Hook priority updated, and `template_redirect` converted to `wp` at priority `2`, giving s2Member the ability to integrate with BuddyPress v1.5 properly in all scenarios. | |
| 221 | -* (s2Member) **tinyURL® bug fix**. s2Member's handling of potential failures in the output of tinyURLs, generated by the tinyURL® API; was NOT considering all failure possibilities. A symptom of this bug was to see URLs in your Signup Confirmation Email (occassionally, upon connection failure to the tinyURL® API, when it was down for whatever reason) starting with: `Error#`. Corrected in this release. | |
| 222 | -* (s2Member) **URL Shortening API (Preference)**. s2Member now includes a class method dedicated to URL shortening service APIs. Currently, s2Member will use the tinyURL® API first *(i.e. tinyurl.com )*, and then use the Google® URL Shortening API *(i.e. goo.gl )* as a backup when/if the tinyURL® API is down for whatever reason. In this release, a new configurable option is available, which allows advanced site owners to preference the Google® Shortening API over tinyURL®, if they desire. It is also possible to integrate your own custom GET request, for whichever service you prefer. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> General Options -> URL Shortening API (Preference)`. | |
| 223 | -* (s2Member) **Bug fix**. Bug first introduced in s2Member v110912. s2Member's new optimized method of loading its CSS/JS was causing some problems on a few Windows® server environments. In some cases, s2Member was unable to properly identify itself through the `/s2member-o.php` file, given limitations of the core WordPress® function `plugin_basename()`. A symptom of this bug was for s2Member to fail at loading its CSS/JS libraries. Fixed in this release. | |
| 224 | -* (s2Member) **Security fix**. It was possible for some of s2Member's code sample files to be executed directly. Not a proven vulnerability, but definitely NOT a good idea to allow this either. Fixed in this release, by renaming all `.php` files inside the `/includes/menu-pages/code-samples/` directory. These files now have a `.x-php` extension. As an additional line of defense, a new `.htaccess` file with `deny from all` is automatically placed inside the main `/s2member/includes/` directory. None of these files should be available pulicly anyway. s2Member's exsiting `realpath()` file scans remain in place too, which further prevents the direct execution of `.php` files. | |
| 193 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** In a rare Stripe pending-payment recovery case, membership processing could already be complete while the original checkout request still saw an older cached copy of the member's data and continued showing a processing state. s2Member now refreshes that data before deciding whether fulfillment has completed. | |
| 225 | 194 | |
| 226 | -= v110927 = | |
| 227 | -* (s2Member) **BuddyPress v1.5 compatibility**. Misc tweaks. | |
| 228 | -* (s2Member) **Documentation improvements**. New documentation covering Shortcode Attributes and API Function parameters for the new `[s2File /]` Shortcode, and for the new API Function `s2member_file_download_url()`. Please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> Download Options -> Shortcode Attributes / API Functions ( Explained )`. | |
| 195 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Stripe one-time (Buy Now) Pro-Form purchases requiring 3D Secure could lose the password entered during the initial checkout when the form resumed after authentication. s2Member now keeps the same pending WordPress account through authentication and completes it with the password the customer originally chose. | |
| 229 | 196 | |
| 230 | -= v110926 = | |
| 231 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **BuddyPress v1.5**. Updated for compatibility with BuddyPress v1.5. | |
| 232 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. A bug first introduced in s2Member Pro v110912 was causing problems for Pro Forms integrated on a Child Blog of Multisite Blog Farm. Fixed in this release. | |
| 233 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. Custom Registration/Profile Fields configured to require an EXACT number of characters and/or digits was NOT being handled properly by s2Member in all cases. Fixed in this release. | |
| 234 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. A bug first introduced in s2Member v110912 was causing problems with s2Member's default email customization templates. Double percent signs `%%` for Replacement Codes were being reduced by s2Member's internationalization routines, to just single percent signs `%`, thereby nullifying them as valid Replacement Codes. Fixed in this release. If you installed s2Member and/or s2Member Pro v110912 - v110915 on a clean installation of WordPress®, it would be a good idea to have a quick look at your email customizations with s2Member, just to make sure your Replacement Codes have double percent signs around them *( for example, this is valid: `%%registration_url%%`, and this is NOT valid: `%registration_url%` )*. | |
| 235 | -* (s2Member) **Amazon® S3/CloudFront**. s2Member is now fully integrated with Amazon® CloudFront, in addition to its existing support for Amazon® S3. Please note, one of the greatest things about Amazon® CloudFront, is its ability to `stream/seek` media files in the truest sense of the word over the RTMP protocol. For sites delivering protected `FLV/MP4/OGG/WEBM` and other streaming audio/video file types over the RTMP protocol, Amazon® CloudFront is our recommendation. Once you've successfully configured s2Member to use both Amazon® S3 and Amazon® CloudFront together, please review this section in your Dashboard: `s2Member -> Download Options -> JW Player® & RTMP Protocol Examples`. s2Member will automatically serve your protected files over the RTMP protocol, using an Amazon® CloudFront Streaming Distribution. In fact, s2Member can even configure all of your Amazon® S3/CloudFront Distros, ACLs, and Policies automatically; making it possible for just about anyone to stream media s2Member-protected files in real-time. | |
| 236 | -* (s2Member) **s2File Shortcode**. s2Member now provides a new Shortcode: `[s2File /]`. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> Download Options -> Basic Download Restrictions`. | |
| 197 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Closed a remaining failed-3D-Secure cleanup case where Stripe.js could return an authentication error without the PaymentIntent details used by s2Member's cleanup flow. s2Member now recovers the PaymentIntent ID from the existing Stripe client secret when needed so the incomplete subscription can still be cleaned up correctly. | |
| 237 | 198 | |
| 238 | -= v110915 = | |
| 239 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. A bug first introduced in s2Member/s2Member Pro v110912+ was causing parse errors on Authorize.Net Free Regisration Forms. Fixed in this release. | |
| 199 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Failed card authentication during Stripe free-trial subscription checkout could leave the pending subscription active in a trialing state at Stripe. s2Member now cancels the incomplete subscription generation so unsuccessful authentication attempts do not leave orphaned trial subscriptions behind. | |
| 240 | 200 | |
| 241 | -= v110913 = | |
| 242 | -* (s2Member) **Compatibility**. s2Member v110912+ requires WordPress® v3.2+. | |
| 243 | -* (s2Member) **Bug fix**. A bug first introduced in s2Member v110912 related to JavaScript/CSS files not loading properly on some installations has been corrected in this release. One symptom of this bug was s2Member's failure to display Pro Form integrations properly in some cases. Another symptom may have been improper handling of Registration Form validations. | |
| 244 | -* (s2Member) **HostGator**. Tildas ( `~` ) found in some encrypted data strings were triggering `mod_security` conflicts on sites powered by HostGator. This release corrects the problem on HostGator by stripping tildas from query strings processed by s2Member. In addition, HostGator has been very helpful in white-listing the s2Member application across its entire network to prevent interruption of service. For further details, please check [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=14787#p35909). | |
| 201 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Immediately retrying a Stripe free-trial subscription with another card after failed authentication could overlap with cleanup of the previous attempt or fail to continue correctly. s2Member now safely finishes that cleanup, confirms the retried authentication when needed, and starts a fresh subscription attempt without browser and webhook recovery interfering with each other. | |
| 245 | 202 | |
| 246 | -= v110912 = | |
| 247 | -* (s2Member) **Compatibility**. This version of s2Member requires WordPress® v3.2+. | |
| 248 | -* (s2Member) **Alternative View Protections**. s2Member's Alternative View Protections are now more flexible, allowing specific types of Protections to be applied individually now, instead of in groups. In addition, there are two new types of Alternative View Protection available: Comment Feeds (new), and WordPress® Navigation Menus (new). For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Alternative View Protections`. | |
| 249 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Independent Custom Capabilities**. The integration of Independent Custom Capabilities from the last release, has now been completed for all of s2Member's Payment Gateways. In this release, we completed Independent Custom Capability integration for ClickBank®, Google® Checkout, ccBill®, and AliPay®. Independent Custom Capabilities are already possible with PayPal®, PayPal® Pro, and Authorize.Net®, from the last release. Further improvements to this aspect of s2Member Pro will come in a future release. | |
| 250 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Security**. Back-end panels for both s2Member and s2Member Pro have been updated to use `password` input fields, anywhere/everywhere sensitive data is being configured. This helps to further safeguard various API and Payment Gateway credentials on your installation of WordPress®. In other words, some sensitive data that you configure for s2Member, will now appear with just x's `xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx`, instead of the actual data that you entered; *( e.g. `password` input fields secure this information from prying eyes )*. | |
| 251 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Translation Support**. s2Member and s2Member Pro are now equipped with support for front-end translation, using standardized WordPress® methodologies; i.e. we've implemented the use of `_x()`, and various other translation routines for many aspects of s2Member's front-end interfaces. For instance, things like Profile panels, Login/Registration Fields, and Pro Form integrations; as well as error messages displayed to Users/Members. Translation support for back-end admin panels provided by s2Member will come in a future release, along with more extensive translation support for front-end aspects. | |
| 203 | +- (Pro) **Compatibility:** Improved Stripe SDK loading so s2Member does not accidentally trigger another plugin's dormant Stripe autoloader. This prevents an older Stripe library registered by another plugin from loading before s2Member Pro's bundled Stripe SDK. | |
| 204 | + | |
| 205 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Prevented a PHP warning during Stripe Buy Now checkouts for existing members when determining whether a previous recurring subscription should be cancelled. | |
| 206 | + | |
| 207 | +- (Framework) **Compatibility:** Expanded no-cache support for caching solutions that use their own page-exclusion APIs or signals in addition to the commonly supported WordPress no-cache conventions. Added explicit compatibility for LiteSpeed Cache, FlyingPress, Super Page Cache for Cloudflare, WP Fastest Cache, and Cloudflare APO, helping prevent dynamic/private s2Member pages from being cached. | |
| 208 | + | |
| 209 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** When `[s2Member-List]` used `rlc_satisfy="ANY"` with multiple Levels, Roles, or Custom Capabilities, additional filtering on the member list could cause unrelated members to appear. Membership filters are now grouped correctly, so only members matching the requested criteria are returned. Thanks to Philip for reporting this. | |
| 210 | + | |
| 211 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** PayPal IPN domain checks could fail on some server setups when the incoming request did not provide a usable domain, for example with some reverse-proxy setups where something like Nginx, Cloudflare, a load balancer, etc. sits in front of WordPress and affects the request host. s2Member now falls back to the site's configured domain when needed. | |
| 212 | + | |
| 213 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Some unexpected PayPal proxy values could cause notifications to fail and be ignored. These values are now normalized before the notification is processed. | |
| 214 | + | |
| 215 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** PayPal proxy notifications could fail on sites where their domain differs from the site's configured domain. s2Member now uses the appropriate site domain more consistently in these cases. | |
| 216 | + | |
| 217 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Corrected the timeout value passed to the Mailchimp API client, preventing an invalid HTTP stream configuration that could interfere with list subscription requests. | |
| 218 | + | |
| 219 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Avoided calling WordPress's deprecated `force_ssl_login()` helper on current WordPress versions when determining login and RPC URL schemes, preventing deprecation notices while preserving the same SSL behavior and compatibility with older WordPress versions. | |
| 220 | + | |
| 221 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Prevented PHP notices from the `[s2Member-Security-Badge /]` shortcode when the optional `v` attribute is omitted. The shortcode now applies its default badge version before validating the value. | |
| 222 | + | |
| 223 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Prevented PHP notices from the `[s2Stream /]` shortcode when the optional `player` attribute is omitted. Existing player defaults and behavior are unchanged. | |
| 224 | + | |
| 225 | +- (Framework & Pro) **UI:** Shortcode whitelist security notices are now more compact and easier to review, grouping detected user fields and template paths instead of repeating each shortcode occurrence, and listing the affected pages once with direct links. Thanks to Sherry for her feedback on these. _WP Admin > s2Member > General Options > Shortcode User Fields Whitelist_ and _Pro Shortcode Templates Whitelist_ | |
| 226 | + | |
| 227 | +- (Framework) **UI:** Corrected several PayPal Button Generator shortcode attribute descriptions to match current PayPal Checkout behavior, particularly the `output` and `image` attributes. | |
| 228 | + | |
| 229 | += v260917 = | |
| 230 | + | |
| 231 | +- (Framework) **Performance:** Further improved searching on the _WP Admin > Users_ screen, building on the performance improvements introduced in v260909. Searches across user profiles and s2Member membership data now require substantially less database work, with the biggest benefit on sites with large member databases. This can make member administration noticeably faster while preserving the same searchable fields, sorting, and pagination. | |
| 232 | + | |
| 233 | +- (Pro) **Performance:** Significantly improved `[s2Member-List]` and `[s2Member-List-Search]` performance for member directories and searches, especially on sites with larger user databases. Member searches now require substantially less database work, with much more efficient profile-field searching, filtering, sorting, and pagination. This can make large member directories noticeably faster and more responsive while preserving the shortcodes' existing Custom Field, wildcard, filtering, pagination, and sorting features. See: [s2Member-List Shortcode Documentation](https://s2member.com/kb-article/s2member-list-shortcode-documentation/). | |
| 234 | + | |
| 235 | +- (Framework) **Performance:** Improved Alternative View Protection performance on sites with larger amounts of protected content. Searches, archives, menus, widgets, and other areas where restricted content needs to be filtered now do less repeated work during each page request, helping busy pages load more efficiently while preserving the same access-control behavior. _WP Admin > s2Member > Alternative View Protection_ | |
| 236 | + | |
| 237 | +- (Pro) **Performance:** Reduced overhead when End-of-Term reminder emails are disabled. The heavier reminder processing, health, and email code is now loaded only when it is actually needed. | |
| 238 | + | |
| 239 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Security & UI:** Added a prominent admin warning for outdated s2Member Pro installations that predate the current Pro updater. The Framework now warns administrators when an old Pro version may be missing recent security fixes, shows how old the installed release is, and provides a prominent link to download the latest Pro version. The warning does not disable the installed Pro add-on or its features. | |
| 240 | + | |
| 241 | +- (Pro) **Security:** Enforced the _Shortcode User Fields Whitelist_ for `[s2Member-List]`'s `show_fields` attribute. Fields not on the whitelist are now omitted from Member Lists, with an administrator notice identifying blocked fields that may need to be allowed. _WP Admin > s2Member > General Options > Shortcode User Fields Whitelist_ | |
| 242 | + | |
| 243 | +- (Pro) **Security:** Enforced the _Pro Shortcode Templates Whitelist_. Custom templates specified with the `template` attribute are now blocked unless specifically allowed. The shortcode uses its standard template instead, and an administrator notice identifies blocked template files that may need to be allowed. _WP Admin > s2Member > General Options > Pro Shortcode Templates Whitelist_ | |
| 244 | + | |
| 245 | +- (Pro) **Improvement:** Hardened validation of PayPal Pro-Form `success` URLs used after subscription cancellation. Redirects are now limited to normal HTTP(S) destinations after replacement codes are processed, preventing executable or other non-web URL schemes from being used. Also hardened malformed programmatic `success` values to avoid PHP warnings. | |
| 246 | + | |
| 247 | +- (Framework) **Fix & UI:** Corrected Asset Health reporting when static CSS or JavaScript cannot be used because the site's current hooks or configuration require dynamic delivery. This intentional compatibility behavior is now treated as healthy instead of being reported as an unexpected fallback, and it no longer creates misleading "Latest Issues" entries. Asset Health now identifies why dynamic delivery is required, explains when the Full WordPress Dynamic Loader is necessary, and points to the "JavaScript Text Delivery" setting when it can help more pages continue using static JavaScript. | |
| 248 | + | |
| 249 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** EOT demotion traditionally replaced all of a member's WordPress roles, but some sites need to preserve unrelated roles. The new _Demote From_ setting can now remove only the member's s2Member Level role instead. New installations use this level-only behavior by default; existing installations keep the legacy replace-all behavior unless changed. Thanks to Craig for suggesting this. See: [thread #13494](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13494). | |
| 250 | + | |
| 251 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** EOT demotion normally sends members to _Subscriber / s2Member Level 0_, and using another role previously required custom code. The new _Demote To Role_ setting lets site owners choose another s2Member Level or an available custom role directly from the EOT settings. Existing customizations using the `ws_plugin__s2member_force_demotion_role` filter continue to work. | |
| 252 | + | |
| 253 | +- (Pro) **Improvement:** PayPal Checkout cancellation buttons using `output="button"` can now also use a `success=""` attribute to redirect the member after a successful subscription cancellation. If no Success URL is provided, the existing cancellation confirmation remains unchanged. Thanks to Felix for suggesting this. See: [thread #13462](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13462/7) | |
| 254 | + | |
| 255 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Added date formatting support to the `[s2Get /]` shortcode when retrieving the current user's registration timestamps. `S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_REGISTRATION_TIME` and `S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_TIME` can now use the existing `date_format` attribute (e.g., `m/d/Y`, `default`, or `timestamp`), making these timestamps easier to display as readable dates without custom PHP. Also corrected the related scripting documentation to distinguish registration day counts from Unix timestamps. Thanks to Gerard for suggesting this. See [thread #13221](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13221). | |
| 256 | + | |
| 257 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Expanded the AWS S3 region selector with several compatible regions that were missing: Canada Central (`ca-central-1`), Ohio (`us-east-2`), Mumbai (`ap-south-1`), Paris (`eu-west-3`), and Stockholm (`eu-north-1`). Sites using buckets in those regions can now select them directly. Thanks to David for the reminder. See: [thread #4706](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/4706). | |
| 258 | + | |
| 259 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Improvement:** Added some needed filters that were missing, giving developers more ways to customize s2Member emails and Tracking Codes. | |
| 260 | + | |
| 261 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Resolved PHP 8.x warnings in `[s2Member-List]` caused by optional member-query arguments, including `meta_query`, not always being present. | |
| 262 | + | |
| 263 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Prevented a fatal error in the s2Member-Only dynamic CSS/JS loader when BuddyPress is detected but its `bp_is_create_blog()` helper is unavailable. This also prevents affected sites from unnecessarily falling back to the Full WordPress Dynamic asset loader. | |
| 264 | + | |
| 265 | += v260913 = | |
| 266 | + | |
| 267 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Made frontend CSS/JavaScript monitoring less impatient on sites where expected assets take a little longer to become active. Although the monitor already waited until the page had fully loaded before checking, some setups make their CSS/JavaScript become active a little later, which could cause a false alarm. This has now been fixed. Thanks to Gerard for reporting this. See: [thread #13609](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13609) | |
| 268 | + | |
| 269 | +- (Framework) **Enhancement:** Expanded the frontend CSS/JavaScript monitoring introduced in the previous release into a new "CSS/JS Asset Health" system. The earlier monitoring layer is now smarter, more patient, more informative, more self-healing, quieter when the administrator does not need to intervene, and still designed to stay lightweight during normal frontend traffic. | |
| 270 | + - **New overall health status:** "CSS/JS Asset Health" monitors frontend assets, including the Pro add-on's assets when installed, keeps track of recent delivery results, and summarizes the current situation as "Healthy", "Recent issue", "Working, review suggested", or "Needs attention" instead of reacting to every individual hiccup in isolation. | |
| 271 | + - **More patient, configurable checks:** The original monitor checked whether expected assets had become active 1 second after the page finished loading. The default wait is now 3 seconds, and the new "Wait Before Checking Frontend Assets" setting lets site owners adjust that delay for setups where optimization, caching, networking, or other conditions make assets become active a little later. | |
| 272 | + - **Smarter issue handling:** A single delayed or uncertain result no longer needs to become an immediate administrator problem. Asset Health considers both how recent and how persistent problems are, and can return to "Healthy" as normal loads continue. | |
| 273 | + - **More resilient automatic recovery:** If an enabled static asset file unexpectedly disappears, s2Member will try to rebuild it automatically the moment the problem is encountered instead of waiting for the administrator to refresh it manually. Assets that need rebuilding can also be recovered during normal admin activity, avoiding an extra rebuild during a frontend page-load when possible, and relevant settings changes can trigger affected assets to be rebuilt immediately, too. | |
| 274 | + - **Clearer diagnostics:** The new Asset Health panel shows each CSS/JavaScript asset and its current delivery state, including "Healthy", "Late", "Fallback", "Failed", "Not generated yet", and "Pending rebuild", with plain-language details when more information is useful. A persistent "Last issue" reminder and compact "Latest Issues" log preserve useful troubleshooting details, including affected frontend URLs, occurrence times, and repeated occurrences, with controls to clear them when they are no longer useful. | |
| 275 | + - **Fallback visibility:** Asset Health understands s2Member's existing automatic fallback behavior, distinguishes successful delivery from successful fallback, and shows when the preferred delivery method could not be used but a compatible fallback kept the asset working. It can also show when the fallback itself is unavailable, even while the preferred delivery method is still working, so the administrator knows that the safety net needs attention before it's needed. | |
| 276 | + - **More useful administrator notices:** Short-lived issues are given time to recover without unnecessary warnings. When a problem persists long enough to deserve attention, or is serious enough to require attention sooner, s2Member can show a compact administrator notice explaining the affected asset and link directly to the "CSS/JS Asset Health" section for review. | |
| 277 | + - **Manual recovery and rechecking:** The "Refresh Static Assets" button rebuilds the enabled static files, while the "Recheck Asset Health" button performs a fresh check of the current delivery setup. Refreshing static assets also rechecks their health automatically afterward. | |
| 278 | + - **Performance-conscious health tracking:** Frontend page-loads save small, independent Asset Health records without waiting for the shared health history to be updated. Those events are merged into the rolling history separately and in chronological order, preserving delayed reports and recent-issue details without making normal frontend page-loads wait on Asset Health bookkeeping. | |
| 279 | + | |
| 280 | +- (Framework) **UI:** Refined the CSS/JavaScript delivery controls and status presentation. Renamed the beta section to "CSS/JS Delivery & Optimization (Beta)", improved the shared health-status colors used across s2Member status sections, clarified help text and status explanations, and corrected the disabled "Refresh Static Assets" button so it remains visibly disabled when unavailable because static assets are not enabled or a configuration change needs to be saved first. | |
| 281 | + | |
| 282 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Corrected a compatibility issue that could cause a PHP fatal error when another plugin printed WordPress scripts unusually early, before s2Member had finished initializing. s2Member now handles that early script output safely. Thanks to Sim Architect for reporting it. | |
| 283 | + | |
| 284 | +- (Pro) **Improvement:** EOT Reminder failure notices are now more actionable. Reminder Status can identify the oldest failing recipient and, when available, the related WordPress user. Persistent admin warnings can now be dismissed for the current incident, while retry and failure details remain available in the _EOT Reminder Status_ section. A materially new or escalated critical reminder problem will alert administrators again. Thanks to Matt for reporting this. | |
| 285 | + | |
| 286 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Fix:** Restored compatibility with WordPress 4.2–4.3 by replacing uses of `wp_parse_url()`, which wasn't introduced until WordPress 4.4. | |
| 287 | + | |
| 288 | += v260909 = | |
| 289 | + | |
| 290 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Major Improvement:** Until now, s2Member normally generated CSS/JS assets dynamically because some of their contents can change depending on the visitor or other conditions. Dynamic generation requires PHP and WordPress to load before each file can be built. s2Member can now build in advance the parts that don't change and whose contents are shared across all visitors, and save them as static files, allowing the web server to return them directly without loading WordPress for each request. In our tests, static requests were consistently more than 100× faster than dynamic delivery, helping pages load faster while reducing server work. See _WP Admin > s2Member > General Options > Performance & Caching > Static CSS/JS Optimization (beta)_. | |
| 291 | + - **Flexible opt-in controls:** Enable static CSS, static JavaScript, or both. The existing _CSS/JS Lazy Loading_ option still controls which pages load s2Member's files. | |
| 292 | + - **Better caching for logged-in users:** Most of s2Member's JavaScript is the same for everyone, so it can now be shared and cached instead of being rebuilt separately for each visitor. Personal/member-specific values stay with the WordPress page and are never stored in reusable static files. This lets logged-in and logged-out visitors reuse the same shared JavaScript more effectively across page views. | |
| 293 | + - **Pro and gateway support:** Pro core and enabled-gateway CSS and JavaScript can use the same static delivery, combining, and minification options. | |
| 294 | + - **Flexible static asset delivery:** Static Framework and Pro assets can be kept separate for more granular caching, refreshing, and monitoring, or combined into one CSS file and one JavaScript file to minimize the number of requests. | |
| 295 | + - **Optional automatic minification:** Generated CSS and JavaScript can also be minified automatically. Smaller files take less time and bandwidth to download, helping pages load faster, especially on slower connections. | |
| 296 | + - **Multilingual-site optimization:** Sites that change language between pages or visitors can reuse the same static JavaScript file across languages. s2Member loads translated messages and other page-varying values with each WordPress page instead, while personal/member details always remain page-specific and are never stored in reusable static files. Single-language sites can keep more site-wide values in the static JavaScript file for maximum efficiency. | |
| 297 | + - **Reliable automatic fallback:** Static delivery is an optimization, not a requirement for the site to keep working. If a static file cannot be used, rebuilt, or delivered correctly, s2Member automatically falls back to a compatible dynamic delivery method instead of serving a stale or broken asset. | |
| 298 | + - **Targeted refreshes and recovery:** When relevant settings change, s2Member refreshes only the affected static files. During normal WordPress admin use, s2Member also checks that active generated files are still available and working. If a problem is confirmed, it can fall back safely, show an administrator warning, and provide a Refresh Static Assets control to recreate the files. | |
| 299 | + - **Troubleshooting and event logging:** When s2Member logging is enabled, a dedicated `css-js.log` records important CSS/JavaScript delivery events such as generation and refreshes, configuration changes, loader or delivery problems, automatic fallbacks and recoveries, browser-reported runtime issues, and stale-file cleanup, without logging routine page loads. | |
| 300 | + - **Safer plugin updates:** s2Member keeps its generated static JavaScript synchronized with the installed Framework and Pro versions. If an older generated file no longer matches the current plugin files, s2Member rebuilds it or falls back safely instead of risking broken JavaScript after an update. | |
| 301 | + - **Cache-safe cleanup:** Recently replaced static files are kept temporarily so visitors can still load pages cached with an older file URL. Older unused generations are cleaned up automatically, preventing the generated-assets directory from growing indefinitely. | |
| 302 | + | |
| 303 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Improvement:** Added a choice of loaders for dynamically generated CSS and JavaScript. The Lightweight s2Member Loader remains the default and avoids loading more of WordPress than necessary for better performance. A WordPress Loader option is also available, loading WordPress normally for these asset requests on sites where the server or security software blocks direct s2member-o.php requests. Configure it from _WP Admin > s2Member > General Options > Performance & Caching > Dynamic CSS/JS Loader_. See [Mod Security (Odd 403, 503, 500 Errors)](https://s2member.com/kb-article/mod-security-odd-403-503-500-errors/) | |
| 304 | + | |
| 305 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Fix:** Due to an earlier change in WordPress, s2Member's dynamic CSS and JavaScript loader could end up loading more of WordPress than necessary, making those files slower to load. Its original lightweight loading behavior has now been restored. See: [s2Member-Only Mode](https://s2member.com/kb-article/s2member-only-mode/) | |
| 306 | + | |
| 307 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Added a shared checkout recovery system that lets supported gateways preserve an in-progress checkout across requests, prevent overlapping processing, and recognize a checkout that already completed even if the browser lost the final response. Recovery information can be retained securely for up to 7 days by default, providing a common foundation for safer retry and recovery behavior across payment gateways. | |
| 308 | + | |
| 309 | +- (Pro) **Improvement:** PayPal Checkout Pro-Forms now keep a durable checkout identity across reloads, back/forward navigation, and interrupted browser requests. This gives s2Member a reliable way to reconnect the customer with the same PayPal checkout already in progress, while remaining compatible with older in-progress recovery state during the transition. | |
| 310 | + | |
| 311 | +- (Pro) **Security:** Hardened password handling across Pro-Forms as part of the new checkout recovery protections. Submitted passwords are not carried into reusable PayPal Checkout recovery state or repopulated if the form has to be shown again after submission. If an interrupted checkout is later recovered without the original browser session, WordPress's secure set-password flow is used instead. | |
| 312 | + | |
| 313 | +- (Pro) **Security:** Hardened Specific Post/Page checkout recovery by minimizing the form data saved for interrupted-checkout recovery. Sensitive payment fields are explicitly excluded from saved recovery state, adding an extra safeguard against unexpected checkout data being retained. | |
| 314 | + | |
| 315 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Significantly extended Stripe Pro-Form duplicate-billing protection for interrupted or retried checkouts. If a reload, interrupted request, lost response, or 3D Secure retry leaves an existing Stripe payment or subscription in progress, s2Member now preserves enough checkout state to find and resume that same payment or subscription instead of accidentally starting another one. This extends the duplicate-charge protection added in v260829 to several additional failure and recovery paths. See [thread 13589](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13589). | |
| 316 | + | |
| 317 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Improved handling when a successful Stripe Pro-Form checkout completes on the server but the final confirmation never reaches the customer. Because the form can still appear unfinished, the customer may submit it again even though Stripe already completed the payment. Successful checkout results are now retained server-side so s2Member can recognize the completed checkout and resume from the saved result instead of treating the retry as a new payment attempt. | |
| 318 | + | |
| 319 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Strengthened duplicate-subscription protection in PayPal Checkout Pro-Forms. Subscriptions are now created server-side and recorded before browser approval continues, so reloads, lost PayPal responses, interrupted callbacks, and retries can recover and reuse the subscription already created at PayPal instead of creating another one. | |
| 320 | + | |
| 321 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Corrected PayPal Checkout subscription activation handling so membership access is not granted while PayPal still considers the subscription pending approval. s2Member now waits for PayPal to confirm activation, and can recover that confirmation through PayPal's webhook if the browser response is lost or delayed. | |
| 322 | + | |
| 323 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Added comprehensive recovery for interrupted or delayed PayPal Checkout one-time payments. s2Member now keeps track of both the PayPal order and its payment capture, safely handles lost or ambiguous responses, keeps access pending until PayPal confirms the payment completed, and can later recover a completed payment through either the browser or PayPal's webhook without attempting a second capture. The recovery state is also kept deliberately minimal without retaining sensitive checkout data. | |
| 324 | + | |
| 325 | +- (Framework) **Performance:** Reduced overhead in high-frequency query and capability checks by bypassing hook and filter setup when nothing is registered and avoiding unnecessary construction of hook context variables, while preserving registered callbacks and WordPress `all` hook compatibility. Screens and operations that perform many capability checks, such as the WordPress Users list, can benefit especially from these savings. | |
| 326 | + | |
| 327 | +- (Framework) **Performance:** Reduced database overhead during page loads by eliminating repeated access-restriction database queries within the same request, reusing the initial lookup result. | |
| 328 | + | |
| 329 | +- (Pro) **Improvement:** The Pro updater now handles version mismatches more clearly when the latest Pro release is ahead of the installed Framework. It recommends updating the Framework first, or links to the [Release Archive](https://s2member.com/release-archive/) for a matching Pro version when staying on the current Framework. | |
| 330 | + | |
| 331 | +- (Pro) **Performance:** Moved checks for available Pro updates to a background task. The latest available Pro version is now saved locally and reused for up to a day when deciding whether to show the Pro Updater. This way, slow Pro availability checks or connection problems can't delay frontend or admin page loads. After Framework updates, a fresh background check keeps compatibility information current. | |
| 332 | + | |
| 333 | +- (Pro) **Performance:** Moved the Pro server environment details collection to a background task, so it can't delay normal admin page loads. | |
| 334 | + | |
| 335 | +- (Pro) **Performance:** Eliminated repeated cron and transient housekeeping during normal page loads when End-of-Term reminders are disabled, moving the necessary cleanup to settings changes and stale background callbacks. | |
| 336 | + | |
| 337 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** End-of-Term Administrative Notes in the user's profile now use the level custom names when the "Force WordPress to use your Labels" setting is enabled. Also, if a user is already in the configured demotion role, the note now says so instead of recording a "role change" to the same role. | |
| 338 | + | |
| 339 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Solved a remaining PayPal cancellation EOT issue when stored IPN Signup Vars are completely missing. An older subscription check could prevent the newer PayPal lookup from running, causing the EOT to fall back to an incorrect one-day period. s2Member now uses PayPal's next billing date when available. Thanks to Felix for reporting this. See [thread 13462](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13462). | |
| 340 | + | |
| 341 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Improved Automatic End-of-Term health warnings on low-traffic sites. A delayed WP-Cron event, which can happen when there have been few or no site visitors to trigger it, is now shown as an Attention item without triggering the admin warning by itself, while missing cron or an actual overdue EOT backlog still triggers the stronger warning. EOT warning links also now open the relevant settings panel and jump directly to the affected setting. | |
| 342 | + | |
| 343 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Prevented PHP warnings during some Stripe cancellation/End-of-Term processing when currency information is missing. s2Member now recovers the stored payment currency when possible, and continues processing cleanly without PHP warnings. | |
| 344 | + | |
| 345 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** In some edge cases, legacy encryption/decryption could trigger a PHP 8.5 deprecation warning for certain byte values. The byte handling is now explicitly normalized while preserving compatibility with existing encrypted data. | |
| 346 | + | |
| 347 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Redacting sensitive data in large multiline gateway/API logs could cause the regular-expression redaction step to fail and trigger PHP 8.1+ deprecation warnings. Redaction now handles large log entries more reliably. | |
| 348 | + | |
| 349 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** The bundled Mailchimp API client could trigger a PHP 8.1+ deprecation warning by passing a deprecated `null` value during query-string construction. It now uses the correct empty-string value instead, preserving the same API request behavior. | |
| 350 | + | |
| 351 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** ClickBank request processing could trigger PHP 8.1+ deprecation warnings by passing a deprecated `null` value during query-string construction. Those calls now use the correct empty-string value instead, preserving the same request behavior. | |
| 352 | + | |
| 353 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** PayPal notifications and returns could trigger PHP warnings when the optional `s2member_paypal_proxy` and `s2member_paypal_proxy_use` fields were absent. Those optional fields are now set to empty values when missing before processing, while preserving existing gateway integration behavior. | |
| 354 | + | |
| 355 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Prevented a PHP warning when processing malformed Stripe webhook payloads by validating the decoded event before accessing its ID. | |
| 356 | + | |
| 357 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Corrected an off-by-one issue in Brute Force Login Protection that allowed one additional login attempt after the configured failed-login limit had been reached. | |
| 358 | + | |
| 359 | += v260829 = | |
| 360 | + | |
| 361 | +- (Framework) **Major Improvement:** Rebuilt the Automatic End-of-Term processing engine so membership expirations are handled more reliably and promptly when due, even on busy sites or after delays, while making the system safer to administer and easier to review and troubleshoot. | |
| 362 | + - **Faster, adaptive processing:** Instead of stopping after 6 users, the new engine uses the safe processing time available in each run and adapts to current speed, allowing it to handle hundreds of users in one pass. | |
| 363 | + - **Rapid queue catch-up:** s2Member processes each member as promptly as practical after their actual EOT time is reached. If work remains, it continues about a minute later instead of waiting for the next regular 10-minute check. In our stress testing, a 1,000-user queue was processed in under 2 minutes, while the old 6-user limit would take almost 28 hours. | |
| 364 | + - **More resilient processing:** Overlapping runs are prevented, interrupted or stale runs recover cleanly, and unfinished work remains available for the next pass instead of being lost or unnecessarily delayed. | |
| 365 | + - **Safer "Delete" behavior and review:** Automatic Delete now removes membership access and moves the user account to Pending Deletion instead of permanently deleting it, preserving useful payment/subscription details for review before single/bulk deletion. Irreversible automatic deletion can still be enabled with the `ws_plugin__s2member_allow_eot_user_deletion` filter. _WP Admin > Users > Pending Deletion_ | |
| 366 | + - **New End-of-Term user lists:** Added separate Current and Previous lists with EOT Time, Last EOT, and EOT Demotion columns. Current shows users with an EOT, earliest first; Previous shows prior EOTs, most recent demotion first. Older demotion times are recovered from Administrative Notes where possible. _WP Admin > Users > End-of-Term Current / End-of-Term Previous_ | |
| 367 | + - **Better demotion history:** EOT actions, including moves to Pending Deletion, now leave more useful Administrative Notes with the role change, removed Custom Capabilities, subscription details, and the EOT that triggered the action. For example: _2026-08-31 00:03 EDT s2Member: Demoted from Level 1 to Subscriber (removed ccaps: courses). PayPal I-ABC123. EOT 2026-08-31 00:01 EDT._ | |
| 368 | + - **Visible health and automatic recovery:** A new Automatic Behavior Status shows pending and overdue EOTs, recent processing activity, the next scheduled run, and the current processing runtime, making delays and other problems visible instead of silent. s2Member repairs a missing WP-Cron schedule automatically when possible, and alerts administrators when a problem persists and needs attention. | |
| 369 | + | |
| 370 | +- (Pro) **Major Improvement:** Rebuilt the End-of-Term Reminder Email processing engine so renewal notices have a better chance of going out promptly on their intended day, even after WP-Cron delays or temporary email sending problems that could previously prevent them from being sent. | |
| 371 | + - **Fast, adaptive processing:** The new engine replaces the old 6-member limit with safe runtime-based processing, prevents overlapping runs, recovers interrupted ones, and continues about a minute later when more work remains. On our test server, 1,000 reminders were handed off through WordPress's mail system in about 42 minutes, while the old engine would need almost 28 hours. | |
| 372 | + - **Independent reminder engine:** Reminders based on stored End-of-Term dates now have their own schedule and processing engine, so they no longer depend on membership-expiration processing completing first and aren't held up by a large or stalled End-of-Term queue. | |
| 373 | + - **Forgiving timing and smart retries:** Reminder eligibility now uses calendar days, giving s2Member opportunities throughout the intended send day plus an extra recovery day in case of delays. Failed sends are retried after about 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and then every 3 hours while still eligible, with each recipient tracked independently to avoid duplicate resends. | |
| 374 | + - **Visible health and automatic recovery:** A new End-of-Term Reminder Status shows scheduling activity, recent successful delivery, and recipients currently being retried, with additional failure and recovery details when something goes wrong. s2Member repairs a missing reminder schedule when possible, retries failed recipients automatically, and alerts administrators when problems persist and need attention. | |
| 375 | + | |
| 376 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Fix:** Fixed the long-standing issue where the Automatic End-of-Term setting could appear blank when its WP-Cron event was missing. The saved setting now remains visible while s2Member reports and repairs the scheduling problem separately. | |
| 377 | + | |
| 378 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** End-of-Term renewal reminders are no longer sent when membership access ended because of a refund, payment reversal, or chargeback. These payment exceptions are now distinguished from normal membership expirations so they don't trigger inappropriate renewal notices. | |
| 379 | + | |
| 380 | +- (Pro) **Enhancement:** Modernized s2Member Pro-Forms with PayPal Checkout, using PayPal's current REST APIs and Smart Payment Buttons for off-site payments. When PayPal Checkout is enabled in s2Member, it replaces the legacy PayPal Express Checkout integration for payments completed on PayPal's site. Existing Pro-Form shortcodes work as-is (no edits required). Enable it under _WP Admin > s2Member > PayPal Options > PayPal Checkout (Beta)_. | |
| 381 | + | |
| 382 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Strengthened PayPal Checkout REST order validation, capture reliability, retry handling, and payment processing safeguards. | |
| 383 | + | |
| 384 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Better PayPal Checkout button feedback with clearer, more visible error and status messages below the button. | |
| 385 | + | |
| 386 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Better compatibility for sites using PayPal Checkout while older PayPal subscriptions remain active. Since PayPal subscriptions generally need the integration that created them, s2Member now uses the appropriate one for next payment dates, reminder emails, `[s2EOT]`, and cancellations. | |
| 387 | + | |
| 388 | +- (Framework) **Security:** Strengthened PayPal Checkout return validation and payment-flow integrity. | |
| 389 | + | |
| 390 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Improved PayPal Checkout subscription fulfillment retry handling, preventing failed payment notifications from being incorrectly marked complete and allowing browser or webhook recovery to retry safely. | |
| 391 | + | |
| 392 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** PayPal Checkout now registers all required webhook events. Existing configured webhooks are updated automatically after upgrading, adding notifications for subscription activation/updates, payment refunds/reversals, and disputes/chargebacks. | |
| 393 | + | |
| 394 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Strengthened Stripe Pro-Forms against duplicate charges from concurrent or repeated submissions of the same rendered checkout. Stripe requests now use a stable per-checkout idempotency ID, simultaneous submissions are blocked while payment processing is in progress, and a failed update to an existing PaymentIntent no longer falls through to creating another one. Thanks to DrCheap for the detailed report and investigation. See [thread 13589](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13589). | |
| 395 | + | |
| 396 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Fixed a Stripe compatibility issue that could cause `[s2Member-Profile /]` and Stripe billing-update forms to crash when retrieving an existing subscription with newer Stripe API responses/SDK behavior. Thanks to Tim Hibberd for reporting it and providing a patch. See [thread 13575](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13575). | |
| 397 | + | |
| 398 | +- (Pro) **UI:** Updated Stripe Webhook/IPN setup guidance to list all seven events s2Member handles. Sites with an existing Stripe webhook configured for selected events should make sure all seven are selected, including `charge.dispute.created`, so disputes/chargebacks can follow the configured Reversals/Disputes EOT behavior. | |
| 399 | + | |
| 400 | +- (Pro) **Improvement:** Added an optional `placeholder` attribute for Authorize.Net, PayPal, and Stripe Pro-Form Checkout Options. This allows a Pro-Form to start with a non-payable prompt instead of automatically selecting the first Checkout Option, requiring the customer to choose a real option before the full checkout form is shown. | |
| 401 | + | |
| 402 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Fix:** Improved shortcode attribute handling when editors replace straight quotes with smart/curly quotes. s2Member now also normalizes literal smart quotes so values such as `attribute=“0”` are interpreted correctly. Thanks to Vincent for reporting it. See [thread 13572](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13572). | |
| 403 | + | |
| 404 | +- (Framework) **Enhancement:** Added a hook after profile modifications are saved and s2Member refreshes the user data, allowing integrations to read freshly updated user and custom profile fields. Thanks to Craig for bringing attention to this use case. See [thread 13515](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13515). | |
| 405 | + | |
| 406 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Improvement:** Bumped PHP version compatibility up to PHP 8.5.9 after addressing the remaining deprecation notices and related compatibility issues, while maintaining support for older PHP versions. | |
| 407 | + | |
| 408 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Hardened PayPal recurring-payment handling for missing optional IPN fields and memberships without Custom Capabilities, preventing PHP warnings and deprecation notices. | |
| 409 | + | |
| 410 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Hardened gateway notification and return handlers against missing or null optional transaction fields, preventing PHP warnings and deprecation notices. | |
| 411 | + | |
| 412 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Prevented PHP warnings during registrations or membership updates when optional details (like Custom Capabilities or EOT) weren't used. | |
| 413 | + | |
| 414 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Corrected an edge case in subscription modifications where an optional EOT component could end up in the Custom Capabilities value. | |
| 415 | + | |
| 416 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Fixed PHP 8 compatibility issues in legacy OpenSSL/RSA signing and the Markdown fallback that could fail in some cases. | |
| 417 | + | |
| 418 | += v260814 = | |
| 419 | + | |
| 420 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Better s2Member Security Encryption Key handling and related guidance in the admin panel. | |
| 421 | + | |
| 422 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Hardened input validation and sanitization for the `s2Key`, `s2File`, `s2Stream`, and `s2Member-PayPal-Button` shortcodes. | |
| 423 | + | |
| 424 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Improvement:** Renamed and expanded the `s2Get` shortcode's user-field whitelist into the shared _Shortcode User Fields Whitelist_ setting, now used for `s2Get`'s `user_id` attribute and `s2Member-List`'s `show_fields` attribute. Administrators are warned when either shortcode attempts to display an un-whitelisted field's value that doesn't belong to the current user viewing the page. | |
| 425 | + | |
| 426 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Security:** Improved validation and hardened handling of serialized data throughout s2Member. | |
| 427 | + | |
| 428 | +- (Pro) **Improvement:** Hardened input validation and sanitization for the `s2Member-Login`, `s2Member-Summary`, `s2Member-Gift-Codes`, `s2Member-List`, `s2Member-List-Search-Box`, and `s2Member-Pro-ClickBank-Button` shortcodes, as well as the Pro Login Widget. | |
| 429 | + | |
| 430 | +- (Pro) **Security:** Added stricter handling for `s2Member-List`'s `show_fields` attribute. s2Member will warn administrators about detected fields that still need review. Fields not whitelisted will not be displayed. Sites using `show_fields` should review _General Options > Shortcode User Fields Whitelist_ and allow the fields their Member Lists are intended to display. | |
| 431 | + | |
| 432 | +- (Pro) **Security:** Added safer handling and a whitelist for the `template` shortcode attribute, used by the `s2Member-List`, `s2Member-List-Search-Box`, and Stripe, PayPal, and Authorize.Net Pro-Forms shortcodes. s2Member will warn administrators about detected templates that still need review. Templates not whitelisted will not be used, and the standard template will be used instead. Sites using custom templates should review _General Options > Pro Shortcode Templates Whitelist_ and allow their custom template files. | |
| 433 | + | |
| 434 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Prevented the Pro updater from offering or installing a Pro release newer than the installed s2Member Framework, avoiding compatibility issues until the Framework is updated first. | |
| 435 | + | |
| 436 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Prevented Stripe payment processing from continuing after Pro-Form validation rejects a submission, avoiding misleading Stripe card-field errors when other required form fields are missing. | |
| 437 | + | |
| 438 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Updated Stripe Pro-Forms to use the shortcode's `validate_zipcode` attribute correctly, so it can override the default setting to collect and validate the card's postal code. | |
| 439 | + | |
| 440 | += v260805 = | |
| 441 | + | |
| 442 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Replaced TinyURL-based shortening for generated Registration Access and Specific Post/Page Access URLs with new built-in s2Member short links, stored temporarily with WordPress transients. Existing TinyURL settings now use the built-in shortener automatically, avoiding TinyURL’s deprecated no-key API endpoint and extra third-party pages shown before the destination. | |
| 443 | + | |
| 444 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Better PayPal Checkout cancellation button handling when stored IPN Signup Vars are missing. s2Member now checks PayPal subscription details via API before cancellation, uses PayPal's next billing time plus the configured EOT grace period for the EOT time, and falls back to PayPal's subscription management page when a safe local cancellation cannot be completed. See [thread 13462](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13462). | |
| 445 | + | |
| 446 | +- (Framework) **Security:** Hardened the `[s2Stream]` shortcode against executable JavaScript injection by users with post-editing privileges. Attributes used to configure JW Player are sanitized and validated more strictly, and custom `player_path` values must now be explicitly whitelisted using the `ws_plugin__s2member_sc_get_stream_player_paths` filter. | |
| 447 | + | |
| 448 | +- (Framework) **Security:** Improved sanitization of sensitive data in s2Member debug logs. | |
| 449 | + | |
| 450 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Prevented a PHP 8+ fatal error during PayPal Standard PDT/IPN return handling when PayPal reports an invalid or unexpected charset. PayPal return data is now converted to UTF-8 defensively, with fallback handling when the reported charset is not accepted by `mb_convert_encoding()`. | |
| 451 | + | |
| 452 | +- (Pro) **Improvement:** Added safer handling for rare Stripe Pro-Form subscription checkouts where the first payment or setup confirmation remains pending. s2Member now delays paid-access changes until Stripe confirms the subscription is ready, helping avoid premature access while reducing the chance of confirmed Stripe subscriptions not matching s2Member access. | |
| 453 | + | |
| 454 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Fixed validation of zero-like trial period values such as `tp="0.00"`, so they are treated the same as `tp="0"` instead of being rejected as an invalid trial period. | |
| 455 | + | |
| 456 | += v260508 = | |
| 457 | + | |
| 458 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** PayPal Checkout cancellation shortcodes now keep `output="anchor"` clickable for logged-out visitors. Only `output="button"` requires the member to be logged in. See [thread 13450](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13450) | |
| 459 | + | |
| 460 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** PayPal Checkout no longer aborts if the customer's IP address changes during checkout. IP mismatches are logged, but valid checkouts continue processing. | |
| 461 | + | |
| 462 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Prevent false Auto-EOT demotions when a stored Auto-EOT time is `0`, and improve logging for invalid Auto-EOT values. See [thread 13412](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13412) | |
| 463 | + | |
| 464 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Prevented a PHP 8.1+ deprecation notice while reading registration times when the stored value is missing or false. | |
| 465 | + | |
| 466 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Improved PayPal Checkout button loading with a client-side fallback when the PayPal SDK is missing from the final page output. | |
| 467 | + | |
| 468 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Prevented deprecation notices on newer PHP versions, which could interfere with automatic login/redirects after Stripe checkout. | |
| 469 | + | |
| 470 | +- (Pro) **UI:** Improved cancellation pro-form submit button text. Cancellation forms now say “Cancel Subscription” instead of the generic “Submit Form”. See [thread 13438](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/13438) | |
| 471 | + | |
| 472 | += v260410 = | |
| 473 | + | |
| 474 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Reduced the upfront requirements for processing PayPal Standard `subscr_cancel` IPNs so valid cancellations are not ignored when supporting values are missing, stale, or non-membership-specific. | |
| 475 | + | |
| 476 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Prevent incorrect s2Member notifications in some PayPal Checkout cases where several webhooks are received about the same subscription. | |
| 477 | + | |
| 478 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Prevent duplicate processing and notifications when PayPal sends both a webhook and an IPN for the same PayPal Checkout subscription payment. | |
| 479 | + | |
| 480 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Added subscription modification cancellation support to the Framework, which was previously only available in the Pro addon. | |
| 481 | + | |
| 482 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Made subscription modification cancellation gateway-aware, preventing orphaned active subscriptions when a member starts a replacement subscription through a different gateway. | |
| 483 | + | |
| 484 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Prevented rare cases where subscription modification processing could cancel the newly created subscription by mistake. | |
| 485 | + | |
| 486 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Improved Stripe customer lookup during checkout retries by falling back to email when the stored Stripe customer ID is missing, stale, or no longer retrievable. | |
| 487 | + | |
| 488 | += v260325 = | |
| 489 | + | |
| 490 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Improved PayPal Checkout webhook idempotency to prevent duplicate processing during repeated/concurrent webhooks, while preserving normal behavior. | |
| 491 | + | |
| 492 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Resolved a PayPal IPN issue where some `subscr_cancel` notifications were ignored because the cancellation handler failed before it had fully identified the recurring subscription. | |
| 493 | + | |
| 494 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Added IPN Signup Var lookups for missing PayPal cancellation IPN values like `period1`, `period3`, `item_number`, `item_name`, and `payer_email`, preventing valid `subscr_cancel` notifications from being ignored. | |
| 495 | + | |
| 496 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Moved s2Member's translation files to `/languages`, following the WordPress standard, and updated `.mo` loading to support that directory while continuing to support the standard and legacy WordPress locations. | |
| 497 | + | |
| 498 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Hardened PayPal Standard IPN endpoint response handling and added debug logging for hosts/security layers that incorrectly return HTTP 403 after successful processing. | |
| 499 | + | |
| 500 | +- (Framework) **Enhancement:** Added `ukpostcode` as an expected-value option for Custom Registration/Profile Fields, with matching server-side and client-side validation for UK postcode input. The validation is designed to be reasonably broad, including standard UK formats and related special cases. Thanks to Gerard Earley for contributing the patch. See [thread 12200](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/12200) | |
| 501 | + | |
| 502 | +- (Framework) **Enhancement:** Added a new __General Options > s2Get Shortcode__ setting to allow `user_id` for whitelisted user fields, defaulting to current-user. Also updated the s2Get KB article accordingly. | |
| 503 | + | |
| 504 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Updated Stripe card charge and PaymentIntent requests to use `statement_descriptor_suffix` instead of `statement_descriptor`, fixing card-payment errors where Stripe no longer accepts `statement_descriptor` for card payments. | |
| 505 | + | |
| 506 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Corrected Stripe subscription checkout so resumed PaymentIntent flows no longer go through the wrong intent-status handler. | |
| 507 | + | |
| 508 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Stripe now stops cleanly after card declines, instead of continuing into secondary intent/payment-method errors. | |
| 509 | + | |
| 510 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Improved Stripe recurring-payment setup to better support future-charge authorization requirements, fixing failures in countries with stricter payment rules, including India. | |
| 511 | + | |
| 512 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Stripe now updates recurring default payment methods only after a successful intent result, instead of earlier in checkout. | |
| 513 | + | |
| 514 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Billing-update SetupIntent creation failures in Stripe now return the proper error response. | |
| 515 | + | |
| 516 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Prevent duplicate/retried Stripe webhook events from being processed more than once, including near-simultaneous retries of the same Stripe event ID | |
| 517 | + | |
| 518 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** prevent Stripe billing modification/replacement from triggering EOT behavior for the cancelled old subscription while s2Member is still updating the member account with the new subscription. | |
| 519 | + | |
| 520 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** Removed a trailing-comma syntax issue in Stripe subscription update code that could cause PHP compatibility errors on older supported PHP versions. | |
| 521 | + | |
| 522 | +- (Pro) **Fix:** s2Member now cleans up incomplete subscriptions left behind by failed 3D Secure authentication attempts during Stripe checkout, and gives the customer a more clear payment failure message. | |
| 523 | + | |
| 524 | +- (Pro) **Improvement:** Added dedicated s2 Stripe log entries for non-fatal failures while updating the default payment method after successful intent completion. | |
| 525 | + | |
| 526 | += v260312 = | |
| 527 | + | |
| 528 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Prevent a PHP 8.1+ deprecation notice from appearing above the admin Users table in some cases. | |
| 252 | 529 | |
| 253 | - Please note, this is but our first step toward internationalizing s2Member and s2Member Pro. Look for further updates/improvements to come in the future. | |
| 530 | +- (Framework) **Security:** Improved debug log sanitization. | |
| 254 | 531 | |
| 255 | - Like WordPress® itself, we chose to use the GNU `gettext` localization framework to provide localization infrastructure for s2Member®. GNU `gettext` is a mature, widely used framework for modular translation of software, and is the *de facto* standard for localization in the open source/free software realm. If you'd like to translate s2Member and/or s2Member Pro, please use the POT file found inside `/s2member/includes/translations/s2member.pot`, which contains all translation entries for both the s2Member Framework *( i.e. the free version )*, and also for s2Member Pro. | |
| 532 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** PayPal Checkout credential test and OAuth failure log entries now include client_len_hash / secret_len_hash values (length_hash, e.g. 80_4d9a7c1b2e8f4a21) to help compare attempted credentials during troubleshooting without exposing raw values. | |
| 256 | 533 | |
| 257 | - The file: `/s2member/includes/translations/s2member.pot` will be updated with each new release of s2Member. | |
| 258 | - If this is your first translation of a WordPress® plugin, [this article](http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#Localization_Technology) and/or [this article](http://urbangiraffe.com/articles/translating-wordpress-themes-and-plugins/), might be of some assistance. When you are finished translating the `s2member.pot` file, place your completed `s2member-[locale].mo` file into this directory: `/wp-content/plugins/`; and please feel free to [share your translation](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=4) with the rest of the s2Member® community. | |
| 534 | +- (Framework) **Enhancement:** Added a new _No-Cache Headers Behavior_ option under _General Options > Performance & Caching_, making no-cache behavior configurable from the admin UI. It includes: | |
| 535 | + - `Always` mode, the legacy safe default that prevents caching site-wide in case user-conditional output appears. | |
| 536 | + - `Selective` mode, which was previously available only through a filter and may improve caching for guests, but can miss some runtime no-cache triggers. | |
| 537 | + - The new `Evaluative` beta mode, which evaluates the page with more runtime information and may allow more pages to be cached safely for guests. | |
| 538 | + - An optional debug header to help troubleshoot no-cache behavior. | |
| 259 | 539 | |
| 260 | - Quick Tip: If you only need to translate the front-end of s2Member, please ignore entries in the `s2member.pot` file with a context matching `s2member-admin`. Those sections of s2Member are only seen by site Administrators; they are NOT used in s2Member's front-end integration with WordPress®. Skipping over translation entries with a context matching `s2member-admin` can save you time. | |
| 261 | -* (s2Member) **Bug fix / Multisite**. A bug fix related to site creation within the Dashboard on a Multisite Blog Farm, has been corrected in this release. For further details, please see [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10307#p32628). | |
| 262 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. New Filter added to s2Member's source code, allowing s2Member Pro site owners to enable/disable tab indexing of reCAPTCHA box controllers *( e.g. the three mundane buttons )* that are skipped over 99.9% of the time anyway. If you'd like to enable tab indexing on these buttons, use: `add_filter("c_ws_plugin__s2member_utils_tabindex_recaptcha_icons", "__return_true");` inside a `/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php` file. | |
| 263 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Bug fix**. Some site owners running s2Member Pro, on server configurations with PHP-based output compression enabled, experienced problems with the `success=""` Shortcode Attribute for s2Member Pro Forms. s2Member Pro has been improved in this regard *( i.e. s2Member Pro now makes better attempts to clear output buffers before returning plain text data with it's handlers )*. In addition, calls to `trim()` have also been implemented as an additional line of defense against errors reported in the previous release; which were related to URLs with leading white space, returned by s2Member's core PayPal® IPN processor. | |
| 264 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Conformity**. s2Member and s2Member Pro now make use of a core WordPress® function for all HTTP status headers ( i.e. `status_header(xxx)` ). | |
| 265 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Pro Forms / Tabindex ( Bug fix )**. s2Member Pro Forms suffered from a bug related to `tabindex` conflicts whenever MANY Custom Registration/Profile Fields were configured together. Corrected in this release. | |
| 266 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Google® Checkout ( Bug fix )**. s2Member Pro's integration with Google Checkout has been updated in this release to use `display-disposition: PESSIMISTIC` instead of `OPTIMISTIC`. This change prevents possible card declines from slipping through, and thereby granting a Customer access inadvertently. With the former `OPTIMISTIC` behavior, in rare cases when payment authorizaton at Google® Checkout took longer than 20 seconds, s2Member was giving a Customer access to the site, instead of waiting pessimistically for Google® Checkout to complete processing. The updated behavior, now set to `PESSIMISTIC`, prevents this from occurring. For technical details, see [this article](http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/developer/Google_Checkout_Digital_Delivery.html). | |
| 267 | -* (s2Member Pro) **ClickBank® ( Bug fix )**. s2Member Pro's integration with ClickBank® has been updated in this release. A bug was found by WebSharks, Inc. Support Rep: Cristián Lávaque, related to the verification of POST vars. Whenever UTF-8 characters appeared in any part of a ClickBank® IPN response received by s2Member, s2Member was failing to verify the checksum, and thus, returning the error: `POST vars could not be verified`. This issue has been corrected in the latest release of s2Member Pro. In addition, a known bug with ClickBank® cutting off first/last names whenever special characters were part of either name, has now been side-stepped by s2Member Pro's integration with ClickBank®. | |
| 268 | -* (s2Member Pro) **PayPal® ( Bug fix )**. s2Member Pro's integration with the PayPal® Pro API has been updated in this release. A bug was found by the s2Member community which affected a rare scenario during heavy testing. When/if a site owner was heavily testing s2Member Pro Forms repeatedly, whereby PayPal® Pro Recurring Profiles were created over and over again; one of these Recurring Profiles could still be in a `Pending` state during a Subscription Modification soon thereafter. This is rare, because Recurring Profiles are usually in a `Pending` state on the PayPal® side of things, for just a few seconds. However, in this test case, it was possible for s2Member to create a second Recurring Profile through the PayPal® Pro API, and the old one would NOT be terminated properly, because it was still in a `Pending` state, and unable to be terminated. This release of s2Member Pro resolves this issue and prevents this from occuring under any scenario. Customers and/or site owners testing s2Member Pro Forms will now see an error message related to pending changes, and the Customer would be asked to wait 15 minutes in this rare scenario. | |
| 269 | -* (s2Member) **Protected Files**. This version of s2Member updates the `.htaccess` file in your `/s2member-files/` directory with `mod_rewrite` rules which provide additional flexibility in the way protected files are served to your Customers. With the new `mod_rewrite` rules, it is now possible to link directly to a protected file, avoiding the use of query string variables *( it's completely optional though )*. | |
| 540 | +- (Framework) **UI:** Clarified the Download Options text to explain that unique download limits are counted in the last X days (rolling window), reducing confusion about whether the limit resets on fixed calendar dates. | |
| 541 | + | |
| 542 | +- (Framework) **UI**: Improved the PayPal Checkout credentials test failure message. | |
| 543 | + | |
| 544 | +- (Framework) **UI:** Fixed the PayPal button encryption admin notice so that it shows only to administrators in the WP Admin area, not non-admin users. | |
| 270 | 545 | |
| 271 | - In other words, this update adds new functionality, it does NOT change anything that already existed. This new flexibility may come in handy for site owners serving files through media playback devices that have issues with query string variables. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> Download Options -> Advanced Mod Rewrite Linkage`. | |

| 550 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Hardened the Edit User Profile screen on PHP 8+ to avoid errors if a user’s Auto-EOT time is stored as a date string (e.g. YYYY-MM-DD) rather than a Unix timestamp (as can happen after imports/migrations). | |
| 551 | + | |
| 552 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Fixed PHP 8+ "Undefined array key" warnings related to membership level label constants (including guest/non-logged-in access label handling). | |

| 563 | + | |
| 564 | +- (Framework) **Fix:** Updated PayPal Checkout webhook handling to prevent one-time payment captures from being processed as recurring payments. | |
| 565 | + | |
| 566 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Fix:** Prevent PHP 8.1+ deprecation warnings in gateway Pro-Forms and related checkout processing (Stripe, PayPal Pro, Authorize.Net), and in custom registration fields, by ensuring optional form/template values are cast to strings before escaping/processing. | |
| 567 | + | |

| 569 | + | |
| 570 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** PayPal Standard and PayPal Checkout cancellation buttons now use PayPal’s subscription management page when needed. | |
| 571 | + | |
| 572 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** Better HTTPS detection in s2Member’s PayPal Checkout setup for sites using Cloudflare (or other reverse proxies), reducing false setup failures when enabling or configuring PayPal Checkout. | |
| 573 | + | |
| 574 | +- (Pro) **Improvement:** Hardened the Advanced Importer to normalize Auto-EOT values given as date strings (e.g. YYYY-MM-DD) into Unix timestamps when a date is used instead of the expected timestamp format. | |
| 575 | + | |
| 576 | +- (Pro) **Improvement:** PayPal Checkout buttons now support `accept="card"` in Pro button attributes, enabling card funding/guest checkout where PayPal makes it available. | |

| 578 | += v260215 = | |
| 579 | + | |
| 580 | +- (Framework) **Bug Fix:** Prevent PHP fatal error when multiple PayPal Checkout buttons appear on the same page (PHP 8+). | |
| 581 | + | |
| 582 | +- (Framework) **Bug Fix:** PayPal Checkout admin actions (Test Credentials / Webhook / Clear Cache) now submit via POST instead of redirecting (avoids “headers already sent” warnings). | |
| 583 | + | |
| 584 | +- (Framework) **Bug Fix:** PayPal cancellation notifications now backfill missing membership mapping fields (`item_number`, `item_name`, `period1`, `period3`) from stored IPN Signup Vars using the subscription ID ( `recurring_payment_id` / `subscr_id` ), so Auto-EOT is set correctly on cancel. | |
| 585 | + | |
| 586 | +- (Framework) **Bug Fix:** Auto-EOT PayPal status checks now query PayPal Checkout subscriptions via PayPal’s REST Subscriptions API (instead of PayPal's legacy “Recurring Payments” API), preventing “11592” errors and allowing Auto-EOT to detect inactive PayPal Checkout subscriptions. | |
| 587 | + | |
| 588 | +- (Framework) **Security:** PayPal Checkout webhook environment inference now validates the `paypal-cert-url` host before using it (hardens environment inference used during verification). | |
| 589 | + | |
| 590 | +- (Framework) **Security:** PayPal Checkout cancel redirect now validates the destination URL and safely falls back to the site home URL. | |
| 591 | + | |

| 601 | + | |
| 602 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** PayPal Checkout webhook setup now treats "no change" updates and existing webhook URLs as success (adopts the existing webhook ID automatically). | |
| 603 | + | |
| 604 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** PayPal Checkout webhook signature verification now auto-detects Sandbox vs Live from inbound headers (so webhooks validate correctly even if the site’s current environment setting differs). | |
| 605 | + | |
| 606 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** PayPal Checkout logging now includes `env_setting` (site setting) and `env_webhook` (inferred from inbound webhook headers) for clearer Sandbox/Live environment troubleshooting. | |
| 607 | + | |
| 608 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** PayPal Checkout webhook idempotency cache (event/txn transients) now retains entries for 1 year (reduces long-term option bloat while preserving replay protection). | |
| 609 | + | |
| 610 | +- (Framework) **Improvement:** s2Member’s PayPal “Unsubscribe” button links to PayPal’s subscription management page, and with the new PayPal Checkout integration, when `output="button"` and a PayPal subscription ID is present, s2Member will attempt to cancel the subscription directly. | |
| 611 | + | |
| 612 | +- (Framework) **UI:** Add a description for `paypal-checkout.log` in the Log Viewer dropdown (so it’s not “No description available”). | |
| 613 | + | |
| 614 | +- (Pro) **Improvement:** PayPal Checkout buttons now support `accept="card"` to enable guest debit/credit card payment in the PayPal-hosted checkout experience when available (availability depends on PayPal settings/eligibility and browser privacy protections). | |

| 616 | += v260127 = | |
| 617 | + | |
| 618 | +- (Framework) **PayPal Enhancement**: Modernized s2Member’s PayPal integration by adding support for PayPal Checkout with their latest REST APIs, Smart Buttons, and webhook event handling. This release introduces PayPal’s current Checkout platform as an optional, reliable alternative to the legacy PayPal Standard buttons. Existing s2Member PayPal button shortcodes continue to work as-is (no edits required). See: _WP Admin > s2Member > PayPal Options > PayPal Checkout (Beta)_. Thanks to the beta testers, especially Sim Architect. | |

This feature is currently in beta, so feedback is welcome! | |
| 643 | + | |
| 644 | += v250607 = | |
| 645 | + | |
| 646 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Enhancement**: Added a new option to skip the domain validation for notifications from the payment gateways. This allows continued processing of incoming notifications even if the domain in the `custom` value doesn't match the current site's. Useful for subscriptions originated outside of s2Member, or under a different domain. The setting is available under: _WP Admin > s2Member > PayPal Options > PayPal IPN / Instant Payment Notifications_ | |

| 655 | + | |
| 656 | += v250525 = | |
| 657 | + | |
| 658 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Fix**: Some translations were being applied too early, causing PHP notices since WP 6.7. Now all translations are only loaded at the `init` hook or later. See [thread 12813](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/12813) | |
| 659 | + | |
| 660 | += v250511 = | |
| 661 | + | |

| 663 | + | |
| 664 | +- (Framework) **Enhancement**: Added sanitization to the admin notices handler for improved safety. | |
| 665 | + | |
| 666 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Fix**: Updated all uses of preg_split() with `-1` instead of `NULL` as the limit to prevent PHP 8.1+ deprecation warnings. | |
| 667 | + | |
| 668 | +- (Pro) **Fix**: Fixed an s2Member-List database query with a typo that prevented some custom searches from working as expected. | |
| 669 | + | |
| 670 | +- (Pro) **Fix**: Removed a check in Stripe pro-forms that blocked using the same details for trial and regular payments for subscriptions. See [thread 12818](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/12818). | |
| 671 | + | |
| 672 | += v250502 = | |
| 673 | + | |
| 674 | +- (Pro) **Enhancement**: Added optional fallback behavior for missing IPN Signup Vars during Stripe webhook processing. When enabled, s2Member will generate a makeshift IPN vars array if none are stored for the user. This helps support migrated or manually imported subscriptions. The setting is available under _s2Member Pro > Stripe Options > Stripe Webhook/IPN Integration_. See [thread 11334](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/11334). | |

| 681 | + | |
| 682 | += v250419 = | |
| 683 | + | |
| 684 | +- (Pro) **Enhancement**: Improved the new coupon code limit per user which prevents a user from applying a coupon code unlimited times, Instead of single use, it can now be limited to more uses, e.g. 3. It's been renamed from "User Once" to "User Max", max number of times a user can use that coupon. This is optional and leaving it blank will give the default "no limit". | |
| 685 | + | |
| 686 | +- (Pro) **Enhancement**: Improved validation of the template attribute in the s2Member-List-Search-Box shortcode. | |
| 687 | + | |

| 721 | + | |
| 722 | +- (Pro) **Enhancement**: Checkout success redirection URLs are now validated as safe with WordPress' _wp_validate_redirect_. To use a domain different than the site's, it can be allowed with wp's filter [allowed_redirect_hosts](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/allowed_redirect_hosts/). | |
| 723 | + | |
| 724 | +- (Framework) **Enhancement**: Additional validation to prevent an invalid s2Member Level role during registration. | |

| 738 | +- (Framework) **Fix**: Added some missing functions to the list of conditionals allowed by default for s2If (e.g. `current_user_days_to_eot_less_than`, `current_user_gateway_is`). See also: https://s2member.com/kb-article/s2if-simple-shortcode-conditionals/#toc-5bb69568 | |
| 739 | + | |
| 740 | +- (Pro) **Enhancement**: New s2If whitelist option for custom conditional functions to be allowed. _s2Member Pro > Restriction Options > Simple Shortcode Conditionals > Whitelist_ | |
| 741 | + | |
| 742 | +- (Framework) **Enhancement**: Handle s2If conditional problems more gracefully. Instead of giving an error that prevents loading the rest of the page, it now just doesn't display that s2If's block, and enters a message in the error log (e.g. `/wp-content/debug.log`). | |
| 743 | + | |
| 744 | +- (Framework & Pro) **Enhancement**: Prevent output from s2If conditions, only _true_ or _false_. | |
| 745 | + | |
| 746 | +- (Framework) **UI**: Update the Mailchimp example from `Group Title` to `Group Category`, to match Mailchimp's current name in their settings. _s2Member > API / List Servers > Mailchimp_ | |

| 752 | +- (Framework) **Fix**: Mailchimp's groups/interests were not transitioning correctly with the updated integration. Fixed in this release. | |
| 753 | + | |
| 754 | +- (Framework) **UI**: Added a notice about PayPal giving trouble with encrypted buttons recently, recommending to not encrypt them for now. You may need to disable button encryption, and allow non-encrypted payments. _s2Member > PayPal Options > Account Details > Button Encryption_ | |
| 272 | 755 | |
| 273 | - Dev note. Any existing `.htaccess` file inside your `/s2member-files/` directory will be overwritten by this release, as it should be. However, if you'd like s2Member to preserve a custom `.htaccess` file that you've written, please create this directory and file: `/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php`, and put this inside it: `<?php add_filter("ws_plugin__s2member_preserve_files_dir_htaccess", "__return_true"); ?>`. Please do this before you upgrade, if this is your intention. | |
| 274 | -* (s2Member) **Download Keys**. There is now a Shortcode equivalent to s2Member's API function `s2member_file_download_key($file, $directive)`. You can now do this in this WordPress® Visual Editor if you prefer: `[s2Key file_download="example-file.zip" /]` without needing a PHP Execution plugin. | |
| 756 | +- (Framework) **UI**: Brought back the "Expand All" and "Collapse All" buttons for the admin panels. See [thread 10796](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/10796) | |
| 275 | 757 | |
| 276 | - For those of you that use the optional `$directive` parameter, you can do something like this: `[s2Key file_download="example-file.zip" directive="ip-forever|universal" /]`. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> Download Options -> Advanced Download Restrictions`. Or see [this article](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=12453#src_doc_s2member_file_download_key%28%29) in the s2Member Codex. | |
| 277 | -* (s2Member) **Localhost Installs**. s2Member now includes information for site owners developing in a `localhost` environment, with WAMP/MAMP or something like EasyPHP. Instructions are now easier to find. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> General Options -> Localhost WAMP/MAMP Developers`. | |
| 278 | -* (s2Member) **PayPal® ( Bug fix )**. s2Member was incorrectly handling delayed EOT Times under a specific scenario, as [reported here](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14876&p=34414#p34414). Corrected in this release. | |
| 279 | -* (s2Member) **JavaScript/CSS Optimization**. s2Member now loads its dynamic JavaScript/CSS libraries through a new optimized file called `/s2member-o.php`, designed to increase the speed at which your installation of WordPress® can load these resources. The new optimized `/s2member-o.php` file loads only the core WordPress® framework and the s2Member JavaScript and/or CSS file, depending on which is being requested. This new file will eliminate a potential bottleneck on some WordPress® installations, which may have MANY other plugins running in concert with s2Member. It also works to further reduce CPU and memory consumption for all site owners. For further details about why this optimization is beneficial, please see [this article](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14359&p=33441#p33441). | |
| 280 | -* (s2Member Pro) **PayPal® Express Checkout / Pre-Population**. s2Member now pre-populates everything it can through PayPal® Express Checkout integration. If a Customer does NOT already have a PayPal® account when they arrive at Express Checkout, the Account Creation Form at PayPal® will be pre-populated with a minimum of their Name and Email Address. Street address information will ONLY be pre-populated, when/if s2Member collects it for tax purposes. Otherwise, the address information will NOT be pre-populated, because only PayPal® will ask for those details anyway *( i.e. s2Member doesn't ask for address details when Express Checkout is used; not unless you're collecting taxes: `s2Member -> PayPal® Options -> Tax Calculations` ). | |
| 281 | -* (s2Member) **New API Function**. This version of s2Member includes a new API Function `get_s2member_custom_fields()`, designed to provide more information about Custom Registration/Profile Field configuration and values for a specific User. The API function `get_user_field()` remains available as well. For further details, please see [this article](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=12455) in the s2Member Codex. | |
| 282 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Pro Login Widget**. This version of s2Member improves the `%%automatic%%` setting for the Signup URL in Pro Login Widgets. When/if a Customer has already paid for their Membership, the Signup URL presented in the Pro Login Widget will change dynamically, pointing a Customer to the Registration Form, instead of to your Membership Options Page. Of course, this behavior could be overridden by changing the Signup URL to something other than `%%automatic%%`, if you prefer. | |
| 758 | +- (Framework) **UI**: Updated the link to the PayPal IPN configuration. | |
| 283 | 759 | |
| 284 | -= v110815 = | |
| 285 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Independent Custom Capabilities.** You can now sell one or more Custom Capabilities using Buy Now functionality, to "existing" Users/Members, regardless of which Membership Level they have on your site *( i.e. you could even sell Independent Custom Capabilities to Users at Membership Level #0, normally referred to as Free Subscribers, if you like )*. So this is quite flexible. Independent Custom Capabilities do NOT rely on any specific Membership Level. That's why s2Member refers to these as *Independent* Custom Capabilities, because you can sell Capabilities this way, through Buy Now functionality, and the Customer's Membership Level Access, along with any existing paid Subscription they may already have with you, will remain completely unaffected. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> PayPal® Buttons -> Capability (Buy Now) Buttons`. Independent Custom Capabilities are currently integrated with PayPal® Standard Buttons, PayPal® Pro Forms, and Authorize.Net® Pro Forms only. Integration with other Payment Gateways supported by s2Member Pro will come in a future release. | |
| 286 | -* (s2Member) **API Tracking.** This release of s2Member introduces two new API Tracking methods, now making it possible to incorporate Tracking Codes *( i.e. affiliate program integrations, as one example )* for `Signup Tracking`, `Modification Tracking (new)`, and also for `Capability Tracking (new)`. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> API Tracking`. These new methods are ( in addition to ) s2Member's API Notifications, which remain available. s2Member's API Notifications are intended for more advanced tracking integrations, such as a 3rd-party call through an HTTP request. | |
| 287 | -* (s2Member) **Bug fix / Multisite.** s2Member's supplemental API Functions `current_user_is()`, `current_user_is_not()` and the `..for_blog()` alternatives, were not properly considering Super Administators on a Multisite Network installation. On a Multisite Network, the WordPress `$user->has_cap()` routine returns true for anything passed in on a Super Administrator account, causing s2Member's `user_is` API Functions to return true for Super Administrators in some cases, when it really should NOT have been. Fixed in this release. If you need to use `current_user_is()` against a Super Administrator, the `user_is` API Functions introduced by s2Member will only return true in these special cases: `current_user_is("super_administrator")` and/or `current_user_is("administrator")`. Super Administrators should always have the `administrator` Role, for all Blogs in the Network, and s2Member will also consider the fake Role `super_administrator` *( unique to s2Member )* for cases when you need to test explicity for a Super Administrator. Actually, you could also just use the WordPress core function for this: `is_super_admin()` *( recommended )*. | |
| 288 | -* (s2Member) **Bug fix / Capabilities.** When/if you require Custom Capabilities in order to view certain content sections on your site, s2Member was behaving properly in all cases, except for one specific scenario. When an Administrator of the site *( on a normal single-site installation of WordPress )*, was attempting to test-view content protected with Custom Capabilities *( this scenario was causing a problem )*. What was happening, is that s2Member was seeing that an Adminstrator did not have certain Custom Capabilities defined explicity in their account, and access was being denied *( that's actually, NOT right )*. This was in conflict with the way that s2Member handles all other content protection routines with respect to Administrators. Administrators should automatically have access to all protected content, even if Custom Capabilities are not explicity defined in their account. After all, they are Administrators. In short, this release makes it possible for Administrators of a single-site WordPress installation, to have full access to all content; even when/if Custom Capabilities are required. This should help to prevent confusion for site owners just beginning to understand s2Member's functionality with respect to Custom Capabilities. | |
| 289 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Bug fix / Coupon Codes.** s2Member Pro Forms were failing to apply Coupon Codes properly in some cases. Whenever a Coupon Code eliminated all initial charges for a Trial Amount, s2Member was attempting to charge a zero dollar sale amount, under the right scenario. Fixed in this release. | |
| 290 | -* (s2Member) **API Notifications.** Starting with this release, s2Member's Payment Notifications are also triggered whenever a Buy Now purchase for Independent Custom Capabilities takes place (new). The documentation in your Dashboard has been updated. For further details, please see: `s2Member -> API Notifications -> Payment Notifications`. | |
| 291 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Cookies.** Both s2Member and s2Member Pro now fully support the `COOKIEPATH`, `SITECOOKIEPATH`, and `COOKIE_DOMAIN` constants from the WordPress® core, making s2Member more secure on Multisite Networks, and improving compatibility overall for sites that use one or more of these PHP Constants in their `/wp-config.php` file. | |
| 292 | -* (s2Member Pro) **UI Improvement / tabindex.** s2Member Pro Forms have been updated to skip tab indexes on reCAPTCHA box controllers *( e.g. the three mundane buttons )* that are skipped over 99.9% of the time anyway. This allows Pro Form tab controls to jump immediately to the reCAPTCHA input field, if/when enabled by your Shortcode. | |
| 293 | -* (s2Member Pro) **UI Improvement.** s2Member\'s live feed inside your Dashboard, which is responsible for delivering updates that come from Lead Developer Jason Caldwell and s2Member Support Reps, has been improved in this release. You'll see this on the right-hand side of s2Member's UI panels, near the top. | |
| 294 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Capability Additions (Changed).** In previous versions of s2Member, when generating a Payment Button/Form, it was possible to precede your list of Custom Capabilities with a `+` sign, indicating that you wish to (Add) new Custom Capabilities instead of (Resetting) a User's Capbilities to the ones you list. Starting with this release, (Add) is now the default behavior. In other words, the `+` sign is no longer required, because s2Member will automatically (Add) Capabilities to any that already exist for a particular User/Member, even without the `+` sign *(no longer required)*. In addition, there is now a new directive available: `-all`. You may now precede your list of Custom Capabilities with `-all`, but only if you wish to (Remove/Reset) all Custom Capabilities, and then (Add) new ones. For example: `-all,music,videos`, would remove any existing Custom Capabilities that may or may not already exist for a particular User/Member, and then add: `music,videos`. There are additional examples provided by the Payment Button/Form Generators that come with s2Member. Please check your Dashboard if you'd like to learn more. | |
| 295 | -* (s2Member) **Compatibility.** s2Member's ability to modify the WordPress® Admin Bar for Users/Members has been updated to fully support WordPress® v3.2+. This feature now behaves as expected in the latest release. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> General Options -> Profile Modifications`. The Redirection option in that section, has the side effect of manipulating the Admin Bar across the top of your site *( if enabled )*, making WordPress® behave properly. | |
| 296 | -* (s2Member Pro) **Options Import/Export.** s2Member Pro now makes it possible to export your s2Member options, in their entirety, and then import them into another instance of WordPress®. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> Import/Export`. | |
| 297 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **Memory.** Memory reporting is now added to log entries by s2Member. | |
| 298 | -* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) **JavaScript.** Minor optimization of s2Member's JavaScript routine. | |
| 760 | +- (Framework) **UI**: Added link to PayPal's IPN History page. _s2Member > PayPal Options > PayPal IPN > More Information_ | |
| 299 | 761 | |
| 300 | -= v110812 = | |
| 301 | -* (s2Member) **Security fix.** This release addresses an important security vulnerability in previous releases of the s2Member Framework *( i.e. the free version of s2Member )*. Sites with Download Options configured for s2Member should be advised to update to s2Member v110812+ as soon as possible to avoid possible exploits. | |
| 762 | +- (Pro) **Fix**: Stripe's billing update pro-form gave an error sometimes. Fixed in this release. See [thread 10752](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/10752) | |
| 302 | 763 | |
| 303 | -= v110731 = | |
| 304 | -* **(s2Member) Bug fix / Multisite.** In the Multisite (Config) panel, s2Member was not properly displaying the number of Blogs allowed at Level #0, in some cases. | |
| 305 | -* **(s2Member Pro) Update / ClickBank®.** s2Member Pro has been updated to better support ClickBank's policy on Thank-You Pages. s2Member now provides a link on the ClickBank Return-Page where Customers may contact your support department, and a message regarding charges on a Customer's bank statement appearing as `CLKBANK*COM`. This is mandatory for all ClickBank® integrations. ClickBank® will not approve your Products without this information on the Thank-You Page integrated with s2Member. In addition, s2Member now makes it possible to customize your Thank-You Page for ClickBank®. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> ClickBank® Options -> Thank-You Page`. If you have attempted to use temporary hacks of your own in order to avoid issues with ClickBank® policy in this regard, we suggest that you remove those hacks, and instead work with the new features introduced in this release of s2Member Pro. If you need assistance, please use the s2Member forums. | |
| 306 | -* **(s2Member Pro) Pro API For Remote Operations.** With s2Member Pro installed, you now have access to the s2Member Pro API For Remote Operations. This is made available for developers that wish to create User/Member accounts dynamically through custom scripts of their own. s2Member's Remote Operations API requires a secret API Key in order to POST authenticated requests to your installation of s2Member. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> API Scripting -> Remote Operations API`. | |
| 307 | -* **(s2Member) Compatibility.** In cases where a site owner integrates Amazon® S3 file storage for protected File Downloads, with an invalid Bucket name which contains mixed caSe ( that's a no-no anyway ), s2Member will now convert the Amazon® S3 connection URL to `s3.amazonaws.com/[BUCKET]`, instead of the default `[bucket].s3.amazonaws.com`. This is required for invalid Bucket names which use mixed caSe. The only way for Amazon® S3 communication to work with these invalid Bucket names, is with a sub-folder URL. See docs on [Bucket names](http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/index.html?BucketRestrictions.html). | |
| 308 | -* **(s2Member) Feature Improvement.** s2Member's API Tracking Codes are now displayed immediately after checkout in all possible scenarios. This is an improvement over past versions, where s2Member sometimes had to await IPN processing before Tracking Codes integrated with s2Member could be displayed on-site. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> API Tracking`. | |
| 309 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro) New Feature / Thank-You Page Templates.** s2Member's Return Page handlers ( aka: Thank-You Page handlers ) have been improved. Instead of using a JavaScript alert immediately after checkout, s2Member now displays all responses with pure HTML. In addition, with s2Member Pro installed ( and only with s2Member Pro installed ), it is now possible to customize the header section ( i.e the top ) of your Thank-You Page from the Dashboard, and/or to create a custom template file inside your active WordPress® theme directory for each Payment Gateway integrated with s2Member ( all optional ). For details on your PayPal Return Page ( aka: Thank-You Page ), please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Auto-Return/PDT Integration -> Auto-Return Page Template`. | |
| 310 | - | |
| 311 | - The ability to customize the Return Page is now possible ( for all applicable Payment Gateways ) integrated with s2Member Pro, including: PayPal® Standard, ClickBank®, ccBill®, and AliPay®. Other Payment Gateways, such as: PayPal® Pro, Authorize.Net®, and Google® Checkout do NOT require a Return-Page anyway, so they are NOT applicable in this regard. | |
| 312 | - | |
| 313 | - *Please note, this feature improvement should NOT negatively impact any existing installations of s2Member. In other words, you don't need to change anything in your existing installation, unless you want to. Custom Return Page templates are completely optional. This improvement simply makes new things possible in s2Member Pro, and even provides a smoother experience for all Customers completing checkout through the free version of s2Member. If you need to customize s2Member's default Return-Page Template, please upgrade to s2Member Pro, where the tools for this are made available in your Dashboard.* | |
| 314 | -* **(s2Member) New Feature / Login Counter.** Starting with this release, s2Member will automatically monitor the number of times each User/Member logs into your site. This information is made visible to the site owner in the list of Users ( i.e. in the Dashboard ). This information is also used as the basis for a new feature in s2Member Pro, which allows for the configuration of One-Time-Offers, based on the number of previous logins at your site. For further details, please check your Dashboard with s2Member Pro installed, see: `s2Member -> General Options -> One-Time-Offers`. | |
| 315 | -* **(s2Member Pro) Feature Improvement / Success Attribute.** With s2Member Pro installed, it is also possible to completely override the Standard Return-Page handlers with the `success=""` Attribute in your Shortcode. This works with PayPal® Standard integration, and also for AliPay®. New in this release, It is now possible to achieve the same result with ClickBank® and ccBill® too, using the instructions provided in your s2Member options panel, for each respective Gateway. Also, this release of s2Member improves the handling of custom Return URLs. | |
| 764 | += v230530 = | |
| 316 | 765 | |
| 317 | - In all cases, s2Member will now ALWAYS handle the initial redirection after checkout, where s2Member sets important authorization cookies, and THEN ( if configured to do so ) redirect to your custom URL on success. This prevents issues with registration authorization cookies not being set properly when/if custom Success URLs are used. This was a problematic area in previous releases of s2Member, and this version should resolve those issues; as long as the updated instructions are followed inside your Dashboard. For example, with ClickBank®, please see: `s2Member -> ClickBank® Options -> Thank-You Page -> Thank-You Page Templates` for full details regarding all possible customizations. You will find similar instructions for other Payment Gateways integrated with s2Member. | |
| 318 | -* **(s2Member Pro) New Feature / One-Time-Offers.** With s2Member Pro installed, it is now possible to configure One-Time-Offers ( Upon Login ). This feature allows site owners to display a different page the 1st time a User/Member logs in ( and more ), and/or to create loyaltly rewards/offers for Users/Members who have been very active on their account. For further details, please check your Dashboard with s2Member Pro installed, see: `s2Member -> General Options -> One-Time-Offers`. | |
| 319 | -* **(s2Member) Bug fix. BuddyPress Profile Fields.** s2Member's integration with BuddyPress Profile fields was invalid in cases where public Profiles were being viewed/edited while another User was logged in. s2Member was displaying/populating the current User's Custom Field data in places where it should have been pulling details based on `$bp->displayed_user->id`. This bug has been corrected in this release of s2Member. | |
| 320 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro) Code Restructuring / Security Hardening.** s2Member's core IPN and Return-Page handlers have been reorganized into sub-classes containing conditional phases. This made it possibe to harden s2Member's security in various ways, and also sets the groundwork for new features ( coming soon ). One way in which s2Member's security had been hardended in this release, is that it's now harder, if not impossible, for s2Member to reprocess any IPN and/or Return-Page Data in duplicate. In rare cases where information comes through in duplicate, s2Member will ignore dupes completely, recover gracefully, log important details, and/or display `Page Expired` notifications to possible attackers. | |
| 321 | -* **(s2Member Pro) Bug fix. Authorize.Net® ARB.** s2Member Pro was incorrectly handling scenarios where a Customer was attempting to create an ARB Profile with a credit card that expires before the 2nd payment in the ARB Profile would clear. s2Member Pro always collects the first payment up front, and starts the ARB Profile to handle future payments. In cases where a Customer's card would expire before the second payment is collected, the creation of the ARB Profile would fail on the Authorize.Net® side, and s2Member Pro was not recovering properly. The result is that the Customer was charged for the first payment, and then left with a decline notice on-site ( not good ). In this release, s2Member Pro has been updated to avoid the situation where a Customer may be declined, with the error `The credit card expires before the subscription startDate`. In this scenario, s2Member will now allow the Customer's transaction to go through ( collecting the first payment in real-time ), and allowing the Customer to gain access. In this case, s2Member knows that future payments will fail because the card will expire beforehand, so an EOT Time for the Customer will be set during checkout. | |
| 766 | +- (Framework) **Enhancement**: Updated the Mailchimp integration to v3 of their API. I made it so you shouldn't need to change anything, it should work with your existing configuration. Still worth doing a test or checking that things are normal after the update, and report any issues you notice. See: [thread 10666](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/10666) | |
| 322 | 767 | |
| 323 | -= v110710 = | |
| 324 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro) Bug fix.** Some versions of PHP were generating an error `Warning: call_user_func_array()` after registration. This error was caused by a new static class method introduced in s2Member v110708, which was NOT previously declared `static` explicity. This release of s2Member v110710 corrects this bug and eliminates the error message. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> General Options -> Email Configuration`. | |
| 325 | -* **(s2Member) New Feature.** It is now possible to enable/disable s2Member's customization of New User Email notifications. This may be desirable when/if you're using a plugin ( other than s2Member ) to handle this aspect of your installation. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> General Options -> Email Configuration`. | |
| 326 | -* **(s2Member) New Feature.** It is now possible to customize both the Username/Password email ( e.g. the email sent to new Users/Members after registration ), and now you can ALSO customize the Administrative "New User Notification" email too. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> General Options -> Email Configuration`. | |
| 768 | += v230504 = | |

| 328 | -= v110709 = | |
| 329 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro) Email Configuration ( bug fix ).** New file `/s2member/includes/functions/pluggables.inc.php` was missing in the last release, weird. This release adds the missing file that implements this new feature included in the previous Changelog. FEATURE: Some new options are now available that allow site owners to customize the email that contains the Username/Password for new Users/Members. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> General Options -> Email Configuration`. | |
| 770 | +- (Pro) **Fix**: Stripe subscriptions weren't using customer cards updated with the Billing Update pro-form. The subscription saved the first card, instead of defaulting to the card in the customer's profile. This release fixes that. The card is not added to a new subscription anymore, only to the customer's profile, and updating his profile's card with the Billing Update pro-form, will also update the subscription so it uses it. Thanks to Jim Antonucci for his help with this. | |
| 330 | 771 | |
| 331 | -= v110708 = | |
| 332 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro) Compatibility.** s2Member and s2Member Pro have both been updated to support WordPress® v3.2. | |
| 333 | -* **(s2Member Pro) Unlimited Membership Levels.** With s2Member Pro installed, you may now configure an unlimited number of Membership Levels. You can set the number of Membership Levels by adding this line to your /wp-config.php file: `define("MEMBERSHIP_LEVELS", 4);`. Feel free to change the default value of 4 to whatever you need. The minimum allowed value is 1. The recommended maximum is 100. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> General Options -> Membership Levels/Labels`. | |
| 334 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro) Email Configuration.** Some new options are now available that allow site owners to customize the email that contains the Username/Password for new Users/Members. For further details, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> General Options -> Email Configuration`. | |
| 335 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro) Bug fix.** A problem with certain email addresses routed through the `wp_mail()` function, containing special characters in the "Name" portion. The issue was related to the way in which `wp_mail()` handles recipient addresses in the format `"Name" <address>`. s2Member now strips double quotes dynamically ( i.e. internally ), so that `wp_mail()` and the PHPMailer class can deal with this format on their own. This bug fix should also prevent seemingly random `500 Internal Server Error` messages during checkout. One symptom of this bug was to find "Premature end of script headers" inside your Apache error log, followed by an error code of `500` reported in the browser. These issues have been corrected in this release of s2Member. | |
| 336 | -* **(s2Member) Bug fix.** A bug first introduced in v110604 was preventing s2Member from setting a User's "Display Name" during Registration properly. This bug has been corrected in the latest release. In addition, a new configurable option for this behavior has been added to the s2Member General Options panel. For further details, please check your Dashboard under: `s2Member -> General Options -> Registration/Profile Fields -> Display Name`. | |
| 337 | -* **(s2Member) Bug fix.** A bug first introduced in v110604 was preventing s2Member from handling password strenth meters in the Stand-Alone Profile Editing Panel ( i.e. the popup version ). | |
| 338 | -* **(s2Member) Documentation.** s2Member's `API Scripting` sections inside your Dashboard have been updated in various places, in support of some new API Functions/Constants introduced in the latest versions of s2Member; and also to reference relevant articles in the [s2Member Codex](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=40). | |
| 772 | +- (Pro) **Enhancement**: The Stripe Billing Update pro-form now includes a field for the cardholder's name (i.e. Name On Card). Adding the name to the card will improve successful subscription charges. Thanks to Andy Johnsen for the idea. | |
| 339 | 773 | |
| 340 | -= v110620 = | |
| 341 | -* **(s2Member) Bug fix.** s2Member has been updated to support GMT offset in date calculations for Registration Time. In previous versions, this was addressed using `date_i18n()`, but this update now includes the proper function call to `get_date_from_gmt()`. No changes are necessary, as this update simply corrects the way Registration Times are displayed in your list of Users. Starting with v110620, s2Member will now display Registration Times with the correct GMT offset, based on your configuration of `WordPress -> General Options -> Timezone`. | |
| 774 | += v230425 = | |
| 342 | 775 | |
| 343 | -= v110617 = | |
| 344 | -* **(s2Member) Bug fix.** A bug first introduced in s2Member v110604 has been corrected. This bug was hindering s2Member's ability to identify MIME types for protected File Downloads. | |
| 345 | -* **(s2Member) HTML 5 MIME types.** s2Member has been updated to provide support through File Download protection for HTML 5 MIME types: `video/ogg` and `video/webm`. | |
| 776 | +- (Framework) **Fix**: Fixed domain name format validation for custom profile fields. | |
| 346 | 777 | |
| 347 | -= v110606 = | |
| 348 | -* **(s2Member). MailChimp® over SSL.** s2Member has been updated to communicate with the MailChimp® API over SSL, for improved security. No action or reconfiguration is necessary, as this only affects the HTTP protocol used during communication with the MailChimp® API. | |
| 349 | -* **(s2Member). Documentation update.** s2Member has been updated to mention the PHP Execution plugin, which is required to take full advantage of `"Advanced" Download Restrictions`, through the application of a File Download Key. The creation of a File Download `Key`, requires a small PHP code snippet. In order to use PHP scripting inside your Posts/Pages, you'll need to install this handy plugin ( [PHP Execution](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-execution-plugin/) ). | |
| 350 | -* **(s2Member). MailChimp® data center prefix.** Starting with this release, the data center prefix ( ex: `us1`, etc ), will be recorded in s2Member's log file for MailChimp® communication. The only change here, is the inclusion of the prefix in the log file. s2Member has always used proper data center prefixes, they just weren't included in the log file until now. | |
| 351 | -* **(s2Member). Amazon® S3 bug fix.** s2Member has been updated to support all regions, and not just the `US Standard`. If you were getting errors in the previous release, related to Amazon® S3 storage locations being accessed inproperly, this release of s2Member v110606 should resolve the issue for you. To put it simply, s2Member now connects to your S3 Bucket using `[bucket].s3.amazonaws.com`, instead of `s3.amazonaws.com/[bucket]`, making s2Member more compatible in this regard; and as suggested by [this documentation](http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/index.html?RESTAuthentication.html). This also improves the User experience, since your Bucket name will appear in the host name of the download, instead of just `s3.amazonaws.com`. For further discussion, please check [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10054). | |
| 778 | +- (Framework) **Fix**: Fixes to markdown parser for PHP8 compatibility. | |

| 354 | -* **(s2Member). Bug fix.** If File Download protection was enabled, changes introduced in the previous release, were causing some site Administrators to receive a "File Download Limit Exceeded" error under the right circumstances. This has been corrected in the release of s2Member v110605. | |
| 780 | +- (Framework) **Fix**: Fixed HTML near AWeber's API key field. | |

| 356 | -= v110604 ( instead of s2Member v3.6 ) = | |
| 357 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Versioning.** Starting with this release, s2Member and s2Member Pro will be released with dated versions following this format: `yymmdd`. The version for this release is: `110604`. | |
| 358 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). s2Member Security Badge.** An s2Member® Security Badge ( optional ), can be used to express your site's concern for security; demonstrating to all Users/Members that your site ( and the s2Member software ), takes security seriously. However, in order to qualify your site, you MUST generate a Security Encryption Key and pass other security standards. For more information, please check your Dashboard under: `s2Member -> General Options -> Security Badge`. | |
| 359 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Custom Fields For BuddyPress.** s2Member can now integrate your Custom Fields into BuddyPress. Please check your Dashboard for all configuration options. You'll find BuddyPress integration available here: `DashBoard -> s2Member -> General Options -> Registration/Profile Fields`. | |
| 360 | -* **(s2Member Pro). PayPal® Pro API Updates (First Payment / Recurring Profile Behavior).** s2Member's integration with the PayPal® Pro API has been updated to API v71.0. There is also a new option available to PayPal® Pro Merchants. s2Member now provides site owners the abililty to control the way the first payment in a Recurring Profile is billed. (1)Consolidate w/ Recurring Profile or (2)— Real-Time / Direct Pay ( mission critical ) —. For further details, please check your Dashboard under: `s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Account Details`. We recommend: `Consolidate w/ Recurring Profile`, because this keeps all charges associated with a particular Customer organized in your PayPal® account. No matter which option you choose, a first Initial Payment ( when applicable ), will always be charged immediately ( improved in this release ). In cases where it is absolutely critical that a Customer NOT gain access until their first payment has been fully captured, choose: `Real-Time / Direct Pay`, which tells s2Member to authorize/capture the first payment in real-time during checkout, instead of consolidating it into the Recurring Profile. | |
| 361 | -* **(s2Member). bbPress® 2.0+.** s2Member has been integrated with preliminary support for bbPress® 2.0+ ( i.e. the new plugin variation for WordPress® ). Please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> Other Integrations` for further details and a list of current limitations. | |
| 362 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Field Labels.** Some additional `for=""` attributes in all Pro Form templates. This improves the reliability of s2Member's JavaScript validation routines. Existing s2Member Pro Customers with modified Pro Form templates MUST update their `for=""` attributes in order for s2Member's JavaScript API to properly validate Customer data entry in this new release. If you're running custom Pro Form templates, check this directory for the updated default templates, so you can merge any changes you've made yourself: `/s2member-pro/includes/templates/forms/`. | |
| 363 | -* **(s2Member). Amazon S3 Support** Amazon® Simple Storage Service ( Amazon® S3 ). Amazon® S3 is storage for the Internet. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers. Amazon® S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives developers access to the same highly scalable, reliable, secure, fast, inexpensive infrastructure that Amazon® uses to run its own global network of web sites. s2Member has been integrated with Amazon® S3, so that ( if you wish ), instead of using the `/s2member-files/` directory, you can store all of your protected files inside an Amazon® S3 Bucket. | |
| 364 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). jQuery.** Tested s2Member against jQuery version 1.4.4+, including jQuery v1.6. Fixed a bug with `.attr()` returning undefined in jQuery v1.6. | |
| 365 | -* **(s2Member). Bug fix.** Using the Replacement Code `%%current_user_login%%` in a Special Redirection URL for your Login Welcome Page would sometimes result in your Home Page being protected inadvertently, depending on configuration. | |
| 366 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). IP Address Collection.** s2Member now records the original IP Address of a each User, for tracking purposes. In previous versions of s2Member, in order to integrate some tracking systems, ( such as iDevAffiliate's server-side call option ), it was required to use the `custom=""` Attribute of your Shortcode to grab a Customer's IP Address. That's no longer required, as Replacement Codes are now made available throughout all aspects of s2Member; giving you easy access to the User's IP Address. | |
| 367 | -* **(s2Member Pro). Bug fix.** Buy Now Coupon descriptions for Specific Post/Page Access were returning invalid details, referencing installments. This bug has been resolved. | |
| 368 | -* **(s2Member Pro). SSL.** Allow `?s2-ssl` without a value ( accept as true ). This has been implemented for advanced site owners running s2Member Pro Forms. | |
| 369 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). API Functions.** New API functions for user Level, Role, Custom Capabilities. These will be documented in our official source code documentation system for s2Member ( also new ). Source code documentation will become available in the s2Member forums, shortly after the official public release of this version. | |
| 370 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). New Shortcode Attribute.** For PayPal® Buttons/Forms, you can now apply Shortcode `lc="US"`. Optional 2 character Locale Code ( i.e. Country Code ). This controls the interface language used if/when a Customer chooses PayPal® Express Checkout as their payment method, or upon clicking a Standard PayPal® Button. If unspecified, the language is determined by PayPal®, when possible, defaulting to US english when not possible. | |
| 371 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). New Shortcode Attribute.** For PayPal® Buttons/Forms, you can now apply Shortcode `rrt=""`. Regular Recurring Times ( i.e. a fixed number of installments ). Only valid w/ Membership Level Access. When unspecified ( the default ), any recurring charges will remain ongoing until cancelled, or until payments start failing. If this is set to 1 or higher the regular recurring charges will only continue for X billing cycles, depending on what you specify. This is only valid when `rr="1"` for recurring "Subscriptions". Please note that a fixed number of installments, also means a fixed period of access. If a Customer's billing is monthly, and you set `rrt="3"`, billing will continue for only 3 monthly installments. After that, billing would stop, and their access to the site would be revoked as well ( based on your EOT Behavior setting under: `s2Member -> PayPal® Options` ). | |
| 372 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). New Shortcode Attribute.** You can now apply `rra="1"`. This has to do with reattempting failed payments. It has slightly different meanings and option values, depending on whether it's used for a PayPal® Button or a PayPal® Pro Form Shortcode. For instance, for PayPal® Pro Form Shortcodes, this also controls MAXFAILEDPAYMENTS. Please check your Dashboard under: `s2Member -> PayPal® Buttons/Forms -> Shortcode Attributes Explained`. | |
| 373 | -* **(s2Member w/s2Member Pro installed). New Shortcode Attribute.** You can now apply `success="http://..."` Attribute to Standard PayPal® Buttons. Success Return URL ( optional ). s2Member handles this automatically for you. However, if you would prefer to take control over the landing page after checkout ( i.e. your own custom Thank-You Page ), you can. If supplied, this must be a full URL, starting with http://. Note, s2Member will NOT use this value if an existing account holder is being modified. s2Member handles account updates ( i.e. billing modification ) in a more dynamic way. Your Success Return URL is only applied to (new) Customers. This feature is enabled with s2Member Pro installed. | |
| 374 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Bug fix.** When using ampersands in the `success=""` Attribute, it would break Success Return URLs on some WordPress® installations. s2Member now converts these internally to avoid the issue. | |
| 375 | -* **(s2Member). Redirection Status Codes.** s2Member's default behavior ( for good reason ), is to send a 301 redirection status when it moves unauthorized Visitors to your Membership Options Page. The reasons for this are well founded. This prevents duplicate content warnings from search engine spiders. However, some web browsers ( like Safari ) make an attempt to cache a 301 redirection into memory, thereby preventing some browsers from reaching the proper areas of your site after logging in, had they been redirected to the Membership Options Page prior. s2Member resolves this problem by detecting all major browser engines ( i.e. `msie|trident|gecko|webkit|presto|konqueror|playstation` ) and sending web browsers a `302` redirection, while still sending spiders/crawlers ( such as the Google® bot ), the proper `301` redirection status. For further details, please check [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6240&p=14120#p14084). | |
| 376 | -* **(s2Member). Alternative Views.** Alternative View Restrictions ( now compatible with Ajax search plugins ). For further details, please check [this thread](http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3087&p=9635#p12882). | |
| 377 | -* **(s2Member Pro). Bug fix.** Corrected first/last name updates during Pro Form checkout/upgrade routines. s2Member Pro should use ( and update to ) the values submitted, even when already logged-in. | |
| 378 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Bug fix.** s2Member was not properly filling the `$_GET["s2member_level_req"]` parameter upon certain File Download Restrictions. For instance, s2Member would sometimes return `s2member_level_req=0`, even though you protected a File inside a Custom Capability and/or Member Level sub-directory. This bug has been corrected. | |
| 379 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Time Zone.** s2Member now displays Registration Dates in your list of Users with `date_i18n()` for localized time, as opposed to UTC time. UTC time is still the default time zone ( internally ), this is built into the WordPress® core. However, certain dates displayed on-site are easier to understand in localized time, based on your WordPress® General Settings. | |
| 380 | -* **(s2Member). Password Confirmation.** s2Member now provides a Password confirmation field on the Standard Registration Form, and in other key areas, such as Profile Editing Panels. | |
| 381 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Password Strength Meters.** This version adds Password strength meters in various places ( where it's helpful ); including s2Member Pro Forms, and even the default Registration Form for WordPress®. | |
| 382 | -* **(s2Member). Multisite Registration.** Cleaned up the default Multisite Registration Form ( i.e. `/wp-signup.php` ), with structural CSS to better support s2Member features. | |
| 383 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). SI Captchya.** s2Member now contains default CSS styles ( just two lines ), and JavaScript validation for the popular [SI Capchya](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/) plugin; and also for it's own built-in support of Google's reCAPTCHA service for s2Member Pro Forms. | |
| 384 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Custom Field Default Values.** It's now possible to set default text values for single-line and multi-line input/textarea fields too. This only affects Custom Fields you configure with s2Member. | |
| 385 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Custom Fields By Section.** Custom Fields by section ( i.e. dividers ). It's now possible to configure certain Custom Fields, so that they start a new section. Your sections can be simple dividing lines, or you can give them a title that will appear on your Registration and Profile Editing forms. | |
| 386 | -* **(s2Member). Bug fix.** s2Member was creating window focus/blur issues on Profile updates through its Stand-Alone version of the Profile Editing Panel ( i.e. when it was popped open in a new window ). This was causing odd behavior Firefox® 4. | |
| 387 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Remove First/Last Name.** It is now possible to turn off First/Last/Display Name, on Registration and Profile Editing forms. For configuration options, please check your Dashboard, under: `s2Member -> Registration/Profile Fields`. | |
| 388 | -* **(s2Member Pro). Data Prefill.** s2Member Pro is now capable of prepopulating some Pro Form fields when/if existing Users buy a Specific Post/Page. | |
| 389 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Bug fix.** Fixed nested Custom Registration/Profile Field labels for multi option check boxes/radios. Firefox 4+ had issues with this. | |
| 390 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Registration Link Expiration.** The default is built-in, it's (2) days. We don't recommend changing this unless you know what you're doing. Some developers requested the ability to change this dynamically. s2Member now makes this Filter available: `ws_plugin__s2member_register_link_exp_time`. | |
| 391 | -* **(s2Member Pro). Automatic Upgrade Routine.** s2Member Pro now places your site into maintenance mode ( temporarily ) during an s2Member Pro Upgrade routine. | |
| 392 | -* **(s2Member). New API Notification.** New "Modification" Notification now available under: `s2Member -> API Notifications`. Say that three times fast! | |
| 393 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). MailChimp® / AWeber® improvements.** This release fixes several bugs related to Automatic Unsubscribes, general list removals, and introduces a new feature call Automatic List Transitions. For further details, please check your Dashboard under: `s2Member -> API List Servers`. | |
| 394 | -* **(s2Member). Bug fix.** PayPal® Button Codes should have been including a `charset` input variable for `UTF-8` encoding. This bug has been corrected now. If you've had trouble getting special characters to appear properly in the PayPal® interface, this version should correct those issues for you. | |
| 395 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Animated Processing... Buttons.** This release adds simple animated "processing..." messages to all form submission buttons. | |
| 396 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). MailChimp® Interest Groups.** Ability to use Interest Groups with Mailchimp List IDs. For examples, please check your Dashboard under: `s2Member -> API List Servers -> MailChimp`. | |
| 397 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). New EOT Behavior Option.** Automatic Extension of EOT Time whenever a Customer is upgrading a paid Subscription? For configuration options, please check your Dashboard under: `s2Member -> PayPal® Options -> EOT Behavior`. | |
| 398 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Log Entries.** WordPress® :: s2Member :: s2Member Pro versions now all reported in each log entry. In addition, s2Member now provides logging for all communications with MailChimp® and AWeber® too. | |
| 399 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). s2Member Now Requires WordPress® v3.1+.** Backward compatibility for the WordPress® 3.0.x series has been removed. Also removed all `include()` references to `/wp-includes/registration.php`. Deprecated in WordPress v3.1. This file no longer needs to be included. | |
| 400 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). s2Member Updates.** New built-in news updates from s2Member developers. This appears in your Dashboard automatically, inside the s2Member menu panels. | |
| 401 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Bug fix.** Custom Post Types were not appearing in s2Member's Specific Post/Page Button and Form Generators, even when configured properly. This bug has been resolved. | |
| 402 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). Documentation.** Built-in documentation updated throughout. | |
| 403 | -* **(s2Member/s2Member Pro). UI Panels.** Some minor UI improvements. | |

Now s2Member Pro attempts to find a draft or open invoice for the subscription being cancelled, and void it. Thanks Alan for reporting it. See [post 8386](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/8098). | |
| 855 | + | |
| 856 | +- (s2Member Pro) **UI Enhancement**: Improved Stripe pro-form error message when trying to create a subscription with a bad card. Thanks everyone that reported it.

| 887 | + | |
| 888 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Enhancement**: Stripe duplicate payments were happening randomly to a few site owners, apparently from bad communication between their server and Stripe's.

| 895 | + | |
| 896 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Bug Fix:** Updating the card with Stripe's pro-form sometimes gave an incorrect "missing billing method" error. Kudos to Corey, see [post 7058](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/7058). | |
| 897 | + | |
| 898 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Small fix:** Removed Bitcoin mention next to Stripe in Gateways list. Missed it in [v191022](https://s2member.com/s2member-v191022-now-available/). | |
| 899 | + | |
| 900 | += v200221 = | |
| 901 | + | |
| 902 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Bug Fix:** In some rare cases, another plugin loaded Stripe's class before s2Member, so when s2 tried loading it there'd be an error. This release fixes the check for the class before trying to load it. See [issue #1170](https://github.com/wpsharks/s2member/issues/1170) | |
| 903 | + | |
| 904 | + **Note:** s2Member won't have control over what version of the Stripe SDK was loaded by the other plugin. You'll need to get that other plugin to have an up-to-date version. If you don't have another plugin loading Stripe, this is not relevant to you. | |
| 905 | + | |
| 906 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Bug Fix:** When using a 100% off coupon, requiring no payment, the Stripe pro-form was still loading the card field and requiring it, preventing the free signup. That's fixed in this release. See [issue #1171](https://github.com/wpsharks/s2member/issues/1171) | |
| 907 | + | |
| 908 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Bug Fix:** The Stripe pro-form, when given an invalid card, didn't give a clear error message for it, and instead just "invalid parameter". Now it shows the correct card error, making it possible for the customer to try a different card to complete the payment. | |
| 909 | + | |
| 910 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Feature Update:** The Indian Rupee was added to the list of currency symbols. | |
| 911 | + | |
| 912 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Feature Enhancement:** The s2Member Pro add-on, not being a regular plugin was not uploadable via the WP plugin manager. This made it necessary to FTP, which is complicated for some site owners. In this release I made it possible for the plugin manager to upload or remove the Pro add-on. | |
| 913 | + | |
| 914 | + **Note:** It still is not a regular plugin. The activation link or status in the plugins manager is irrelevant, but I couldn't find how to remove it. s2Member Pro activates automatically when its version matches the Framework's, and it'll be mentioned next to the Framework's version in the plugins manager. | |
| 915 | + | |
| 916 | += v191022 = | |
| 917 | + | |
| 918 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Feature Enhancement:** The Stripe pro-forms can now handle 3D Secure 2 for [Strong Customer Authentication](https://stripe.com/guides/strong-customer-authentication), as required by the new European regulation that came into effect recently. Props to those in the beta testing group, especially Brice and Felix. See [thread 5585](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/5585/). | |

| 920 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Feature Enhancement:** The Stripe pro-form now has the card field inline, instead of opening a modal to enter it. Before it required clicking the link to open the modal, enter the card details, submit that, and then submit the pro-form. Now you enter the card details as part of the pro-form. See [issue #588](https://github.com/wpsharks/s2member/issues/588). | |
| 921 | + | |
| 922 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Stripe Integration Updates:** Upgraded the Stripe PHP SDK from v1.18 to v7.4.0, and the API from 2015-07-13 to 2019-10-08. Upgraded the integration from the Charges API to the latest Payment Intents API. Upgraded the card input from the old Stripe Checkout modal, to the new Stripe.js and Elements. | |
| 923 | + | |
| 924 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Optimization:** Stripe's JavaScript now only gets included if the page has a Stripe pro-form. | |
| 925 | + | |
| 926 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Removed Stripe Bitcoin**: Stripe [dropped Bitcoin](https://stripe.com/blog/ending-bitcoin-support) last year, it's not available anymore. This update removes the Bitcoin options and mentions from the s2 admin pages. | |
| 927 | + | |
| 928 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Bug Fix:** Subscriptions without at trial were showing a "trialing" status in Stripe for the first period. This behavior has now been solved. It will only say trialing when you set a trial period (free or paid) in your Stripe pro-form shortcode. See [issue #1052](https://github.com/wpsharks/s2member/issues/1052). | |
| 929 | + | |
| 930 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Bug Fix:** The Stripe pro-form installments via the `rrt` shortcode attribute were charging an extra payment before ending the subscription. There was an error in the time calculation for this. This is solved in this release. Props to Brice. See [thread 5817](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/5817/). | |
| 931 | + | |
| 932 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Bug Fix:** Some payments through the Stripe pro-form were creating a new Stripe customer when the user was already a customer. The Stripe customer ID was not being saved correctly in the user's profile. This is solved in this release. Props to demeritcowboy for reporting it. | |

| 936 | +- (s2Member) **PayPal Integration Update:** PayPal deprecated the subscription modification button. Using the old possible values for this, now gives an error on PayPal's site. This button has been removed from the PayPal Standard integration in s2Member. Props to Tim for reporting it, see [forum thread 5861](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/5861), and [issue #1157](https://github.com/wpsharks/s2member/issues/1157). | |
| 937 | + | |
| 938 | +- (s2Member) **Bug Fix:** PayPal would sometimes return the customer without the Custom Value expected by s2Member, incorrectly triggering an error. A small delay has now been added when needed to wait for PayPal to provide the missing value, so that the customer is met with the correct success message on return. Props to Josh Hartman for his help. See [forum thread 5250](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/5250). | |

| 940 | +- (s2Member) **Bug Fix:** Google's URL shortening service has been [discontinued](https://developers.googleblog.com/2018/03/transitioning-google-url-shortener.html). The s2Member integration with it was removed in this release. Props to Felix Hartmann for reporting it. | |
| 941 | + | |
| 942 | +- (s2Member) **Feature Enhancement:** The popular URL shortening services have been abused in spam emails, and this can cause your site's emails with shortened signup URLs to end up in the spam folder. It's now possible to disable URL shortening when trying to avoid this problem. Props to Felix Hartmann for suggesting it. See [forum thread 5697](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/5697). | |
| 943 | + | |
| 944 | +- (s2Member Pro) **New Feature:** It is now possible to use a custom URL shortener other than the defaults in the s2Member Framework. This is particularly useful to use [YOURLS](http://yourls.org/) for your links, making them unique to your site, looking more professional and avoiding the spam filters issue mentioned above. For more info see this [forum post](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/5697/19). | |

| 948 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Authorize.Net Hash Upgrade:** Authorize.Net [announced](https://support.authorize.net/s/article/MD5-Hash-End-of-Life-Signature-Key-Replacement) the end-of-life for their MD5 Hash in favor of their new SHA512 Signature Key. Support for this has been added to s2Member Pro. The MD5 Hash is not provided by Authorize.Net any more, so the field for it in s2Member has been disabled. Props @krumch for his work. For further details see [forum thread 5514](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/5514). | |
| 949 | + | |
| 950 | + **Note:** For those that already used the MD5 Hash in their configuration, it is kept there and will keep working while Authorize.Net accepts it, which will not be much longer. It's important to update your integration with the new Signature Key. Once you have your Signature Key in the s2Member configuration, it will be favored over the old MD5 Hash._ | |

| 952 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Bug Fix:** The multisite patch for `wp-admin/user_new.php` wasn't finding the code to replace because of changes in the latest releases of WordPress. It has now been updated, as well as the instructions in the Dashboard for those that prefer to apply it manually. Props @crazycoolcam for reporting it. For further details see [Issue #1132](https://github.com/wpsharks/s2member/issues/1132). | |
| 953 | + | |
| 954 | + **Note:** If you already had patched this file in the past, it's recommended that you remove the previous patch restoring it to the original file, and let s2Member Pro patch it again now, otherwise you risk getting it patched over the previous one and ending up with errors. After the new patch, please review that file to verify that it's correct._ | |
| 955 | + | |
| 956 | +- (s2Member Pro) **Bug Fix:** The search results for `s2Member-List` were not being ordered as specified in the `orderby` attribute when this was a field from the `usermeta` table in the database, e.g. `first_name`, `last_name`. This is now fixed and working correctly. Props to @stevenwolock for reporting it. For further details see [Issue #1103](https://github.com/wpsharks/s2member/issues/1103). | |
| 957 | + | |
| 958 | +- (s2Member) **WP 5.2 Compat. Enhancement:** s2Member has been tested with WP up to 5.2.2-alpha. With `WP_DEBUG` enabled, only one "notice" was found. In `wp-login.php` it said 'login_headertitle is deprecated since version 5.2.0! Use login_headertext instead.' This release now uses `login_headertext` and doesn't get that notice anymore. Props Azunga for reporting it. See [forum thread 5962](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/5962). | |
