Hi all
I've just uploaded version 1.0.2 of the Membership plugin - this version, along with a few enhancements, hooks and filters (yes more) has an extra file in the archive for users of the premium version of the plugin to transition over to (and finally stop the nags between the lite and premium versions).
2. Unzip and upload to your server - if you are installing in the standard wp-content/plugins directory, navigate to the plugins page, select to view all plugins, and you will now see two listing for the Membership plugin. Membership Premium Old version which will be activated and Membership Premium which will be inactive.
3. Activate the Membership Premium plugin - you should now have both activated and visible in the list.
4. Deactivate the Membership Premium Old version the Old version should now disappear from the plugin list and you will be running the only version left in the plugins list.
5. You can now FTP into your server and delete the membership.php file from your membership directory (leave the membershippremium.php file in place) - this is optional as there will be no issue with it remaining in place.
This upgrade will be the last time this will have to be done, but is necessary to split the premium and lite versions.

@Klark - Can you let me know the directory you have it installed in? Also what user are you using for your main admin account? If it's not "admin" then you will need to edit the membershipconfig.php file to change the main admin user account.
Yes - change the name in the define in the config file to your main (first) admin user - this will then enable that user as the first membership administrator.
Further membership admin users can be added by checking the box on their user edit pages.
Because of the admin side rules available in the premium version of the plugin, you have to specifically enable membership admins - this provides an extra level of security.
this is probably the best membership plugin out there. I tested two other premium ones, not calling names. This one uses 1/5th the DB time / queries as the others which is great when you're dealing with 300k+ page views per day.
I'm using it for a national newspaper. I know newspapers + paywall = fail, but the editors insist. So we're gonna follow the model at wsj.com. This plugin already does all the work.
I just need to get the payment gateway in order. 2checkout is the only option. When do you think this will be supported?
I'm confused. What config file are you talking about?
Theres nothing in the installation documentation at all about this. I've been setting up options etc with no exceptions except the menu disappears, but Barry is working on that ...I hope.
What symptoms would I see if its not set correctly?
I too modified my admin name.
Anyway where is this config file you're talking about so I can check what it is set up for?
I just downloaded the newest version of Membership for the second time. First time I changed the file name ... naughty me. Had to get my hosting to deactivate it.
I then downloaded it again. The same thing happened again! See below:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /home/gadenew1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/1287844429-9473/update-notifications.php on line 417
I did nothing untoward. Downloaded it. Did not file it away. Uploaded it straight away. This is the page it appears on. I don't want to contact the support people again until i get an answer. Yes, I have the latest version of Wordpress.
Followed all the directions and the membership menu never show on a single WP install. The membership premium is active and I deleted the lite one just as the directions say. any insights?
It would be helpful if there were step by step instructions for each install mu and single. I'm trying to do it on mu and I can't get it to work either. Which files go in the wp-content/mu-plugins folder just the zip ?
thanks
OK I find the install instructions and now it works fine.
I'm new to this and was wondering if there is any way to incorporate the membership plugin with the supporter plugin to offer multi tiered paid membership levels. I know the supporter plugin gives a free and paid option. I wanted to add a couple more paid levels and control access to which themes and plugins I allow users to have depending on how much they pay. Is this possible??

You are installed in the wrong directory - you need to following the install instructions

What username are you logging in with? If it isn't admin then you need to edit the membershipconfig.php file - see the reply 5 posts up from yours
@bm11100 - it would take a bit of work to do that - the membership plugin allows you to control the plugins available to a user at the moment, themes may well be an option at future date.
So you don't upload it as per usual plugin upload via WP admin? I have installed other plugins and this happened (stupidly, I had changed the file name ... happened with the chat plugin initially). Then upload the originallly named file and all was good. Not so this one.
After browsing the forums and seeing other members having issues creating and saving membership levels, I'm wondering if this is only affecting fresh installs not upgrades. I'm crossing my fingers that installing an earlier version of Membership prior to v1.0.1 then upgrading will work. http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/membership-plugin-levels-not-saving
I ran a diff between Membership v1.0.1 and Membership v1.0.2 and noticed membership/membershipincludes/database.sql is missing in v1.0.2. I also noticed in Membership v1.0.1 that the database file database.sql has CREATE TABLE `wp_1_membership_relationships is referenced twice. This produces an ERROR 1050 (42S01) at line 39: Table 'wp_1_membership_relationships' already exists.
I figured user_id, sub_id, level_id fields in the second instance of wp_1_membership_relationships where needed so I dropped the first table referenced and replaced it with one at the end of database.sql hoping that might help. No luck.
Will report any progress later in the day if I get creating and saving membership levels to work.

Hi,
I'm on single user Wordpress 3.0.1 and after activating this plugin nothing shows up. There's no Membership menu. Am i missing something?
Also is there support for 2checkout or a way to integrate it.
Thanks.

It's install in wp-content/plugins/membership
My admin account is renamed as recommended by some for extra security. So I have to manually edit that file to recognize the renamed admin user?

Never upload any plugins via WP Admin interface is the general advice we give here.

database.sql is an old file and was out of date - so was removed form the archive.
The plugin should create it's own required tables automatically.
