[Plugin: PassExpire] missing function

So I changed the _fill_user to get_user_meta and now wordpress doesn’t completely crash, however passwords are not expiring.

Considering this software has some sort of activation to a “homeip.net” I’m not sure I could ever rely on this thing.

officeguy, I am looking into this as well. Not having much luck.

Let me know if you get things to actually work.

Is this plugin supported? I am going to track down the developer on twitter and find out.

…to be continued…

I’ve not gotten this to work, my fix didn’t actually fix the code, only made the wp-admin area not break.

I’d be an unhappy camper if I’d purchased this thing. Developer seems MIA.

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

I will have to look around more.

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

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

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

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