Aha! Apologies, I couldn’t find the existing ticket when I searched (before my post).

Well durr…

It’s a dev site ??

I’ve got a way to go before it’s finished but the social login feature will be very useful.

Thanks for your time!

While I said the “Profile” link worked, it does, but it’s also causing the error. When I remove that from the menu the error disappears.

I’m guessing it’s because I’m using the free version?

If I can be sure that the social logins will work if I get a license for the pro version then I’ll make a purchase before the end of my project.

Thank you Collins, that has helped, however I am getting errors when I display the menu:

Notice: Undefined index: set_user_profile_shortcode in /home/xxxx/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/ppress/classes/global-functions.php on line 56

The “My Profile” and “Log In | Log Out” menu entries work however (the other menu entries don’t). Not sure what’s causing the error.

Apologies, but some login systems work with a toggle. I.e. If I am logged in, then the button on the form might say “log OUT”.

Apart from that, how do I log out? Is the only way to visit the WP Dashboard and logout using the top banner?

Like I said, it might sound like a silly question but it’s not obvious. Many of my users (when the site is finished) will have the same issues. Many of them won’t even know what a WP Dashboard is.

Ahh – apologies, but there now appears to be an error in the backend.

When I insert this code into my theme’s functions.php there is an error:

add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'pp_deregister_javascript', 99 );
 
function pp_deregister_javascript() {
 wp_deregister_script( 'jquery-ui-datepicker' );
 wp_deregister_script( 'password-strength-meter' );
 wp_deregister_script( 'pp-del-avatar-script' );
 wp_deregister_script( 'pp-sweetalert2' );
 wp_deregister_script( 'pp-jcarousel' );
 wp_deregister_script( 'pp-bootstrap-filestyle' );
 wp_deregister_script( 'pp-chosen' );
}

The error is displayed on every page in the backend and is as follows:-

Notice: wp_deregister_script was called incorrectly. Do not deregister the jquery-ui-datepicker script in the administration area. To target the front-end theme, use the wp_enqueue_scripts hook. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.6.0.) in /home/harri491/public_html/dev/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4148

I’m already using the same datepicker on my site, so don’t need it to be registered twice.

That was just what I was looking for – thank you.

I’m getting a similar issue, everything is installed and configured but the plugin code isn’t being loaded. I can’t see any references to either the javascript core code or css in the page. (I’m currently developing my own WP theme and it’s working with everything else apart from this plugin.)

Ok, well thanks for your time. I give up. I surrender! I was wrong to question your decision to break backwards compatability and you were right to change the functionality of the plugin.

Unfortunately for me, that doesn’t help at all so I need to uninstall this version and use a different plugin.

I think you may have missed my point!

Before the V7 patch this wasn’t an issue. The Login form showed the appropriate actions depending whether the user was logged in or out. It *didnt* show the login page when logged in, it showed the logout page, properly formatted.

My point is that since the patch, behaviour has changed and many of your existing users are having to put extra effort in to fix this change in behaviour. The work needs to be scheduled and carried out and you will always meet resistance in these situations.

Regarding versioning, while major version increments do introduce new features and functionality they generally respect backwards compatability. The V7 update appears to be ignoring some aspects of this, to the detriment of the users.

The original reason for me posting was that the V7 update causes the existing plugin behaviour to change, changing the flow of the whole login/out/account process.

When I was logged in and navigated to the login page, the log OUT button would be displayed. When I was logged out and navigated to the login page, the log IN button would be displayed. There was a “my account” / “profile” button there too, which is now gone. There isn’t a slug for the users’ profile page.

Now when I use the website, and am logged in, all I see is the “log in” button. Doesn’t make sense.

Now the logout process takes you to a very basically styled “Are you sure?” page.

I hope I’ve been able to demonstrate the change in behaviour of the plugin. The V7 update shows a lack of consideration as to how it used to work prior to V7. Someone made the decision to change it without really considering backward compatibility and just ran with it. Now myself and, I’m guessing many existing users, have to intervene and “fix” their websites due to the update.

In order to get my review back up, please consider making the plugin work like it used to.

That argument is true, I completely agree. Why would anyone want to see a login page when they’re already logged in?

With the 6.4.x version, going to the login (or Account) page showed the “LOGOUT” button if logged in, and also the Profile button.

When logged out, going to the login/account page showed the “LOGIN” button and also the Lost Password and Register buttons.

That made sense and it worked perfectly.

I would argue that developers shouldn’t cripple existing functionality with future updates. Whether it was intended or not, many people made good use of that functionality. Some of the best “bugs” found in certain pieces of software have become “features”!

Anyhoo.. thanks for your time, and I’ll see if I can find a replacement.

Yes, I am referring to that. It may only have been an accidental side-effect but it was most welcome!

If there is no way to make it function the way it used to pre-V7 then I don’t think the V7 plugin is suitable for my needs. Sorry for wasting your time.

In the space of 1 major version increment, the plugin appears to have lost backward compatibility.

Thanks for your reply. I don’t require the login/out,etc.. buttons in the nav menu. They’re part of my theme.

I’ve checked all slugs and they are correct, however there isn’t a slug for the users’ profile page. Previously this was available on the username/password form.

In my original question I stated that the option to view your user profile page is now missing from the login form (it was there before). Additionally, if I am already logged in then the login form used to say “LOG OUT”, not “LOG IN”. Vice-versa if I was logged out.

Have I missed something? As far as I know, the only shortcode I can use is: [theme-my-login]. Are there any other shortcode params that can tweak the behaviour of the form?
