Sorry man,, I may be driving y’all nutz,,, I just noticed on WP/Dashboard/Membership/Membership it shows this:
Member counts
Total Members 2
Deactivated Members 1

Could it be the deactivated member =1 causing the problem??? The ‘Total Members’=2 is presumably reflecting my 2 admins, who are ‘active’ in Membership, I don’t have any ‘Deactivated Members’ per se,, JUST at this point 1 ‘DELETED’ user,,, different statuses IMO

Hi David, sorry for delay,,, I was distracted by another job,, but I’m back on this now.
Last I did,
1) I have 2 existing admins users.
2) I registered a user via Membership registration (form includes BuddyPress Extended Fields) – Worked fine
3) I deleted that User
4) Membership shows the 2 admins
5) WP/Dashboard/Users/All Users shows: All (3) | Administrator (2) | Subscriber (1) | Pending (0) ,,,BUT, there are only 2 users displayed in All & Administrator (when clicked & displayed) & none in Subscriber when clicked on ,,, also now after the new user was deleted shouldn’t it be: All (2) | Administrator (2) | Subscriber (0) | Pending (0),,, I would say yes, that seems logical & would be accurate to the current ‘membership’ numbers.
Note though, as far as I can tell,,, the Membership plugin is actually showing accurate info,, it’s showing the 2 admins, and no mention of the deleted user via dashboard/Membership/All Member,, including to view by filters (subscription & access levels). It’s only Dashboard/Users/All Users showing the inaccurate head count.
To be honest, this makes me a bit nervous, indicating that possibly something is ‘off’ in the DB,,, and I really want to avoid the issue/head count causing a problem (perhaps unanticipated at this time) down the road,,after the site is being heavily used by the club (Running club in the UK)

I’ve tried using the WP/Dashboard/Membership/Options/Repair Membership table stuff AND the WP/Dashboard/Tools/BuddyPress ‘Count Total Members’ And ‘Repair user last activity’ hoping that either of these would get everything back in sync.

What I’m going to do today is set up some test email addresses, register with say 10 new users,, then delete them 1 at a time & see what happens.

QUESTION:
1) You mentioned WP has a ‘Grace Period’,,, do you know where that setting in the database is,,, I Googled some & all I get is wp.com deleting accounts stuff,, totally diff subject. I’d love to set that to (guessing) 0 or null or off or false,, whatever… Seems plausible to me that anything left over during this ‘grace period’ of a deleted member/user could be the source of the unSyncness (I love inventing new words)
2) Actually had another question,, but it’s slipped my mind,, if it comes back,, I’ll edit here.

Cheers,
Kevin

Yes David, when I add positive rules for pages, I can still access the pages on all levels.
Positive rules for menus works however
Cheers,
Kevin

thanks David,,, very useful,,, I’ll give addding to my functions file a try, tha would seem the best way.
Cheers,
Kevin

UPDATE (again,,sorry people): I have found that indeed, Membership shows 1 user for the access level I registered a test user for, and also 1 user for the subscription plan I registered a test user for, even though I deleted the test user. Further, I went into the database m_membership_relationships and there was a record of a registration,,, I deleted that record (backed up of course) and NOW Membership shows no users on my access levels screen nor any users on my subscriptions screen.
But, if I go to WP/Dashboard/User/All Users, it still shows 1 subscriber, which is inaccurate.
Is this a potential problem, or am I worried about nothing???
Cheers,
Kevin

this might be related,,and I do realize that this might not be a ‘Membership’ issue at all,, it could well be a WordPress or BuddyPress issue, but:
Right now I have 2 users, both admins & NO subscribers, but if I go to dashboard/users/all users it’s showing a total of 3 users, including ONE subscriber,,, yet the 1 subscriber should NOT be there.
As I say, this might not be a Membership issue,,but if anyone has any ideas I’d love to hear it/them.
Cheers, Kevin

change the 1 to the site url?

Updating this,, but getting confused. NOW (and I don’t know why) when I delete a User (member) via Dashboard/Users/All User/delete, the record IS being removed from the database.
Trust me,, wasn’t hallucinating earlier today ??
But I am trying to figure it out,,so the prob doesn’t occur again. I have changed some of my setting (access levels and such) in Membership,,, but I wasn’t really keeping track or checking the DB as I went along,,,
so for now, problem solved ??

I experienced the same thing. I am fairly certain I have my access levels set up correctly, with visitors being the lowest.
For example, if I add ‘Menus’ to the positive rules and tick the menu items I WANT to show up, all the others are hidden, as I think it is meant to be.
However, if I add ‘Pages’ to the positive rules, and tick a few of the listed pages, ALL the pages still show up in visitor view (I actually use a different browser to test -> FF, while developing in Chrome).
My immediate solution (that works) is to use negative rules, but in most cases wouldn’t it be more convenient to accomplish this in Positive Rules,,and tick ONLY the pages we want to show,,, so if new pages are added in the future, their default would be NOT to show (that would work best for us).
Cheers,
Kevin

Hi,
Yes, I applied the patch and it works perfectly,,, the BP team say they will incorporate the patch in their next update of BP.
Thanks again,
Kevin

Hey David,, would LOVE to hear a solution,, basic problem, in the registration form, the extended profile field (i.e. not user/email/password) don’t show error messages when the fields are ‘required’ AND left blank,,, get what I mean???
My post in the BP forum:
buddypress.org/support/topic/registration-form-with-extended-fields-required-fields-left-blank-issue/#post-181985
Cheers again,,for asking!!!
Kevin Logan
PS: Forgot to mention, that as you well know,, this is ALL a BP issue,,, nothing to do with the Membership app,,,just saying ??

Hi David,
Except for 1 little issue, your advice to use BuddyPress has worked out very well,,, thanks for the advice

Thanks David,
Will have a look at BuddyPress,,,I am working on a method, a bit convulted admittedly, to make the Cimy form work in the Membership registration process,,, but it’s proving challenging ??
That said, I will def have a look at BuddyPress.
Cheers

Glad I found this post,, but I am a little confused. I’ve tried the Cimy plugin,, works fine at wp-login.php?action=register,,, but it doesn’t seem to incorporate the extra fields into the Membership Plugin page I’ve designated for registration (with or without the submissionform shortcode).
So if I want to have the extra fields, should I not use the Membership plugin registration page and make my potential site members go to wp-login.php?action=register???
If yes, is there no way to add the extra fields to the Membership plugin subscriptionform using my functions.php app?
Cheers, Kevin Logan

Possibly,,but in general I hope to find either a solution to the free S2,,, or a different app. There is far too much about S2 that I do not like (or suits my needs) to consider actually paying for it,,,

Is it possible for a new member to fill in the registration form, and then when they click the submit button and it goes to the member options/profile page, to actually use that page for the PayPal button and then click the PayPal button, pay etc. My concern is that’s not possible, because it’s probably out of order how S2 is working,, which IMO is totally lame,,and at least possibly totally lame by design.

Thanks for the reply though
