What changed in this version
Version 3.1.2
- New: Added new WordPress Abilities for team account operations.
- Improvement: Hardened the security of the plugin.
- Improvement: Team Accounts — the "Manage Your Team" and "Join Your Team" pages are now created only after Team Accounts is enabled on a membership, instead of on every install.
Version 3.1.1
- Improvement: Enhanced multilingual support with additional translations.
- Fix: Team Accounts — the "Manage Your Team" and "Join Your Team" pages were automatically recreated after being trashed, set to draft, or permanently deleted. They are now seeded only once, so removing them stays permanent.
Version 3.1.0
- New: Team Accounts — sell and manage seat-based team (corporate) memberships, letting an account owner invite, add, and remove members under a single membership.
- New: Create variations of a membership to offer multiple tiers or options from a single access group.
Version 3.0.1
- New: Introduced Pro WordPress Abilities support for advanced membership management and membership analytics access.
Version 3.0.0
- New: SureMembers is now split into two plugins — SureMembers Core (free) and SureMembers Pro (premium). This release converts SureMembers into the premium add-on that extends SureMembers Core.
- New: Added a dependency check — SureMembers Pro will only load when SureMembers Core is active, with an admin notice prompting users to install Core if missing.
- Improvement: Moved base content restriction, access group management, login customizer, redirection rules, and LMS integration to SureMembers Core. Pro now focuses on advanced features: drip content, block-level restrictions, downloads protection, user role sync, login restrictions, email templates, and CSV user import.
- Improvement: All existing access groups, user assignments, and settings are preserved during the transition.
