Thank You Ahmed. Great Work. I tried to uprade Ver 1.0.49 and WP Said Said. I downloaded it from The Upgrade Users Link. What am I doing wrong. Do I deactive the current version, then Upload and try to install Latest Ver?
try to overwrite your old plugin files with new plugin files via FTP. I think there’s no specific or hard procedure to upgrade.
It won’t OVERRIDE YOUR SETTINGS, but if you modified css file, or templates in core plugin they will be replaced if you didn’t back up.
Solution?
Use the templating way to edit your css/skins/templates. example:
Create /userpro/ folder at your theme folder
now to edit login.php template for example, keep the customized version in login.php in your theme/userpro/ folder rather than /plugins/userpro/templates/ folder got it?
For skins, similar. do in your theme folder userpro/skins/default/style.css (with modified styles, css)
This way you AVOID editing css/templates in CORE plugin and keep updates without an issue.
If you install and activate the following plugin “Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades” (It’s available on WordPress.org), you will be able to upload and update any installed plugin or theme. I have used it for a couple years and it has never failed me yet. I hate having to ftp to update. And this plugin resolves that for me. Just make sure when you go to the “Add New” and choose “Upload” if you have a plugin installed, choose “Yes” in the dropdown before you click on the update button.
I hope this helps 🙂
Thanks You Gents!! Very Informative. I’m Still Learning Daily. You guys are pros, and I’m a willing, creative and dedicated student. Hats Off To You two and Ahmed!!! I’m about to grab the plugin and create the folder for future upgrades & changes. Blessings
@Central Geek Thank you for the plugin advice brother….It Worked Like A Charm!!!! Whew!..Life Saver….lol Off to my Control panel to add that new UserPro Files Folder. Thanks Again Guys.
You are welcome, I’m glad to hear that things are all sorted out for you! 😉
thanks agin @keyhanjun. I do have a qucik question related to the upgrade if it’s not a bother. Just upgraded everything was fine until i look at the members list it was all out of wack. I checked the code it was the right Code I selected before the upgrade…[userpro template=emd]….then I went to Permalinks and Hit save. Everyhting Came Instantly back to normal. Looks like it did before the upgrda. The question is this Is there a code to add to [userpro template=emd] in order to Remove the First & Last Names…and TOTALLY just have the “Profile Display Name” to show up when someone is veiwing the members in the Members Directory. First and last Name is too much for what i need on my website. Second, what should Permalinks Setting be selcted too. Mine are on Month and Name…is that wright or wrong. Don’t know much about Permalinks. Thanks Any help would be appreciated…trying to finish this project by 8:am est. Blessings.
@TheProductGenius You can use the shortcode option emd_fields=’first_name,last_name,gender,country’ customize it to your liking 🙂 this can accept any custom fields.
Is that what you ask about? 😉
I mean you can remove them, or make emd_fields=0 or emd_fields=’mycustomfields,…etc’
Yes this is what i meant. So how should the code look that I want to create
for ex: should it be…
A) [userpro template=emd=]….[userpro template=emd=profile_display_name,Singer,gender,city_state]
Thank You For This. I’m learning “HOW” to use the Shortcodes and make different combinations that display on page with them. I learn quickly from instruction. Blessings.
If you just want to show only gender and country use it like this:
[userpro template=emd emd_fields=’gender,country’]
Or if you want to add a custom field to the first example, e.g. Singer do it like this:
[userpro template=emd emd_fields=’singer,gender,country’]
To your other question:
Q:
TOTALLY just have the “Profile Display Name” to show up when someone is viewing the members in the Members Directory.A:
Just use the “Make a field hidden from public by default if field is hideable” option on all fields you want to hide.This way no other users except the profile-owner himself and the admin is now able to see these kind of fields whether they are logged in or not. 😉
Here is a screenshot:

keyhanjunWow!!! Thanks keyhanjun, such a small lesson, is going to have A Najor inmpact on my website and ME LEARNING How To Use Shortcode and understand their structure and make-up. Blessings….I’m on this Right now! Thank Yo Again.:D
Keyhanjun, it worked great!!!!! I’m learning. Thanks. Now the City and State are showing up in the Members Diectory on their Profile Cards Just As I Wanted. *****Let me ask you this…it’s the reverse of what you Showed me in the above example. Just Trying Something New…..1) Instead of making members NOT Visible to the public/community, how do I make them VISIBLE to all….and INSEAD of SINGER…..I Want Every User That Join During Registration to Choose What Thier Artistry Category Is from Either A Drop Down List or By Picking A Circle for Their Artistry
Example:
O Producer
O Singer
O Contenmporary Dancer
O Lawyer
etc….I NEED THIS TO BE A REGISTRATION Feature During Sign-up. I 1st have to create the fields for the Different Types of Artists…Then drag it to the registration field? After that…Because they ReGISTERED and chose WHAT KIND OF ARTIST THEY are….It Should Automatically SHow up as an Atribute in their Profiles…So it should also, show up in the Members Directory just like as described about. With Each Members Individual Artistry. Because I DON’T want to have to manually add Every members Artistry to ANY PAGE. Thanks, Hope I Was C;ear and Not all over the place…lol. Blessings.Q:
Instead of making members NOT Visible to the public/community, how do I make them VISIBLE to all….A:
1. Just do not check any privacy setting within fields, that’s it. 😉2. Under “Global Options” be sure to have these settings checked:
For your other question about the “available roles in UserPro registration” this has already been requested so please add your +1 to this thread:
