  • The Export Member Data Add-On now includes a new field called full_filename - this field is a concatenation of the protocol (HTTP/HTTPS), the Site's Domain, and the filename of the Member.  This is useful when used with 3rd party email platforms that need the full URL of the member's profile page.

  • We added the ability to automatically change the status of a member from "Active" to "Past-Due" (similar to "Not-Active" or "On Hold") when a member logs into their account and at least one of their subscription payments is past-due.  Once the member pays the past-due invoice, the status of the member will be set as "Active" again. In order to activate this new feature, set the Advanced Setting auto_suspend_accounts to 1.
