re: since the upgrade, ALL emails listed in the member directory have a weird “null” after the @ sign now.
This is being caused by the Obfuscate E-mail plugin.

re: I got a message about your entry will be reviewed by moderator or whatever it is … and THEN … it disappears and I get an error that says: “Nonce validation failed” … yes, the word “Nonce” … ehhhh??
Nonce is a real term. It basically means a unique token used only once — number-once :). I use these to prevent spammers.

My guess is you saw the usual “Please wait, your submission is being processed.” message and then the nonce validation message instead of the “We will review and approve your submission soon.” message.

You would see this message if the nonce became invalidated which can happen for a couple of reasons. The time expired or the raw entry data was changed.

re: I have link installed but it is no longer showing the view or add member directory links at the top … they were … but no longer are no matter what I’ve done.
When logged in as you I see the “Add My Directory Entry” link. When logged in as test 5 … I see the “View My Directory Entry” link. However, when logged in as xen 2, I do not see either of the links. Which is really odd, indeed. I deactivated the “Hide Admin Bar From Non-admins” and the admin bar will not show for that user either, but shows for the others.

So something is failing…

I installed “User Roles Editor” and all roles and capabilities seem in order.

I installed the “WP Editor”, make making quick changes to plugins quick and easy.

It seems the WordPress core functions is_user_logged_in() is returning false when the user is logged in. It should return true. Something tells me this is the fault of Digital Access Pass. It seems like it is not actually logging in the WP user. If DAP does not actually log in WP users or does not consistently, well, Link simply can not work and there really is nothing I can do about it, sorry. That would be something for DAP to address.

As a test to verify this, I tried logging directly in WordPress as xen 2. This failed. So, I updated the WP user account of xen 2 with the password and then logged in. I was able to see the “Add My Directory Entry” link, as expected. Now what is interesting, I clicked logout in the menu then logged back in as xen 2 via the member login page (not WordPress) whet to the directory, guess what, now I can the “Add My Directory Entry” link.

So this, I believe, definitely confirms that DAP is not syncing the login and it seems setting the password will actually force DAP to sync.

This could also could explain the nonce validation error.

re: not sending email … still not.
The emails do appear to be sending. I’ve submitted several test entries and in each case I received the auto reply but I did not receive the submission notice email. This seems to be due the the web host blocking email when the to and from are set to the same email address. I’m afraid your host may be one of those. You’ll have to contact them regarding that issue. For now, I hardcoded the from email address to carl@missionmarketingmentors.com. Now, it magically works.
