OS-Mitgliedschaft-Pro 4.5.1

1. Compatible with Joomla 5.0 Native

Joomla 5 is was released last month. We worked on Membership Pro and make sure it is compatible with Joomla 5.0 native (without requiring backward compatible plugin). So if you want to update your site to Joomla 5, Membership Pro is already compatible.

1. Improve Group Membership

In earlier version, the maximum number of group members can be added by group admin to a group membership is a fixed number determined by administrator when setting up the plan. In this version, the maximum number of group members can be a dynamic number, determined by group admin when he subscribes for the plan. Please refer to Group Membership documentation to see how to setup this if you are interested in this improvement. This was a limitation of group membership, finally, I am able to improve it.

2. New Payment Plugins + Update Payment Plugins

It allows customers to make payment using credit card directly on your site without having to be redirected to Stripe and it supports Strong Customer Authentication (same as MP Stripe Checkout, but does not redirect customers to Stripe)

Various improvements are made to custom fields in this release to make it even more powerful:
