eMember – Fatal error: Call to undefined function username_exists()

[mxmark]

I was using an earlier version of wp-emember (v5) with no issues up until quite recently and noticed for some strange reason it wasn’t working as it used do. I have made no changes to the site whatsoever for quite some time so I couldn’t understand why these issues came about??? Anyway, I decided to upgrade wp-emember to the latest version (v6) and performed a test free registration to make sure things was working fine. I have set things up where the members need to confirm their email addresses before becoming a member. The first half of the registration works fine and an email is sent out to the person filling the form in, but when I click the confirmation link to create a username and password, I enter a made up username and the popup over that box says ‘Validating please wait’ This popup stays there and doesn’t dissapear. So ignoring this I carry on with creating a username and password, then click to confirm and get the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function username_exists() in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/emember_validator.php on line 110

Our latest version of eMember is always kept upto date to work with the latest version of WordPress. Your version of WordPress is pretty old. Please upgrade WordPress to the latest version. As of now the latest version of WordPress is 3.2.1
