Bug Fixed: Adding New Crew using "User Add New" or "New User" Missing First & Last Name

Post by admin »

When adding a new crew member to the site using the WordPress menu does not offer the option to include the First Name, Last Name or Nick Name. Once a crew member is added, the new crew member or Skipper may edit the new user record to add the information.

This issue was found to be only on Crew Manager multisite installations. Stand alone sites did not exhibit the problem. The issue is widely reported on the various WordPress support forums and is due to inconsistent/different "Add user" software between multi-site and stand alone installations.

For Crew Manager the WordPress core code has been updated to make the multisite "Add user" operate similar to the stand alone sites. Fields have been added for Last Name, First Name and Nick Name. When/if WordPress updates are made the following files must be uploaded each time until the WordPress team updates the core code to incorporate this feature: wp-includes/user-new.php & wp-admin/ms_functions.php
