Installed in a WP3.3.1 subfolder multisite.

On applying “Network Activate” I received the infamous “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”.

It wouldn’t deactivate, so I had to delete the plugin manually from the server, and then clean the database out.

It did this on a vanilla instal of WP and your plugin.

Sorry about that Michael,

The plugin name Terms and Conditions was already taken so so I registered the name Members Terms and Conditions, little did I know that this name is automatically applied to the plugin folder if installed via the WordPress plugin manager.

I have fixed the issue and uploaded a new version of the plugin.

You have three options to fix your install:

1) If you can access the plugin manager, updater the Terms & Conditions plugin to version 2.0.1

2) via FTP delete the wp_content/plugins/members-terms-conditions folder then reinstall via the plugin manager

3) via FTP edit wp_content/plugins/members-terms-conditions/terms-and-conditions.php changing line 30 from

define(‘_TACPATH’, WP_PLUGIN_DIR.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.”terms-and-conditions”.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);

define(‘_TACPATH’, WP_PLUGIN_DIR.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.”member-terms-conditions”.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);

Let me know how that works for you.

Hi Levy,

I get the following Error message with WordPress 3.2.1

Warning: file_get_contents(/mnt/webe/e2/70/5227070/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-content/plugins/terms-and-conditions/terms-and-conditions.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mnt/webe/e2/70/5227070/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-content/plugins/member-terms-conditions/terms-and-conditions.php on line 78 Warning: file_get_contents(/mnt/webe/e2/70/5227070/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-content/plugins/terms-and-conditions/privacy-policy.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mnt/webe/e2/70/5227070/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-content/plugins/member-terms-conditions/terms-and-conditions.php on line 82

Could you give me a hint? So far I can’t edit anything in WordPress anymore. Only the Error message shows up!

This plugin was originally designed for a WordPress MU site however I have installed it on several normal single site WordPress installations. It is useful if you want to allow open user registration to your site and want new users to agree to your Terms Of Use before they can post or access the back end.

I have not updated this plugin in some time, if there is enough interest I will update and add it to the WordPress Plugin repository.

Is it necessary for a normal wordpress blog to have terms and conditions? I mean, what is the point of having those when your not selling anything?

Hi everyone, is there any means of downloading this file(pluggins), from
http://www.wordpress.org under extent menu->pluggins. So that I can Install right away just without using any FTP software like FileZila. Or Can I search this pluggins, if yes which should I?
Cheers creator.

Love this plugin for my college hosted WP (was MU) site. However, with the change to 3.1 – it is not listing the Terms and Conditions settings for all users under Tools rather than putting it in the admin menus. Any plans to update the plugin to move that out of the view of users? Thanks for much for the plugin!!
