Some Membership Level Hooks not firing when Adding or Updating a Membership Level from PMP Admin Panel (Settings)

[cjsdfw]

Describe the bug
When Adding or Editing a Membership Level from the PMP Admin Panel (Settings page) I expected the following action hooks to be fired but they are not:

When Adding:
"pmpro_add_membership_level"
"pmpro_added_membership_level"

When Editing:
"pmpro_updated_membership_level"

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Hook to the referenced pmp hooks
2. Go to PMP Admin Panel (Setting page)
3. Executre the action: Add or Edit a membership level

In order to acertain that the hooks are not fired, I follow three independent procedures:

1. XDEBUG Approach

• Making use of XDEBUG, I placed a "Stop/Pause" execution inside my callback functions to the referenced hooks.
• Program never stops.

2. Hook to WordPress Action "all" Hook and log PMP related hooks called during the Add/Edit Membership level procedures.

• I created a callback for the WordPress "all" hook and logged the name of any PMP action hook executed while I Add or Edit a memebrship level from the PMP Admin Panel (Settings page).
• The referenced hooks are not logged.
• I attached the logs to this report for your reference.

public function on_vtm_all_hooks( ){ return; // remove or comment out to log hook data $findstr1="pmpro_"; $called_hook = current_filter(); $result1 = str_contains($called_hook,$findstr1); If ( $result1 ){ $logpath1 = VTM_DIR_PATH."PMPRO_hooks.log"; error_log(date("d-m-y, H:i:s") . " PMP Hook: " . $called_hook . "\n",3,$logpath1); $findstr2 = "membership_level"; $result2 = str_contains($called_hook,$findstr2); If ( $result2 ){ $logpath2 = VTM_DIR_PATH."PMP_Membership_Level_hooks.log"; error_log(date("d-m-y, H:i:s") . " PMP Hook: " . $called_hook . "\n",3,$logpath2); } } return; }

3. I searched PMP Code to locate where the referenced hooks are fired (do_action(action_name) ), and placed an XDEBUG "Stop/Pause" execution on those lines: program never stops.

• Class: PMPro_Membership_Level
• File: class-pmpro-levels.php
• Lines: 135 & 190
• I did not find any other place on PMP code where this hooks are referenced.

Expected behavior
I expected the referenced hooks to be fired so I can take appropriate integration actions in my plugin.

Isolating the problem (mark completed items with an [x]):

• [X ] I have deactivated other plugins and confirmed this bug occurs when only Paid Memberships Pro plugin is active.
• [ X] This bug happens with a default WordPress theme active, or Memberlite.
• [ X] I can reproduce this bug consistently using the steps above.

We currently are working towards using the newer PMPro_Membership_Level class (https://github.com/strangerstudios/paid-memberships-pro/blob/dev/classes/class-pmpro-levels.php).

There isn't full coverage using this class yet and is not triggered within the wp-admin (dashboard) and why it's not firing. Some gateways are using this and would fire the hooks.

If you need to run code when a level is created or updated within the WordPress admin area you may use the pmpro_save_membership_level hook - https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/hook/pmpro_save_membership_level/
