 Create custom user profile fields collected at registration or membership checkout for your WordPress users, members, and site admins.
 
 == Description ==
 
+### IMPORTANT UPDATE
+
+Since PMPro version 2.9 was released on July 18, 2022, this plugin is no longer needed to manage user fields. With PMPro 2.9+, you can manage user fields from the Memberships > Settings > User Fields page in the WP admin dashboard. Any custom code written to work with Register Helper will still work as intended with only PMPro 2.9 installed.
+
+*This plugin will no longer be maintained.*
+
+If you were using the member directory features, you should use the PMPro Member Directory plugin: https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/add-ons/member-directory/
+
+If you were using the Register Form module with PMPro, you should consider using the PMPro Sign Up Shortcode plugin: https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/add-ons/pmpro-signup-shortcode/
+
+If you were using the Register Form without PMPro, you can continue to use this plugin, but note that it will no longer be maintained.
+
+If you were using the Restrict by Email/Username feature, you should use this code snippet instead: https://github.com/strangerstudios/pmpro-snippets-library/blob/dev/checkout/restrict-checkout-by-email-or-username.php
