Bug Fixes

Member Deletion with Stripe Fix

Fixed a critical issue where users were unable to delete members when Stripe was connected to their Ghost site. The bug was caused by incorrect parameter passing in the member deletion process:

• The destroy method in the members-api was being called without the required options parameter
• This caused an error when the system attempted to read the cancelStripeSubscriptions property
• The fix properly passes both data and options parameters to the destroy method
• Updated the Stripe cancellation method for member deletion

This resolves issue #12150 which was preventing proper member management for sites with Stripe integration.
