Hi,

Quick question: I need to use shortcodes for a free reg. form in a custom template. Isn’t it possible to write like this: 

<?php echo do_shortcode('[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form register="1" level="2" ccaps="" desc="Aktivera subventionerat medlemskap" custom="domain123.se" tp="1" tt="Y" captcha="clean" /]'); ?>

I use “do_shortcode” for other parts.

Thank you in advance,
Emily

Hi Emily.

Yes, you can do_shortcode like that, as long as the function is defined. Are you within WordPress?

Hi Cristián,

Yes, I have written this code in a template file of WordPress. And then assigned this template to a page. Like below. 

<?php /* Template Name: Membership activate steeringgroup */ ?>

<?php get_header(); ?>	

<div id="content">
<?php echo do_shortcode('[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form register="1" level="2" ccaps="" desc="Activate subvention membership" custom="domain123.se" tp="1" tt="Y" captcha="clean" /]'); ?>
</div>
    
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

This is for an installation of WP, BuddyPress, bbPress and S2Member. All forms/inputs are created in S2.

When I assign this template to a page, nothing shows, or BuddyPress seems to take over and show the list of members/users.

Any advice what could be wrong? Thank you in advance,

That sounds like an issue separate from s2Member. If something appears to be “overriding” a page that you’ve created, I would double-check that you’re not using a page name/permalink that’s already in use somewhere else (perhaps there’s already a special page with that name created by BuddyPress that lists users?). Maybe try creating a new page with a different name, assigning that page template, and then testing again.

Hi,

Thank you for response. Actually, I just tried that yesterday. Created a dummy page in wp-admin called “test” and assigned the template, but still the same result showing the list of members.

If I put the shortcode within the wp-editor of the same page “test” it works, but I would rather keep the code in the template so the client won’t change it accidentally.

Hi again,

It seems you are right. BuddyPress takes over, no matter what the page name/slug is. Any ideas what could be done to solve this, to show the S2-form by shortcode in a template?

In the body tag I see my template is active but somehow overwritten by BuddyPress

<body class="directory logged-in activation page page-id-246 page-child parent-pageid-244 page-template page-template-membership-activate-steering-php admin-bar debug-bar-maximized">

Would appreciate any help/tips,
Thank you in advance,
E

Hi Emily,

Unfortunately I’m not too familiar with the specifics of BuddyPress, so you’ll probably get more help asking this question on the BuddyPress.org Support Forums or the WordPress.org Support Forums.

I cannot think of any reason BuddyPress would override the template regardless of the page name or slug and the do_shortcode() line you shared in the first post looks correct and should load the s2Member Pro-Form properly.
