Conflict with WP Calendar

Hi,
We’ve installed S2 Member on confidenthorserider.co.uk, but there seems to be some conflicts with another plugin product called WP Calendar.
If you go to our homepage, and see the EVENTS box in the right hand column. The event on Aug 9th: if you hover over, the link looks OK, but click it, and it diverts to the S2 member page. Same for Aug 16th, and Aug 20th.
However, Aug 4th and 17th events aren’t affected.

I’ve raised a ticket with Abel at WP Calendar, but he can’t figure this out.

I’ve checked varius settings in S2 including URI restrictions, but there’s nothing set to divert the links (in any case, access to the calendar is publically available and no subject to even free S2 membership.

Your advice and solution will be appreciated.
Rgds,
Simon

Please see: s2Member® » Support Policy

Given this is related to another plugin (and a possible conflict); I suggest that you provide as much detail as you can that is related strictly to s2Member®. For instance, please describe what feature in s2Member you used to guard access to this calendar, and how that feature is not working as expected??

Also, if you can post screenshots in your next reply, that will work toward reducing response time. Thanks!

Hi There,
I think you may have mis-understood. The initial description describes the symptom.
S2 does not and should not guard access to the WP Calendar, yet it is blocking some of the links to it as described.

With S2 disabled, links to WP calendar are not affected. With S2 enabled, the above symptom arises. Clearly, this is an unwanted issue with S2.

Please visit the website affected to see this symptom.

Thanks,
Simon

I took a quick look. When I am redirected I’m seeing this in the address. These are called MOP Vars by s2Member® and they tell the tale about why the redirection occurred. See also: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Membership Options Page Variables (MOP Vars)

From the following screenshot (click to enlarge please); it indicates that this post (calendar page) is inside a protected category that requires Level 1 access; based on your configuration of s2Member®. If problems persist, please post a screenshot of all of your coniguration sub-panels here.

OK, I’ve checked the matter you raise, and I can’t find anywhere in S2 config that protects access prior to or after Level 1 for calendar items. No restrictions seem to be set.

Taking one link on the homepage as an example, (right hand side, Aug 09th), this link when you hover over it shows the destination as http://www.confidenthorserider.co.uk/event/sussex-surrey-confidence-booster-day-fully-booked/

HOWEVER, when you click it, you are taken to the S2 members landing page – clearly unwanted S2 behaviour.

So, in the WP Event Calendar, you can see from this image that there is absolutely no restriction set on this, yet it is restricted somehow.

Look forward to hearing back.

I don’t see anything in your reply about the category. Did you check that out?

OK, I see – the category restrictions seemed to have ‘all’ stuck in them by default, and now that they are clear, this seems to have resolved the issue.
Thanks for your help.

Great! Thanks for the follow-up. I appreciate it.
