Content Dripping PHP issue

HI! I want to use the following code to control access to content based on how long a user has been a member:

< ?php if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS >= 7){ ?>
Paste in text here.
< ?php } ?>

But it is displaying the code as you can see in this screenshot of the page:
(direct link to image: screenshot)

I have PHP Execution plugin installed. I thought a plugin conflict may be the cause so I disabled all plugins except S2Member, Maintenance Mode and PHP Execution and changed from my Genesis theme to an untouched TwentyEleven. It still displayed the php code as shown in the screenshot. If I use a shortcode like:

[s2If is_user_logged_in()]
    Content for anyone that is logged in, regardless of their Membership Level.
[/s2If]

it works, but I don’t think I can do the content dripping I want using a shortcode.

So, my questions are:
– why isn’t php being executed when there is no plugin conflict?
– can I use a shortcode to achieve what I want?

Thank you!!!

Hello Michelle,

No you can’t achieve this with shortcodes I’m afraid. I believe this is because the PHP opening tags are not correct, they are like this: < ?php[/hilite] when they should be like this: [hilite code]

Thanks Eduan. I removed the space in the opening tags and deactivated the plugin I thought most likely to cause a conflict (Ultimate TinyMCE) but it still isn’t working.

I’ll have to wait until tonight to put the site in maintenance mode, deactivate everything and test it all again. I’ll post back tomorrow!

OK, tell me how it goes.

If deactivating everything doesn’t work, then I would suggest you try using the following plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/raw-html/

See if putting the PHP between that plugin’s quotes works better for you. :)
