Customizing Pages for specific user levels

I apologize if this has been answered somewhere. I’ve looked at all the knowledge base items and have TRIED to search, but can’t seem to find anything relevant.

I have a “Join Us” page – the default, public one that anyone can see – and I am trying to add shortcodes to customize this, depending on whether the person reaching the page is a member (0-4) or not. People get redirected to this page if they try to access a part of the site that requires a higher member level (or ANY member level). They also can get to it simply by clicking on “Join Us” in the menu.

I’ve used the same shortcodes for this page that I used on the special “member log in” page, but something’s not right. All five of the options AND all of their s2if shortcodes are visible. I’ve pasted it all below. I didn’t think I needed PHP for this? The add-in you recommend is 2 years out of date, anyway.

Warning: I can follow directions, and cut and paste, but am not really a coder. Please keep it simple! Thanks!

FYI this loads correctly for me…

Hi Brenda,

This usually is caused by a theme incompatibility. Some themes will not grab post data the correct way, therefore causing shortcodes not to work. Try reverting to the default WordPress 2010/2011 theme and see if that makes the shortcodes work.

If it does, you should contact your theme’s designer. In the short-term, you may be able to activate a PHP execution plugin, and wrap the the WordPress function do_shortcode() around each set of s2If shortcodes.:

<?php do_shortcode("&#91;&#91;s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level4)&#93; Since you are logged in as a website admin, you should not have been redirected to this page. Better go check some settings somewhere. If you actually do want to change your member level CLICK HERE.&#91;/s2If&#93;&#93;"); ?>
