Help with Building a new site using s2

I read all the info and watched all the videos but it’s missing the start up help ie:
1. Login and Logout buttons (where are they)
2. I see member pages before I login (why?)
3. I don’t see my account when i login

Is there any videos or documents on this stuff?
Thanks
Donna

Here is the little help I can offer:

1- the Login and Logout. I personally made my own buttons to link to the page http://yourdomain/wp-login.php?action=register. Honestly, I cannot remember how the logout button was done (sorry, it was over 2 years ago).

2- The member pages are probably not protected yet. Did you protect them with a ccap or other?

3- What account are you expecting to see? as an admin, you will be automatically be directed to the dashboard. If you are using a test member who is not an admin, you will just log in to Login Welcome Page that you will have to define here s2Member > General Options > Login Welcome page.

Hope that helps.

Hi,
thank you,

I have pages that only the members can see what menu do i put them on? Maybe that’s why they are not being seen when you login. wp has 2 menus main and sub should i put all the member pages under the sub?

Action taken: I submitted details via the contact form and referenced this Topic.

I am not sure about the menus. I only use one, and I put all the categories in it. If a whole category is supposed to be protected, I keep it there (it makes a little advertisement for me) and if someone is clicking on it, then they can either be redirected to the Membership Option page, or have a little sale pitch determined with some conditionals (so if the person has the proper ccap, they see the content, if not, they get a sale pitch).

Would that work for you?

Hello Donna, for customizing the menu probably the easiest way is to look on the left side, under “appearance -> menu”. You will be taken to the section in which will be able to do what you need.

In order to protect the pages look in the s2member -> restriction options -> page access restriction; there you will be able to add pages / posts (comma separated) in the level corresponding to that one your customers are dropped in when they subscribe.

Hope this helps
