How to filter s2Member Users?

I see I can export all members… but notice that ones that have been unsubscribed are still in the database… so, am assuming they are “demoted” or whatever you call it… and not considered “active”… ?

SO, if I export the list, what do I look for to filter out only the active either at time of export or after export?

We have MemberPro… and thought there was a way to email or send announcements to all active members… but I don’t see that in the S2 Dashboard area or am missing it.. If that’s possible, can avoid the export issue altogether.
Hope you can shed some light.

Reason: We wanted to make an announcement to all active members…
But during registration, it seems that if they don’t opt in or accidentally opt out, they are not on our Mail Chimp list…
Is there a way to assure that all paid registrants get placed in our Mail Chimp db without going thru the opt in process?

Thanks,
Christine

Thanks for your inquiry. ~ We appreciate your patience :-)

You will want to look at the “Role” column in your export file.
Anyone with the “Role” of “subscriber”, is a Free Subscriber (they either never paid, or were demoted).

You can tell s2Member® to delete upon EOT instead of demoting. Demotion is the default behavior.

Email campaigns are established on the MailChimp side of things (or with AWeber if you prefer). While s2Member integrates with these services, it’s not possible to send mail to everyone from the Dashboard in WP. You would need to send emails using MailChimp or AWeber.

That being said, if you just want to mail everyone in your WP database, there are plugins available for this.

If you’ve integrated with MailChimp, yes.
