Is s2member suitable for my website?

Hi,

I want to built a website for the following: people can freely register and freely create new posts for small, local jobs, like “who wants to fix my computer?” Students, handyman, etc. now can reply on this post but replies can only be made if they take a paid subscription. A subscription can be for a time period (like a month) or for a maximum amount of reactions (like 20 reactions) to the jobs posted. Then they have to renew the subscription. Can this be done with s2member? Needless to say that if it is, I will purchase it right away.

Hi Artel,

s2Member is not designed to allow posting of new content (i.e., WordPress posts or pages). Users can leave comments, but they’re not allowed to access the WordPress admin side. All the s2Member Levels are based on the WordPress Subscriber role capabilities, which only allows viewing of content.

It is possible to override this using a 3rd party plugin like the Role Editor plugin, which would allow you to manually change the capabilities of the s2Member Levels.

s2Member supports subscriptions for specific lengths of time and the renewing of subscriptions, however there is no “maximum amount of reactions” feature. If you wish to hire a programmer to add such a feature, you can post a job on jobs.wordpress.net. All the source code is made available for both the free and the paid version of the plugin.
