I want to use S2Member plugin for Multisite Installation which would be a BlogFarm. I would like to know if I can membership system to 4 different levels with privileges of using premium themes and Premium plugins. Each level should have different set of plugins and themes which is meant for that particular member level only. Would that be possible with S2Member plugin? If so what version of the plugin has the feature

Also the privileges should also include custom domain usage, Upload Quota , limiting access to buddypress etc. Can anybody tell me what version of the plugin does support the features?

Thanks !

Hello,

While s2Member is compatible with WordPress Multisite Networking, the sites within a WordPress network are separate and not interconnected. That means you cannot share users, logins, or other data across the sites (including access control).

Please see the following from WordPress.org:

The sites in a multisite network are separate, very like the separate blogs at WordPress.com. They are not interconnected like things in other kinds of networks (even though plugins can create various kinds of interconnections between the sites). If you plan on creating sites that are strongly interconnected, that share data, or share users, then a multisite network might not be the best solution.

The s2Member Multisite feature allows you to offer the s2Member plugin to sub-sites, giving your sub-sites the ability to setup and use s2Member on their own. When you upgrade s2Member on the primary site, the s2Member plugin is automatically updated for all your sub-sites. However, things like access restrictions on one WP installation are not shared across WP installations (again, the WordPress Multisite feature itself isn’t designed to work like that).

There are plugins that allow you to get around these WordPress Multisite limitations, however they may or may not work with s2Member.

I have my own code for this and could manage to access control. But what i need are these as mentioned in the original message :

( 1. Each level should have different set of plugins and themes which is meant for that particular member level only.
2. Also the privileges should also include custom domain usage, Upload Quota , limiting access to buddypress etc. )

Hope I get help with them

Hello,

s2Member doesn’t provide any features for providing users “different sets of plugins and themes” nor does it have any way to configure privileges for “custom domain usage or upload quota”. For controlling access to BuddyPress please see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions.
