Localhost Installation

I’ve already looked at http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6213 But I have spent over an hour and still can get s2member to work.

My wordpress installation is at http://localhost/bbs/ and I am using WAMP. I just don’t know how to get s2member to run access rules, etc.

So far, I’ve tried these other topics without succes.

Hello Angie, thanks for your inquiry.

Have you looked under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Localhost WAMP/MAMP Developers and followed the instructions there?

Let me know if this helps. :)

Yes, I have seen those instructions, read it several times and they are not clear:

“in cases where your localhost installation runs on something other than 127.0.0.1/localhost, you need to tell s2Member definitively, by adding that line to your /wp-config.php file”

ok, so we know my instalation runs on localhost/bbs/

What line needs to be added? Where and how?

I’ve been guessing and trying different lines for than 3 hours. Any ideas?

Hi, thanks for the follow-up.

Could you please try adding this line of code:
define("LOCALHOST", true);

Into the following file:
wp-config.php
Which is found at the root of your WordPress installation, so it would be like:
www folder (WAMP installation) -> WordPress folder -> wp-config.php

Please tell us how it goes. :)

Ok, I’ve tried that again and its PARTIALLY working. Registration and Page Level restrictions work.

What is STILL NOT working is S2MEMBER CONDITIONAL SHORTCODES.

Any Ideas?

Hi Angie. Thanks for your inquiry.

The LOCALHOST configuration option should have no impact on s2Member conditionals. It sounds like you have define("LOCALHOST", true) in your /wp-config.php file now, so you’re good there.

Let’s take a look now at the conditionals that you’re using please.
~ Please post a code sample that is causing you trouble, and we’ll help by reviewing that with you.

Below is an example of the conditionals that are not working (in shortcode form). Both images are appearing in my localhost installation when I am on the page that contains them, and the [shortcode] text is showings {seems like the code is not running at all}. This happens if I’m logged out or logged in. Fair to say that on my live site they work fine.

Hi Angie.

Are the shortcodes being used in pages served by WordPress or another script? They’ll only work in WordPress.

They are being served by WordPress. The exact same pages will work on my online server, but not on my WAMP localhost server.

I see. Could you compare the plugins you’re using in the local server that you aren’t using in the online one, and deactivate them? One of them may be causing a shortcode parsing problem. If not, try changing the theme to the default one. All this as a test, of course, just to find where the problem is so you can then figure out how to fix or replace it.
