Login/register pages

Hi, I think I’m being stupid here, but I’ve installed s2member and added a Membership Options Page (‘Register’) and a Login Welcome Page (‘Login’). However, I’m not sure how to integrate the WordPress Login/register form. Do I need to manually add links to the WP registration page (wp-login.php?action=register) to the Register page that functions as the s2 Membership Options Page?

Also, the ‘Login’ page appears in the main menu (as any other page would) but surely this should be protected by s2member and only be viewable once the user has logged in?

The software seems great, and I did a quick trial installation some months back on another domain which went well, but I can’t seem to remember what I did last time and seem to have got confused…

This entire plugin is structures in such a convoluted and messy way, I suspect few get actual clarity about it.

Hi there,

Sure, here you go:

I’ve not looked at it in a while, so the site is still work-in-progress, but you’ll get the idea.

Thanks!

It looks like you started out right but are missing a couple steps…

1. Do you want open registration or closed? right now it’s closed so you won’t see the registration form. The typical set-up is to have the user pay, then they are re-directed to the s2member registration form. That is default. If you want to change that around, you need to buy the pro version or do some custom coding.

2. If you are going with default (closed registration) then you want to add your payment button(s) to your “register” page you created. You can generate those in the s2member paypal button settings then place the shortcode into your “register” page you created.

3. Once the user clicks the paypal button, s2member should take care of everything from there assuming you entered your paypal options settings correctly. see s2member -> paypal options section.

4. The login page in the menu is probably an issue with your theme. If you’re theme is trying to use specific menus that you have not created in the admin section, then it will pull all the pages and add them to the menu by default. That’s a WP thing not s2member. In fact, when you click on it, s2member is re-directing to the “register” page correctly. :)

Hope that helps…

Dave

Thanks Dave, sounds straightforward!
