Membership Options Page redirect

Hey all –

My first post on this forum. :-)

I have browsed through a bunch here, but I cannot find what I am looking for…

My wife and I are working with an MLM company as members. Four our downline I have created a membership site with trainings, important information, etc. The site now actually has open registration, but I want some content only to be available for users that I have approve to be in our downline (I have set these posts as level # 1, through a tag).

Like it is now, everyone can see the excerpt of the post, but when they click on “Read More”, they are automatically redirected to the Membership Options Page.

My question is: Is it possible to just show an “access needed” image, or a message, on the CURRENT page instead of having the user being redirected to the Membership Options Page when he/she does not have the right access?

To the s2Member team: Thanks for an awesome product!

Shortcode conditionals will do this for you. You can see the documentation from your WP admin dashboard, under S2 Member> S2Member API. Look at the “Simple / Shortcode conditional” section.

You’ll do like example 2:

Example #2: Full access for any Member with a Level >= 1.

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
    Some content for Members who are logged in with an s2Member Level >= 1.
[/s2If]

[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
    Some public content.
[/s2If] 

When you edit the page, remember to change the S2 Member Restrictions back to no restrictions, so that nonmembers can get to the page.

Cheers-
Janet

Thank you Janet for your reply.

I guess I will have to do a lot more studying… :-)
