nned help please

I am using the free version with the latest version of buddypress and wordpress. I would like to know how to set it up so that my paid members have the ability to blog. This is single site, I do not want multi-site. I want my paid members to have the ability to post a blog on the website.

Also, if I manually add a member and assign them a level of a paid member, is there a way where they can answer the s2member custom profile field questions?

Let me go in reverse order.

If your custom fields are set to show in the profile, then yes, they can edit them when they view their profile either in the back-end (wp-admin) or in the stand-alone shortcode version provided by s2member.

In order to make this work (easily) I suggest 3 things:

1. Set your s2member->general options -> member profile modifications -> redirect members away from default control panel… set this to NO.
2. Create a link in a menu somewhere that points them to http://yoursite.com/wp-admin. This is where they will be able to view and edit their profiles and create and edit pages (based on your settings)
3. Install the plugin called User Role Editor which can be found using the search function in wordpress plugins->new plugin.

This plugin will let you change (add / remove) specific capabilites like creating new posts or editing posts to an existing user group such as s2member_level1.

It’s pretty easy to set up.

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much. Both work. I really appreciate it, I was pulling my hair lol.

One more question – I have one of my custom profile fields as website, I would like the website they enter to be clickable when the profile is viewed. Is that possible? I actually removed the question because it was not clickable, but I would like it to be. Thanks again
