Preliminary Questions

1. What are the system requirements/dependencies of S2member pro?

2. Can you provide me with a list of URL’s running the plugin, so that I can see some established membership sites in action?

4. Do you know if there are currently any issues running S2member on a hostgator shared hosting package?

5. Are you aware of any members who have successfully switched from http://wp-member.com/ to S2member and were able to maintain the IPN functionality for preexisting members? I cannot seem to locate anything in the current user_meta with wp-member that I can identify as the proper value to import for Paid Subscr ID (unless this refers to the standard wordpress user id, but I have no way to confirm that is what the former plugin used with IPN). The current site has hundreds of active memberships, so being able to achieve this would take a huge load off our minds.

6. If we do need to use the EOT method described here http://www.s2member.com/kb/importing-existing-subscriptions/ can the system be configured to notify the user that they will need to cancel their old PayPal subscription and start a new one? If not, what is the recommended method for handling this?

Hello Jason,

Here are my answers to the questions I can answer:

2. Can you provide me with a list of URL’s running the plugin, so that I can see some established membership sites in action?

4. Do you know if there are currently any issues running S2member on a hostgator shared hosting package?

Cassel and I already answered this in your other topic.

1. What are the system requirements/dependencies of S2member pro?

Not sure myself. However, the best way to find out is to run this server script and see how it turns out. It runs lots of tests and tells you what to fix so that s2Member and WordPress are in their best conditions.

5. Are you aware of any members who have successfully switched from http://wp-member.com/ to S2member and were able to maintain the IPN functionality for preexisting members? I cannot seem to locate anything in the current user_meta with wp-member that I can identify as the proper value to import for Paid Subscr ID (unless this refers to the standard wordpress user id, but I have no way to confirm that is what the former plugin used with IPN). The current site has hundreds of active memberships, so being able to achieve this would take a huge load off our minds.

6. If we do need to use the EOT method described here http://www.s2member.com/kb/importing-existing-subscriptions/ can the system be configured to notify the user that they will need to cancel their old PayPal subscription and start a new one? If not, what is the recommended method for handling this?

I can’t answer these two I’m afraid. :/
