Really hoping someone can shed some light

Hi, i am a complete newbie and really need to understand if what i want to do, will work.. Any advice/suggestions are really appreciated.

On my domain name (Example: http://www.mywebsite.com), i have the front end wordpress website installed in the root-directory, this has the sales page, etc….. I have created a directory named /members (Example: http://www.mywebsite.com/members) and uploaded wordpress to this and installed the theme and s2member plugin.

I understand that the s2member plugin provides the paypal buy it now buttons, but what i want to know is, will they work on the front end wordpress site (www.mywebsite.com), even though they are on a different wordpress installation and not on the installation that has s2member on it?

I really hope this makes sense.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi James.

No, they won’t. The s2Member shortcodes will only work in the WordPress installation where s2Member is active.

If you want to have PayPal buttons outside of the WP with s2, then you need to create them over at PayPal following these instructions: Knowledge Base » Using PayPal created buttons

Those buttons will work for new users, but not to upgrade existing ones.

I hope that helps. :)

Great. Thank you so much for your help Cristian

No problem! Glad I could help. :)
