Redirection Multisite

I keep having redirection issues lately where users get redirected to the root domain rather then to correct sub-domain to register after making their payment with paypal, anyone have any advice on how to solve this?

Hello Jaime,

Could you please post the shortcode that you are using in order for me to check what the problem may be? Thanks!

Hi Eduan thanks for taking the time! Below is the shortcode I’m using:

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="Prep Package / Prep package $25 for one year access" ps="prep" lc="GB" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="domain.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="25.00" rp="1" rt="Y" rr="BN" rrt="" rra="1" image="http://domain.com/prep1/files/2012/12/prep.gif" output="button" /]

So this button is what you use in the sub-domain correct?

Correct

Well the only problem I can find with it is the fact that the custom attribute has the main domain as a value.

Tryc hanging that to the actual URL of your website. So instead of “domain.com” it should be “sub.domain.com” or “domain.com/sub”, depending on which one is the case.

That’s really the only problem I can find with it…

Hi Eduan, well then in that case it seems to be a bug since the paypal button generator in s2member keeps giving me the “domain.com”. I’l try changing it to “domain.com/sub” and see what happens, hopefully the issue will be fixed.
Once again thanks for the help Eduan!

No problem. :)

Hope that solves the issue. Looking forward to your post. :)

Ok so unfortunately the problem seems to remain. Users are being redirected and registered at the root domain instead of the right subsite…this is a problem because after the user pay’s they don’t get access to the content they paid for and I have to manually add them to the correct subsite.

Possible workaround?

Step 1, Disable automatic redirection after the user has paid to be paypal but rather having the user obtain the registration url from the confirmation email.

So my question: is there a way to disable the automatic redirection from paypal?

Step 2, Change to the registration url sent in the paypal confirmation email from the automatically generated ( %%registration_url%%) to manually adding the url to the correct subsite registration page (domain.com/subsite1/wp-login.php?action=register)

My question for step 2: Is will s2member still recognize that this is a paying customer if I manually add the correct registration url in the paypal confirmation email?

Hope to get some feedback on my 2 questions, thanks for taking the time to read my post!

So my question: is there a way to disable the automatic redirection from paypal?

Yes and no… You need the pro version and you’re not actually disabling it, you’re just specifying exactly to where it should redirect. So it could just redirect to the homepage for example…

Step 2, Change to the registration url sent in the paypal confirmation email from the automatically generated ( %%registration_url%%) to manually adding the url to the correct subsite registration page (domain.com/subsite1/wp-login.php?action=register)

You can do this, but then it would not automatically check which sub website’s URL it should output. It would just output whatever you tell it to output.

My question for step 2: Is will s2member still recognize that this is a paying customer if I manually add the correct registration url in the paypal confirmation email?

Pretty sure no. Since this URL is a very special URL that’s generated for each and every transaction. So it has to be automatic I’m afraid.

Thanks for the help Eduan, so I think I have solved my problem. It seems to have been a conflict with s2member and theme my login plugin

OK. Glad you found the problem. :)
