Remove "S2member" from URL of Protected pages

How do I remove “s2member” from the URL of protected pages – and add my own branding?

Thank you

Hello Derek,

If I understand what you mean, you would have to change all of s2Member’s code for that, or a lot of parts of it, cause that tells s2Member that the user should not be able to access that page.

Could you please post an example so that I can answer exactly? Thanks. :)

Just wondering if there’s a way to remove “s2member_seeking” from the url….

No that is not possible I’m afraid, you would have to change s2Member itself to remove this, and not in just 1 place. :/

ok, I’ll live with it

Just wondering if there’s a way to remove “s2member_seeking” from the url….

You mean the Membership Options Page vars? [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Membership Options Page Variables (MOP Vars)[/hilite]

There isn’t a setting to remove them, but if you don’t use them and it really bothers you to see them, you could create a rewrite rule in your .htaccess file to remove the variables from the URL to your Membership Options page. You can Google how to do the mod_rewrite rules.

I hope that helps. :)

My only concern is that a client or a competitor will see S2member, look your site up in google, and start to pick apart how I build my sites.

If my websites become really popular it might be an issue, but not yet.

So yes, if I could somehow rewrite the url for even the membership options page, that would solve most of my problems.

I’ll have ot hire someone to do this though, I’m not a coder.

Got it. A coder for this should not be expensive, it’d be a simple rule from what I understand. I’m not familiar with rewrite rules, otherwise I’d be happy to help with it.
