I found this solution:

http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10399&view=unread
But it does not work, perhaps S2Member has been updated since then?

Unchecking s2Member from the Screen Options for the edit page only changes my view, not customers (we allow customers limited access to the admin area.)

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Tony.

Sorry, I had a mistake in my code there. Try this please:

/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php
Knowledge Base » Hacking s2Member® Via Hooks/Filters
[hilite pre_code]

Hi Cristián

Thank you for the quick reply. I tried the new code and the meta box still shows for S2Member levels. I created a folder in the plugin directory and created a file with this code inside. Permissions on the folder are 755 and file is 644. Am I missing something?

Not in the plugins directory, but the must-use plugins directory. /wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php ;)

Sorry, that was a silly mistake on my part. Now the s2hacks.phpfile is in /wp-content/muplugins but I get an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /public_html/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php on line 6

Line 6 is:
remove_action (‘add_meta_boxes’, ‘c_ws_plugin__s2member_meta_boxes::add_meta_boxes’);

Sorry, was missing a parenthesis at the end of the [hilite mono]if[/hilite] line. It should be like this:

[hilite code] if (!current_user_is('administrator'))[/hilite]

Cristian,
I tried using this code that you provided to remove the s2member restriction box on the “add new post” page. However, it did not work. I created the necessary mu-plugins directory under wp-content and named the file s2hacks.php

The error I receive is: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘< ' wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php on line 18

The only thing on line 18 is

Please help as we are launching our website by the latest Monday morning.

Hi Ed.

The hack doesn’t have that many lines. Do you have other things there? Could you post all the code in your s2hacks.php file? Please put it inside [hilite mono]<code>[/hilite] tags or it won’t display properly.

I created a new php file in Dreamweaver. I tried it with and without <code>. Thank you for your help.

Here is the entire contents of the file:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>

<?php
add_action ('plugins_loaded', 'remove_s2_meta_box');
function remove_s2_meta_box()
{
    if (!current_user_is('administrator'))
        remove_action ('add_meta_boxes', 'c_ws_plugin__s2member_meta_boxes::add_meta_boxes');
}

I was trying to say that I tried it with and without the code tags. Thank you for your help. I took the code exactly as it is presented from earlier in this post.

I see. Please remove all the lines before the code I provided, you should just have the lines I posted earlier. And don’t use Dreamweaver, probably better if you just open it in Notepad.

I copied just your code and pasted it into Notepad. It worked! I clicked on add new post as an Author and the restriction box was no longer there. It also wasn’t there when I checked the screen options which is great. As an Admin the s2 member restriction box by default wasn’t there either but if needed, a simple click on screen options and i could always bring it back on a per post basis for setting restriction levels. Thank you very much for such a quick turnaround and all of your help.
