Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate your patience.

but I need more help. Where do I put the conditional statement and how can i construct the statement?

I can’t really tell you where to put your conditional statement, you should ask on the BuddyPress Forums for info on that. I would guess that you’d need to edit a BuddyPress Template for this functionality.

I can give you some info on what conditional statement you might use. If you’re looking to restrict access to Users that are not paying members (assuming that you only have one free level), you can do the following:

<?php if(!current_user_can('access_s2member_level1')) { 
	// Your restrictions should go here
} ?>

If you were to restrict Users based on a Custom Capability, you might do this:

<?php if(!current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_buddypress')) {
	// Your restrictions should go here
} ?>
