skip login welcome & membership options pages

I am trying to figure out how to not have a membership options page come up when clicking a #0 protected library but rather just have the login/reg form apear instead. Also want this to redirect to the gallery page that was #0 protected instead of the Login Welcome page. I am a beginner at this so appologize if my question has been answered already.

thanks!

Well under s2member->general options->login welcome page you can select any page in your wordpress install, OR if you want, you can put in your own url to another (protected) page.

Avoiding the membership page is a little more tricky. The easiest way I know of is to “hook” into the s2member code with something like this.

Create a directory in your wp-config called mu-plugins (if it’s not there).
Then create a file called s2-hacks.php (if it’s not there).
Then add this code to s2-hacks.php:

<?php

function no_mp_redirect(){
	wp-redirect(site_url('wp-login.php?action=register'));
}

add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_before_membership_options_page','no_mp_redirect'); //This is a hook
add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_before_wp_redirect_w_mop_vars','no_mp_redirect'); //This is another hook in the same class... I'm not sure which is the best to use.

?>

That should do what you want. I haven’t tested it thoroughly though so let me know if something weird happens! :)

Thanks for your reply, sorry for the delayed response. I am unclear as to how to do this step:

Create a directory in your wp-config called mu-plugins (if it’s not there).

Thanks!

Hey Dave, Here is the site info, I am getting a fail to create directory probably because I have no idea what I am doing :) so please any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks

http://www.cool-sf.com want the “members galleries to be behind a sign-in wall then on to the galleries..

LOL… It would help if I gave you the right directory… should be wp-content… not config… sorry about that.

I usually do this through an ftp program like filezilla or through the cpanel file system provided by your hosting company.

If you would like, I could take a look at the back end / control panel.

I have used the above code.

<?php

function no_mp_redirect(){
	wp-redirect(site_url('wp-login.php?action=register'));
}

add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_before_membership_options_page','no_mp_redirect'); //This is a hook
add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_before_wp_redirect_w_mop_vars','no_mp_redirect'); //This is another hook in the same class... I'm not sure which is the best to use.

?>

but i get the error –
Fatal error: Call to undefined function redirect() in /home/content/43/11414443/html/playandwin/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php on line 4

The i searched on google and found that function is actually wp_redirect in place of wp-redirect. So i changed code to following-

<?php

function no_mp_redirect(){
	wp_redirect(site_url('wp-login.php?action=register'));
}

add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_before_membership_options_page','no_mp_redirect'); //This is a hook
add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_before_wp_redirect_w_mop_vars','no_mp_redirect'); //This is another hook in the same class... I'm not sure which is the best to use.

?>

Now when i navigate to authenticated pages in site, then error does not come, but yet membership options page shows.
