Success attribute not working…still

I’m still having trouble with the Success attriute sending customers to the registration page. Is there a better workflow? Right now, when I test it it goes to paypal and I pay and then it just gives me a register for a PayPal account… and there isn’t even a link to go back to register. Any ideas? PayPal IPN and PDT settings are in place

Thanks so much?

Here’s my test code.

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="daughters_workshop" desc="Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers: A Virtual Workshop | $129" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www.willieverbegoodenough.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="0.01" rp="5" rt="Y" rr="BN" rrt="" rra="1" image="http://www.willieverbegoodenough.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/or-buy-now-button-grn.png" output="button" success="http://www.willieverbegoodenough.com/wp-login.php?action=register" /]

Thank you for your inquiry.

I’m unsure what you’re attempting to accomplish here. Could you clarify what the idea of having a User being sent back to the free registration page would accomplish?

s2Member’s success attribute with PayPal buttons (this is not true with Pro Forms), is meant to be used as a way to send Users to information to have them check the email associated with their PayPal account. This email has a link that contains a code specific to this User’s transaction, and a User can only register using this link after checkout.

Note that with Pro Forms, you can send Users to any place on your site after checkout, and that would be okay, as Users complete registration before being sent to PayPal.

Thanks for the reply. I suppose I should connect the dots from my last support request. I’m referring to this post where I get the ugly gray register screen after checkout. I thought the success attribute would help. Can I skip this page all together somehow?

Thanks for the follow-up.

This is what the success attribute is meant to do, but in the shortcode you posted, you’re attempting to send using to /wp-login.php?action=register. The correct way to use the succcess attribute here would be to set up a page to replace s2Member’s default PayPal return page, and use the success attribute to redirect to this page. This page should mention the fact that the User should receive an email with a link to register.

Note that the success attribute is only available if you are running s2Member Pro (which was not mentioned in the thread you linked).
