Since I fixed it a few days ago, it has already stopped working again. I fixed it again by copying the PayPal PDT Identity token from paypal to my s2member installation. What’s going on?

Dear Jason,

Thank you. Unfortunately that action is too soon. I tried it. It runs the check when the registration form is loaded on /wp-login.php?action=register, and fails, preventing users from registering.

I ended up successfully using the “pre_user_login” wordpress filter instead.

The reason that I suspected that the user is already created at that point is because I already tried throwing an exit(); in the error check, but the user was still being created. I checked again a second ago to make sure.

So here is the code that I am using:

function ss_registration_validation($vars = array())
{
$fields = $vars[‘fields’];
$errors = new WP_Error();
if (empty($fields[‘agree_terms_conditions’]))
{
// Handle error reporting here.
echo “ERROR”;
exit();
}
}
add_action(‘ws_plugin__s2member_during_configure_user_registration_front_side’, ‘ss_registration_validation’);

Then I register a free account without checking the box. The “ERROR” message is output, but I can then go back and login with the new username/password I created.

So how do I stop the user from being created? And is there a way to send back a pretty error message, like the kind you get when there is no email or password entered?

Thanks!

WpEngine just passed on an error log for us. It looks like a function within s2Member is throwing off an error:

Hm… Thank you for the guidance. I guess that I will try to think of a simpler alternative.

Regarding the “Submit Form”, I entered that exact code into s2hacks.php, then loaded my page with the Pro Forms payment, clicked on a credit card for payment, and the button on the bottom still reads “Submit Form”. I successfully altered the invalid coupon message by adding another IF statement to the code to ensure that the string replacement function was being loaded.

So the code works fine, it just looks like “Submit Form” is not the right string to search for.

Okay I found a workaround. It’s some sort of file encoding issue. The text export file is encoded strangely on the server. As a work around, I opened the file in Text Wrangler, copied the text, and pasted it into an export file from the local machine, then imported it. Seems to work.
