Raam, Not using Pro-Forms. Can you steer me toward any tutorials about how to get the most out of Pro-Forms please? Thank you sir.

Greetings Bruce, As a newbie, I’m getting a little tripped up trying to implement your tech support instructions. Can you clarify for me where the 3 lines (starting “input.class”) are to be inserted? Thank you Bruce. Best, Charlie P.

You are a star! Thank you Bruce. Thank you Raam. I want you guys to know that I’m completely satisfied with the resolution of this problem (the situation is 100X better than its original state). I just wanted to show you the final results (which I’m completely fine with). This is for your own internal research purposes The first screen shot shows the checkbox list before I added the CSS Styles code that Bruce recommended. The second screen shot shows the after result. Both results work for us, but I just wanted you to see how the lines of text dropped a little below the checkboxes. Before After Again, we’re not complaining. We are fine with where we are.

EUREKA! Bruce, thank you for working on this. 2 spaces between the checkbox and the description is absolutely fine (it’s certainly better than my hair-brained idea of a stream of dots). This is a very minor item, but after the first line, the rest of the checkboxes are off a little (see photo below), but I’m not complaining. I am very happy to have this ability to list the checkbox items neatly like this. Here’s the data I used (not sure why this is happening, but per your direction, I typed the code you provided before the first line’s option label, but the code doesn’t show there after saving the changes – it looks as follows): Thank you Bruce.

Just tested on an Android tablet – bad result. I don’t think my fudged-fix is going to be the answer. Here’s how it looks on the tablet. If only there was a way to throw in a hard carriage return after each multi checkbox item, that would just solve this and make the multi-checkbox fields look like any other site where checkboxes are all nicely lined up along a left edge.

Raam, Okay, I tried the multi-select drop down list – that won’t work because not everyone is going to be smart enough to (1) scroll down the list to see what the entire list includes, and (2) always know how to Ctrl+select items correctly. Here’s what I did (and it’s incredibly inelegant and I’m not proud of it), but I added a bunch of dots after each item to force the next item in line to wrap around and fall to the next line – new\|New to the Industry (no experience yet – here to learn) . . . . . . . . waiter\|Waiter/Waitress (Food and Drink) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . cocktail\|Waiter/Waitress (Drink Only – i.e. Cocktail Waitress) . . . . . . . . . . . frenchrussian\|Waiter/Waitress (with French or Russian Service Experience) . . . . . gueridon\|Waiter/Waitress (with Table-Side “Gueridon” Service Experience) . . . bartender\|Bartender . . . . . . . runner\|Food Runner . . . . . . . busser\|Busser . . . . . . . . uncertifiedwine\|Sommelier / Wine Steward (Uncertified) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . certifiedwine\|Sommelier / Wine Steward (Certified) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . host\|Host / Hostess / Seater / Greeter . . . . captain\|Maître d’ / Captain . . . . trainer\|Trainer . . . manager\|Manager . . . gm\|General Manager . . . owner\|Owner . . . marketing\|Marketing . . . . . other\|Other (please describe briefly below) Here’s how it displayed (first on Chrome, and then on IE – it looks a lot better than the wrapping checkbox items did, but it’s a very imperfect solution): This reply was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by Charles P..

Raam, Thanks for diagnosing this. I am going to try a couple of different things on this end and see what we can do to get the end result we are looking for. I will report back here and let you know. Thank you again. PS – The good news is we can go back to using the theme we were originally using – we’re not going to have to live with boring old TwentyEleven.

Raam, I followed your advice and got a very strange result. I have deactivated all other plugins, and have changed the theme to TwentyEleven. When I generate the Registration Form using the link found at s2member>General Options>Login/Registration Design, the Registration Form still shows with the old formatting (and the wrapping of the textbox fields). The rest of my site has updated to the formatting of TewntyEleven, but apparently not the s2member reg form. I tried both refreshing and reloading the page, but the form is still stuck with the old layout. Any ideas? Thanks. This reply was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by Charles P..

Raam, Thank you for explaining this situation. I now understand something I really had zero understanding of before – that the 3rd party themes can be problematic for s2member. Is there a list anywhere of WP themes that are known to be (relatively) surprise and problem free with s2member? A list like that would be HUGE. Essentially a compatibility table to help s2member users increase their chances for a problem-free (or at least problem-reduced) experience. I will test the issue with TwentyEleven theme, but that theme is not formatted well for our needs, so any suggestions on other compatible themes would really be appreciated. Thank you again Raam.

Cristian, I don’t think I’ve ever received a tech support response like that from a company that I have paid money to for a product. Isn’t this the purpose of a tech support forum – to help customers with things like this? In response to your response, these customizations shouldn’t be hard, but without documentation covering how to do them, they would be hard for many people who aren’t developers. To make this support request easier for everyone, I’ll throw away 3 of my questions. All I really need help with is how to configure the checkbox list so that there is 1 item per line. Thank you.

Thank you Bruce. I may want to hire you for some development work. Can we communicate privately about rates?

Bruce, I could use a little more of your help. I’m realizing I have 3 layers of “stuff” that has to be configured for my site: bottom layer – WordPress middle layer – theme top layer – s2memberPro Where I (as a site owner) gets tripped up would be something like the following – The font color for the fields on my Login / Registration screen is too light (grey text on white background). I’d like to make it black (seems simple enough). But in the s2member Login / Registration Design settings, the only font color setting is “Color of Text on top of your Background:”. Nothing about color of text in fields. So I search around my theme settings – nothing there. For site owners new to WordPress and s2memberPro, this is very frustrating. It seems like a simple setting, but it’s nowhere to be found. Is there a learning resource anywhere that can help new site owners (such as me) easily learn where to look for settings such as that, and also learn how the whole structural interrelation between WP, the theme, and then a plugin like s2Member all works together and which settings take precedence over others (and concepts like that)? Thank you Bruce.

Bruce, Thanks for the suggestion. I’m brand new to s2MemberPro, Word Press, and I’m not a coder. I’m a neophyte. Can you walk me through the actual steps? First, what is the “Form Edit Lightbox”? Thank you Bruce.

Eduan, I have just tried another plugin (The Ultimate Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode Plugin) by SeedProd http://www.seedprod.com/ . Curious is you have any compatibility knowledge regarding this plugin and S2MemberPro. Thank you.

Eduan, I tried that plugin, and I’m having some trouble configuring it to do what I need it to do (and the lack of English-language documentation isn’t helping). Any input you can offer for how to put my own HTML and images into the maintenance page? If not, any other ideas on how to accomplish what I’m looking to do? Thank you sir.

Greetings Eduan. Thank you for your response. No, I have not tried that plugin. Do you feel it will “play well” with S2MemberPro so that I can continue building and testing as an Admin behind the public page? Thank you.

Eduan, Is there any way to customize this functionality? Ideally, we would want to send those who have NO MEMBERSHIP at all to one page which explains that they need to be a member, and then offers them the ability to purchase a membership. For those who ARE MEMBERS, but are attempting to access content that their membership level does not have access to, we’d like to re-direct those members to a page which explains that they don’t have access, but can upgrade their membership level so that they can access that upper-level content. Is this type of customization available, or does s2member simply bounce ALL PEOPLE 9regardless if they are members or not) to the same generic page? Thank you.
