About: Dean Keeler

Christian,

BTW: Could you please ad the following quoted text to the thread I’m about to link to below. I finally solved a big problem I was facing that I suspect some other users will com searching for in the future. I hate it when I read through a thread only find that the final solution to the problem is never explained. So frustrating. Anyway below is the conclusion I’d like to add to the thread in question, as well as the link to that thread:

“After much hassle with this problem, I finally came to the conclusion that WP Engine’s architecture as a whole was preventing the signup process from completing correctly. I decided to transfer to a new host (Dreamhost). I actually had to move my development site from a subdomain over (rather than the live version installed on WP Engine, which was giving me the registration problem). The reason is that WP Engine has custom installation files, due to their architecture, and cannot be so simply transferred to a new host. Once I transferred the development site over and adjusted the necessary settings in S2 Member, everything worked flawlessly.

The final solution to this problem is then this: Don’t try to use S2 Member and WP Engine together. While WP Engine has great support and went out of their way to try to help, I decided that my problem had turned into one of those ‘black hole’ problems in web-development that very few people have. I don’t like unique web-devel problems like that, because it’s hard to find people who can solve them or have solved them. I’ve seen S2 Member work flawlessly on 3 sites and 2 different hosts. Clearly, this was a WP Engine issue. If you’re fighting this same problem, is suggest you change hosts. That should fix it for you.”

Christian: Please post that final summary to: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/user-registration-is-currently-not-allowed-2/

Thanks!
