Cool. Thanks for your most helpful reply. I’ll look into those other packages. I’ve got one more question relating to importing users. I read your great article “How to Migrate to s2Member Pro from Other Software.” I’ve got a bunch of paid users in a csv file, listing their date of registration for 6-month and 12-month memberships. How can I import them and preserve their correct date of registration? Should I ask them to re-register, or would it be better to use S2MemberPro’s import feature?

The documentation suggests that all registration and subscription dates are tracked by Paypal. I don’t think I’ve got paypal information for these users. Would it be possible to import these users and modify their registration dates? Does S2Member use wordpress’s user registration database field, or is it tracked somewhere else? If we decide to ask existing users to re-register on our site, is there a way to send them a coupon code or some other method to exempt them from paying again? But then we’d need some way to retroactively set their original registration dates and designate which users are 6-month or 12-month subscribers. Is getting the Pro version a necessary precondition for mass-importing, or can I mass-import using another plugin (like http://www.happynuclear.com/sandbox/amu/add-multiple-users-for-wordpress.php) or MysQl commands?
