The htaccess file that I have within the S2Member “includes” folder has the following (only):

deny all.

I believe you’re talking about the deny from all command that s2Member uses. This is to prevent Users or bots from firing s2Member’s included PHP and JavaScript files. This shouldn’t be affecting anything through PHP or other server-side scripts because it’s only blocking Users coming from HTTP/HTTPS (i.e. through their browser).

Could you post the exact error you’re getting?

Great. Let us know if you have any other issues. :-)

My suspicion is that my PayPal sandbox settings are wrong….? :-)

No, I don’t believe so. I think the problem here is that you’re using a direct link to the plugin file in these two URLs:

http://*****.bluehost.com/~****/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-payment-notification.php?s2_payment_notification=yes&%%user_login%%&%%user_email%%&%%user_first_name%%&%%user_last_name%%&%%item_number%%&%%item_name%%
http://kismetwebdesign.com/ann-emailer/ann-emailer.php&%%user_login%%&%%user_email%%&%%user_first_name%%&%%user_last_name%%&%%item_number%%&%%item_name%%

You need to create a URL like shown in the example in our Knowledge Base, like you’re using here:

http://*****.bluehost.com/~****/?s2_payment_notification=yes&%%user_login%%&%%user_email%%&%%user_first_name%%&%%user_last_name%%&%%item_number%%&%%item_name%%

This one should be working correctly (or at least not throwing this error), but the others are not loading WordPress, so the add_action() function is both not being loaded and not needed.

Thank you for your inquiry.

It is possible to have Users register for free and upgrade them manually. You can do this through the WordPress Dashboard in your Users List. Alternatively, if you’re looking have some automated way to accomplish this you’ll need to use the information provided here to upgrade Users for free.

See: Knowledge Base » Changing Roles/Capabilities via PHP

Details Received.

I’m taking a look now.

So through WordPress, I believe.

What URL are you using in your API Notifications area? Is it pointing directly to the Must-Use Plugin file?

Thank you for reporting this important issue.

It sounds like there might be some corruption with your Roles. Try using the Reset Roles/Capabilities button here:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Membership Levels/Labels

And you’ll then want to also use the button here:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Other Integrations -› bbPress®

Let us know if problems persist after you’ve done that.

– I need to be able to have multiple profile fields on the same line in the forms and be able to control their width (example – child 1 first name, child 1 last name, child 1 date of birth, child 1 gender – all on one line and field width just the size needed for the data) instead of each field being on its own line and beign the width of the form page

To do this you’ll need to edit the form with CSS, if what you’re looking to do it possible that way, or by using the information here:

Pre Sale FAQs » Is it possible to modify s2Member® Pro Form templates?

– I need to be able to have the system automatically generate the Member number based on their unique variables (Sequenced Member # with a suffix of A for Spouse/Domestic Partner & B-Z for Dependents, Relationship – 0 = the Member; 1 = Spouse or Domestic Partner; 2 = a Dependent)

You’ll need to run a hook for this. You can find the validation for the PayPal Pro Forms for regular checkout here. You’ll need to change the value of the level variable based on your Custom Registration/Profile Field.

/s2member-pro/includes/classes/gateways/paypal/paypal-checkout-in.inc.php

You should be able to use the ws_plugin__s2member_pro_paypal_checkout_post_attr filter to handle this.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Thank you for reporting this important issue.

Are you getting this issue when you try to get to the file directly, or when WordPress loads?

Thank you for the assistance. I have set up the forms. I do have one other question. We have two membership levels (#4 and #3). When the EOT occurs all members are demoted to the free level. I need to determine, in a conditional, which level the user was before the demotion so I can show the appropriate form.

This is possible, but it requires a (simple) hack. I posted here on this:

http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/changing-the-eot-demotion-level-dynamically/

I just noticed that the billing modification form does not populate the current user data. It is simply a blank signup form. Is this by design or have I missed a step?

Modification Forms don’t auto fill any data, as they assume that a User is logged in, and doesn’t display unneeded data.

Thank you for your inquiry.

You’d need to do this through PHP, using s2Member’s Advanced PHP Conditionals.

You can find the PHP Conditionals here:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals
