However, he says that Ipower doesn’t use “localhost” – instead it uses karateforkidsusa.ipowermysql.com ….
Does that make sense….any difference???

It makes sense, but the idea still stands. That error says it can’t connect to the same URL he said localhost was. You need to connect from http://www.masteryoursmallbusiness.com/members/ TO http://www.masteryoursmallbusiness.com/members/. It isn’t possible right now, so while the difference in this server’s treatment of localhost is different, it really doesn’t make any sense why that would be the cause for the error.

Let us know if you have any further questions/concerns. :-)

Thanks for your patience.

I just checked out your site, and I refreshed your General Options (I didn’t change anything), and attempted log in with a test User @ s2Member Level 0. I was redirected to this URL:

http://www.xertionfitness.com/welcome-to-our-members-area/

So it appears to be working correctly.

Is there an error log, or some way I can submit a ticket showing them the error….
They seem to not really understand…..I’m not getting through…heh.

The s2-http-api-debug.log file you sent us contains the error, and you can also direct them to this URL to see the error WordPress is throwing (connection done through wp_remote_request())

Are you describing a “remote connection”??
If so….that’s not something they do…….but it doesnt’ sound right to me…

The connection is being done through PHP’s fopen(), or cUrl. This is the same method used to do remote connections, but the connection itself is to your server.

they seem unclear what a “loopback” is…
is this a php.ini setting???

Anything else I can use to describe what needs to be done??

They should know what’s causing this. It’s not a PHP.ini file thing. It’s something they have set up specifically on their server. Tell them that you’re not able to connect back to your server from your server, rather than calling it a loopback.

Investigation Complete.

If you’ll take a look at this URL, you’ll see that it’s returning an error:

http://www.masteryoursmallbusiness.com/members/?s2_diagnostics

The code I had you upload is trying to connect back to this URL, and failing:

http://www.masteryoursmallbusiness.com/members/

This tells me that your server is blocking loopbacks, which is not something that’s normally done. You should contact your hosting company and see if they can stop this from happening. s2Member needs it to work for several things, including redirecting after coming back from your payment gateway, doing Cron Jobs (to demote Users), and many other things.

Thanks, I’m going taking a look now.

But I’m not seeing anything on the sreen if I visit the page…
I’m not a coder…so I’m not exactly what I’m looking for….heh..

The page you should be looking at is:

http://www.masteryoursmallbusiness.com?s2_diagnostics

but based on my tests just now, it looks like your server isn’t picking up the plugin at all. Mind if I try?

So if i create a new meta field in the database for user field , would it reset to 100 every time the subscription is renewed?

Not unless you make it. You could use Payment Notifications to reset the counter. It should be fairly simple to do.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Notifications -› Payment Notifications

Any updates on this?

I’m bumping this for our development team. I’m waiting for their reply.

Thanks for the follow-up.

I took a look at your scanner and I’m almost certain now that the problem here is with your server’s inability to loopback. Please try using the information in the link for the post from Cristian I posted in my last reply, and if that comes back with an error then that’s definitely the problem.
