Details Received. Thank you. :-)

I’m wondering if there’s anything that’s NOT a full blown social network (as I’m clearly going to have issues) that will allow “lighter” connecting somehow. Maybe just being able to message each other or reading each others profiles and sending email outside of the site (just having their contact email listed).

Generally BuddyPress is the answer here. You can pick and choose what features you want with BuddyPress. I’d recommend asking about the errors you’re getting with BuddyPress on the BuddyPress Forums.

Thank you for reporting this important issue.

We are aware of this behavior, and it’s something we’re hoping to look into in the next major release of s2Member. Currently there’s no way to keep this behavior from happening. I’d recommend putting up a Billing Update Form to help Users have a way to update their credit card information before the recurring payment comes up.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Authorize.Net® Pro Forms -› Billing Update Forms

I can try taking off the forward on the original log-in page and see what happens quickly if you would like.

It would be simpler to just try to log in through /wp-login.php, but if you’d like to attempt that as well that’s fine.

‘txn_type’ => ‘express_checkout’,

Can you post the shortcode you’re using?

Thank you for reporting this important issue.

I’m unaware of any reason why s2Member would not allow Users to log in, and after some research I can’t find any reports of this issue. Are you getting a specific error message?

In reading thru the log files, I am pretty confident these payments will recur on the start date given. But, I did just run a test payment, with no trial, and it still showed up as a regular payment and not part of a subscription. Did the test for a 1 week subscription and the log file shows start date a April 20th, so I’m still taking it that the 1st payment is not part of a recurring subscription until that 1st time period runs out and the 2nd payment is processed (the one a week later on April 20th).

It’s interesting that PayPal would report that the subscription hasn’t started yet. The best way to tell at this point is to check your paypal-ipn.log file and see what txn_type s2Member is picking the transaction us as. s2Member should be creating a new subscription.

Thank you for reporting this important issue.

Could you post the shortcode you are using to have Users check out?

So the 1st payment will go thru as a regular charge and the recurring profile is set up, but the 1st recurring payment is not considered part of recurring until the 2nd payment is pulled from the account, correct?

The opposite. This option will have Users see their first payment as part of the subscription. However, since you’re running a free trial it doesn’t work the same way. Your Users aren’t actually signed up for the subscription until the trial ends.

This is what i have in the header.php file:

?>

< ?php echo do_shortcode(" “); ?>

You need to use s2Member’s s2member_pro_login_widget() function.

By default the title option in the $options array is Membership Login, but you can change it. You can find documentation on how to do that here:

http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/s2member/api_functions/package-functions/#src_doc_s2member_pro_login_widget()

Does that mean i need to create and place the file in a dir named “s2memberinline” ?? What iof i’m using separate ccap folders? My current existing path looks like this:

No, s2Member is getting information from your URL by checking if for key words. You just need to put your files there like normal. If you have your files in a directory like /videos/, your URL might look something like this:

... /wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/s2member-file-inline-yes/s2member-skip-confirmation/videos/example-file.zip

Thank you for your inquiry.

(1) Does S2 work with Thesis 2.0? (WLM doesn’t)

As far as we know there are no known issues with s2Member and Thesis 2.0. We haven’t heard of any incompatibilities thus far.

(2) Does S2 integrate with SimplePress? (WLM does)

Not directly. But many Users successfully run s2Member and SimplePress together.

(3) Does S2 offer the ability to add ‘ !is_user_logged_in()’ or ‘is_user_logged_in()’ in order to present different content depending upon whether or not the visitor is logged in? (WLM does)

Yes, this is a core WordPress feature. s2Member also gives you the ability to do this without a PHP Execution plugin with Shortcode Conditionals. See: Knowledge Base » Simple Shortcode Conditionals
