Thank you for your inquiry.

My data is parsed in the file this way:

,aarnold,xxx(hidden for public view by me),Adrienne ,Arnold,aarnold,paypal,7/31/2012,level1,xxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com

The error seems to be in the format of your file. You must put the fields in the order that they are in the header of the CSV file. Also, the data you had for User Role was incorrect. level1 needs to be s2member_level1.

I can confirm that the following CSV File would import correctly:

"ID","Username","Password","First Name","Last Name","Display Name","Email","Website","Role"
,"aarnold","thispassword","Adrienne","Arnold","aarnold","xxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com","","s2member_level1"

In the future, I would recommend first exporting your current Users, then importing them with your new entries so you have an example of the layout that you need to following to import members.

The last week ive been having problems with saving post/pages. In my sql-loog i found this:

It looks to me like a conflict with SQL syntax based on your log entry. I can confirm that this error does not occur in a normal installation of WordPress 3.5.1 and s2Member + s2Member Pro v130221.

I would suggest contacting your hosting provider regarding this error. They should be able to give you a better idea of what’s going on here.

Thank you for your inquiry.

The best way to find what s2Member uses for deciding if a User can see a Post would be to look in this file:

/s2member/includes/classes/posts-sp.inc.php

I can tell you that s2Member does store the info for the required Custom Capabilities in a serialized array in the post meta field s2member_ccaps_req, which you have set up in in your example. This is set up the same way in this file (line 118):

/s2member/includes/classes/meta-box-saves.inc.php

If you continue to have problems, I would recommend first checking that the Post Meta field is being populated correctly when you call on the update_post_meta() function.

thanks for the updated code. Unfortunately it seems to have no effect on where my users are redirected to after sining in. When having the edit_posts role permission enabled for users with role “access_s2member_level0″ they all seem to be redirected to http://www.website.com/blog/wp-admin/

I can confirm that the code that I posted works on in a normal installation. However I can note that this will NOT force a redirect if the redirect_to variable in the URL is set.

Please check the URL that you are trying to log in with. Make sure that is like this:

http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php

and does not have a redirect_to variable like the below:

http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php/?redirect_to=/wp-admin/

Well…I canceled the previous recurring payment, but it gave an automatic EOT, which I would think it shouldn’t have if it had connected the modified annual payment to her profile. But I changed the EOT to reflect the annual payment and hope that will be enough since it said in the guide that s2member “will obey” what I put in there?

This is intended behavior, assuming that you still have the account’s Paid Subscription ID filled in with the Transaction ID from the original subscription. You should first remove this from your User so s2Member will not be able to link the User with the transaction. Once this is done, s2Member can simply ignore the cancellation.

Not really. Because of the Paypal messes and because I will soon be raising the price, I want to easily offer only my current members a new annual payment. I plan to announce it this week. So I wonder where to send them to find the subscriber modification button to allow the change. I wouldn’t want it on the public membership page.

If that’s the case, I would recommend a little creativity here. Try creating your Pro Form with the new price with a Custom Capability as well, such as “price_1”. Then you can use Shortcode Conditionals on the page where you have your Modification form, and change the price based on whether they have this new Custom Capability or not. Users without the Custom Capability would be your older subscribers, and therefore would get the lower price.

Thank you for your inquiry. We are sorry for the delay in response.

We have a new IT Association and we need to have a very comprehensive list of questions answered in
the member application/registration/sign up. Can S2 member pro accomplish this?

The fields would need to be searchable by the public, such as “How long have you been in business”, and the abilty to

s2Member is definitely capable of requiring Users to fill out Registration Forms as they sign up. However, your requirement of being able to search through these fields is not yet supported by s2Member. This functionality would require custom code on your part.

The reason for this is the way that s2Member stores its data for Profile/Registration Fields. All of the values are stored in a serialized array in your database, and therefore are not searchable through normal WordPress functionality. This is something we’re addressing in the next major version of s2Member.

Glad to hear you fixed your issue. :-)

Thank you for your inquiry.

I did a test and got this to my test user.

[Name of WordPress] Your username and password email that is sent after a member pays.

It sounds like you’re looking for the edit panel for the New User Email Configuration. That’s located here:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Email Configuration

Thank-you for the information.

Thanks for the kudos! We’re very happy to help. :-)

Thanks for the follow-up.

So I guess there’s no way to block the access at expiration date?

s2Member does allow you to completely delete an account via the Automatic EOT functionality I mentioned above. You’d want to change the Auto EOT settings to reflect this here:

Otherwise, the best way to just “deactivate” User accounts is to restrict your content at s2Member Level 1+. This way they are unable to access any of your content if they are s2Member Level 0 (aka a Subscriber).

Thank you for your inquiry. We are very sorry for the delay in reponse.

To enable SSL on a specific Post/Page, with s2Member, you will need to have an SSL Certificate for your site. You can then add the following to the Custom Fields area in your WordPress Add/Edit Post/Page section (you may need to enable this section in the Screen Options panel at the top right of your screen).

Thank you for your inquiry. We are very sorry for the delay in reponse.

Should I buy s2? or is there another product which offers better value for UK users?

I am aware of quite a few Users of s2Member who have sites that run s2Member with UK PayPal Pro accounts. So this is possible. However, some other payment gateways (such as Authorize.Net) may prove to be a problem for you, as they require a US-based bank account to function.

For a full list of payment gateways s2Member Pro supports, see:

What payment gateways does s2Member® support?

I basically want to turn my site into a subscription site, allowing only member access to certain pages, with a simple 1 off yearly payment option for access and registration to the site, using paypal, credit/debit cards as well as as many other payment options as practically possible. I don’t want to go messing around with the HTML, but want a simple option to get this working quickly and simply.

s2Member should be able to handle this just fine, without any customization to code, or any special setup other than just protecting your Posts/Pages, and setting up your Membership Options Page + PayPal Options. These are all steps that need to be followed by any site owner, and s2Member guides you through the process with its Quick-Start Guide, and you can find info on setting s2Member up from our numerous video tutorials here:

s2Member® » Video Tutorials

Of course, we’ll be here to answer any questions that you have regarding how to set something up with s2Member past that.

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