Thank you for reporting this important issue.

When new member registers, it should be subscribed to our list. But in “account”->”API Keys” page in MC account shows an error (call failed) and a message “(250) List_MergeFieldRequired”.

It sounds like you have a missing or invalid MailChimp API Key here. Could you please follow the instructions provided to set up your API Key again, and see if that fixes the issue?

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› MailChimp®

Please let us know if problems persist.

Details received. I’m running an investigation now.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Basically, we’d like our members to be able to login and view their payment History without having to keep on receiving e-mails detailing an individual transaction: we think having their billing displayed on their profile is important to them as well as to our custy service agents when they help them out.

No unfortunately s2Member currently does not have this functionality. We’ll take this as feature request.

If you’d like to keep a log of transactions that a user has a made, and you are okay with integrating some custom code, s2Member does provide a large array of Hooks and Filters within s2Member’s IPN Processor. A hook that many Users of s2Member use is located within /s2member/includes/classes/paypal-notify-in.inc.php.

See: http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/s2member/paypal/c_ws_plugin__s2member_paypal_notify_in/

s2Member’s API Notifications may also work for you. Specifically Payment Notifications would work here.

Thank you for your inquiry.

I need this form to collect an email address for sending confirmations, etc, but can’t seem to figure out how to all users to enter an email (and have it update their profile).

There’s currently no way to handle this directly through s2Member’s Billing Modification Forms. Instead, you will need to have users update their email address before you allow them to see your Billing Modification Forms. To check if a user’s email is set you could do something like this in a Post/Page, using s2Member Simple Shortcode Conditionals:

[s2If get_user_field(user_email)]
    Display the upgrade form
[/s2If]

[s2If !get_user_field(user_email)]
    Display a notice that the user needs to update their Email Address.
[/s2If]

Is there any way in PRO to override the sequential membership structure of s2member framework?

No. s2Member’s Membership Levels are meant to be incremental, meaning that s2Member Level 1 will always have access to what’s protected at s2Member Level 0, etc.. If you’d to protect content without this structure, I would recommend using Custom Capabilities. Custom Capabilities are NOT incremental, and can be assigned to any Membership Level. Users can also have multiple Custom Capabilities at a time, making them very powerful.

You can protect content with Custom Capabilities just the same way as Membership Levels. Such as through the Add/Edit Post Panel.

See: Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities)

is there any way in PRO to set a different login welcome page for each membership level?

Yes, you can send users to different Login Welcome Pages by editing the Login Welcome Page URL with the Replacement Codes that are available here.

For example, if you put http://yoursite.com/lwp/%%current_user_level%% here, an s2Member Level 1 member would be sent to http://yoursite.com/lwp/1/. This way you can create multiple pages for each Membership Level.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Login Welcome Page

When visitor clicks on protected content he is redirected to “Membership Options Page”, it if fine but it is a little confusing too. Is there any way in PRO to instead redirect user to any other page which could say something like” sorry, the content you are trying to see is reserved for our paid members, if you want to become a member click here ( and then user is redirected to “Membership Options Page”)

s2Member passes Membership Options Page (MOP) vars when a user is redirected. If you’d like to accomplish this, you can access these variables through PHP, and display messages depending on where the member was redirected from.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Membership Options Page Variables (MOP Vars)

Will s2member pro installation require some work and updates or is it seamlessly integrated with s2member framework?

Once you upload s2Member Pro, the module is automatically loaded into WordPress when the s2Member Framework is activated. s2Member Pro does not require any more customization past what you have already set up with s2Member, but if you’d like to set up s2Member Pro Forms, or another payment gateway, you will need to create your new Shortcodes and replace the old Shortcodes you were using with the s2Member Framework.

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

Thank you for your inquiry.

Is there something similar I can do to only show the “real estate industry” custom field their price and “add to cart” button only?

s2Member’s Shortcode Conditionals currently cannot support this, but s2Member’s Advanced PHP Condtionals can.

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

Something like this would work, if your Custom Registration/Profile Field’s ID/slug were typeof:

<?php
$field = get_user_field('typeof');
if($field === 'the necessary value') { ?>
This is where your Shortcode would go.
<?php } ?>

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

Thank you for your inquiry.

I am reviewing this thread now.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Do I need to remove S2MemberPro or just deactivate it during install?

While it’s true that installing s2Member after BuddyPress is generally the best method, you can still install BuddyPress after s2Member is installed. I can confirm that this works just fine.

You may need to go back through your General Options after you install BuddyPress, though.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options

Thank you for your inquiry.

If you’d like to send a User’s password to another application on signup, I’d recommend using s2Member’s API Notifications (specifically, Signup Notifications).

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

Here you can set s2Member up to send your other application your user’s details when they sign up, such as First and Last Name, and Username and Passsword. This data is passed through special replacement codes available in this section.

Thank you for reporting this important issue.

I’ve looked at the paypal ipn log and everything looked like it went through ok. Any idea why he might have been bumped to a level 0?

Could you please post the Shortcode that the Customer used for this transaction? Also, could you please check in PayPal to ensure that the payment went through properly?

Also, please send us the log files that were created for this transaction via our Private Contact Form:

s2Member® » Private Contact Form

I want to assign my content to specific user not to all user level. For example I want to give access to level 0 users but not for all but for selected user form 0 level user. Is this something possible to do with S2Member Plugin ?

This is not possible directly through s2Member’s admin panel. However, if you’d like to use the Advanced PHP Conditionals s2Member provides, you can do this like so:

<?php
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
if($current_user->login === 'steve') // Steve doesn't get access to this.
	{
		//Display something
	}
?>
