Thanks. I am not advanced enough to plug code in manually. Is there a wordpress plugin for this?

This plugin may work for you:

Thank you for all of your suggestions. They have been noted on our suggestions list. :-)

Thank-you for your inquiry.

s2Member provides a Pro Form for upgrading. Find it under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Billing Modification Forms.

You can use this form to allow users to upgrade/downgrade their membership without creating a new account.

Thank-you for your inquiry.

Have been doing some more digging. From what I can make out, Akismet does not check for spam user registrations.

There is however a plugin Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin which does appear to check against the Akismet DB (as well as others) for registrations as well as other stuff.

No, I don’t believe that Akismet checks user registrations. I’m not familiar with the Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin, either. However, it does look like it would work correctly with s2Member, assuming that you are using PayPal Buttons.

If, however, you are using s2Member’s Pro Forms, you may run into issues unless the plugin is directly integrated to s2Member, because s2Member’s registration within Pro Forms is not done through the /wp-login.php?action=register page.

Can you explain me in details about what you are talking?

s2Member currently does not support restricting access for a number of times that a user has logged in. Instead, you will need to either use s2Member’s time-based membership shortcode attributes to restrict access to membership, or use custom code to achieve what you need.

If you’d like to use s2Member’s Pro Forms to do this, you can set up Free/Paid Registration Pro Forms for membership for a certain amount of time that users can sign up with. You can then either delete the user when this time has ended, or demote them back down to s2Member Level 0.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Membership Level # Forms
See Also: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Automatic EOT Behavior

Alternatively, if you’d only like the user to sign in once, you might user s2Member’s One-Time Offers to send the user to a page with code that will demote/delete them on their second login.

Find info on One Time Offers: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› One-Time Offers (Upon Login)

Does that make sense?

Thank-you for inquiry.

My website is hosted by YAHOO Webhosting. They do not allow ssl certificates to be attached to websites they host. Instead they have us create a subdirectory labeled “ssl” to put all of our secure pages into. This folder automatically redirects pages over to https

Is there anyway I can make this work with wordpress and s2Members?

I checked Yahoo’s documentation regarding using SSL certificates. It appears that Yahoo should be giving you a specific address that you should be able to send users to when you need to use SSL. Therefore, it looks like you will need to have some custom code on your page to redirect to the SSL-enabled page if they try to access the page through your normal domain name.

See: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/webhosting/ssl/ssl-03.html

Based on what you posted, Yahoo now has a way to use a directory to automatically use some special rules to redirect users if they are accessing a file within the /ssl/ directory of your website. This is only kind of a shortcut to help you automatically redirect some pages. With WordPress, you will need to redirect users to a your SSL-enabled site manually.

Thank-you for your inquiry.

This post details how to change this text.

Please let us know if problems persist.

Thank-you for your request. I’m putting this in our request todo list.

Thank-you for your inquiry.

For this, I would recommend using Specific Post/Page Access Buttons for providing access to your ticket submission form. You will need to use custom code to link these tickets to your user’s account. You may want to use the update_user_option() function for linking this info.

See: WordPress -> update_user_option()

After this is set up, you can use the info that you’ve created with the user_option functions to display these tickets on your Login Welcome Page. s2Member’s standard Membership Levels functionality should not be changed by this, so you can still restrict access to your site’s content with Membership Level # Buttons.

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

Thank-you for reporting this important issue.

I’ve just tested this in a default installation of WordPress and it appears to be working correctly.

At this point I am lead to believe that this something installation-specific to you. Please try disabling all plugins except for s2Member, and reverting to a default WordPress theme. If problems persist, please create a test site, and tell us precisely how you cause this error in a clean installation of WordPress so that we can recreate this issue.

Thank-you for your inquiry.

To be clear, to add the log in/register links to the header, I need to add some code to my child theme functions file. I’ve come up with this but getting errors:

01. if (!function_exists (“s2member_pro_login_widget”))
02. {
03. function s2member_pro_login_widget ($options = FALSE, $args = FALSE)
04. $options => array
05. array(“signup_url” => __(%%automatic%%),
06. “login_redirect” => __(“”),
07. “logout_redirect” => “%%home%%”,
08. {
09. $args = (is_array ($args)) ? $args : array (“before_widget” => “”, “before_title” => “
“, “after_title” => “

“, “after_widget” => “”);
10. /**/
11. return eval (‘ob_start(); c_ws_plugin__s2member_pro_login_widget::widget($args, $options); $ob = ob_get_clean(); return $ob;’);
12. }
13. }
14. ?>

All of this code should not be needed. Instead, you should just call the function directly, like this:

<?php echo s2member_pro_login_widget(); ?>

The info provided in Jason’s link shows what arguments you can pass to this function. For instance, if you’d like to change the title when not logged in, you would do the following:

<?php
$args = array('title' => 'My New Title');

echo s2member_pro_login_widget($args);
?>

That is about as far as we can go with custom code. Please see s2Member® » Support Policy » Within Scope. If you need any further assistance with setting this up, we recommend posting a job listing on http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or http://elance.com/.

Thank-you for reporting this important issue.

Could you please post the Shortcode that your members are using to renew?
