Thank-you for your inquiry.

I just upgraded to s2member pro and I cannot update my profile. I get the following error:

http://iknowsomebodyhouston.com/membership/members/houstonw/profile/edit/group/1/

I’m unable to see where this link is supposed to go, as this link is only available when you are logged in. It gives a not-logged-in user a 404 Not Found status here.

I need to allow a profile to be edited in the Admin panel by the Administrator because we are implementing a verification process for members. Only once an administrator has verified the identity of the user will they be placed in the next level of membership.

You should be able to do this through your Users List. All of the user’s Custom Registration/Profile Fields are available here, and you can narrow down users by level to help you narrow down which users still need to be upgraded.

See Dashboard -› Users

Please let us know if problems persist . :-)

Thanks for the follow-up.

So with Pro Forms can I create a post (cpt) with it? Also can I use (save to) custom field meta with Pro Forms?
I guess I’m wondering will it do (mostly) what my Gravity Forms do?

s2Member’s Pro Forms are not meant to provide this functionality. Pro Forms are payment gateway specific, and are meant to receive payment the same way PayPal Buttons do in the s2Member Framework.

Any functionality with saving/creating posts will need to be done outside of s2Member. However, s2Member can provide restriction for the Posts/Pages that these forms are on.

Any 2013 s2member coupons kicking around? Is there anyway to find out who the “You were referred by Affiliate ID:XXXX” is? I might rather know who I was giving the kudos to.

I’m unaware of any coupons currently in effect.

We also do not have a public database of the affiliates by ID available, sorry.

Thanks for the follow-up.

I use the following plugin

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/

Should i change to another?

You may be able to change to another PHP Execution plugin that does support bbPress topics. I can’t think of any that do, but you may be able to find one.

I do not get the hint why I should change the template, how would that solve the Problem?

As I mentioned, PHP Execution plugins will normally execute PHP by hooking into WordPress through the the_content filter. If you were able to wrap the portion of the template that should be checked for PHP code, you can then wrap it in apply_filters('the_content', 'The content goes here'), and that section of the page would then have PHP Execution enabled.

See: WordPress -> Plugin API -> Filter Reference

Thanks for your inquiry.

The way that his works depends on what PHP Execution plugin you are running. I can tell you that most PHP Execution plugins run off of the WordPress Filter the_content.

Likely what’s happening is that bbPress’s topics are not filtered using the_content, and therefore your PHP Execution plugin is not actually given access to these posts. bbPress does support custom templates, however. You may be able to have this content filtered through this template.

See: bbPress » Codex Home » Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Custom bbPress Theme

Thank-you for your inquiry.

If you’d like to move s2Member Pro from one domain to another, you can change your Primary Domain from the My Profile page.

See: s2Member® » My Profile

Thank-you for your inquiry.

s2Member currently does not support restrictions of theme behavior through the WordPress Dashboard. You will need to disable access to certain parts of your site depending on how these features are set up.

– Free users with options: Add more than 3 images, publish their ad in the Featured Ads section for more visibility, even charge for modify their ads,

If you theme already enables this through a Post/Page, you can restrict this by using s2Member’s Post/Page Access Restrctions, or with s2Member’s Shortcode Conditionals.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Post Access Restrictions
See Also: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Simple/Shortcode Conditionals

Otherwise, if this is a process that is controlled outside of a Post/Page by your theme, you will need to disable it with s2Member’s Advanced PHP Condtionals.

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

Thank-you for reporting this important issue.

I just attempted to recreate this issue and was prompted to upgrade s2Member Pro after updating the Framework.

We will keep an eye out for reports of this in the future.

Please ensure that you visit the Plugins Menu after updating the s2Member Framework. If you are not prompted, try refreshing the page in your browser, and refreshing your browser’s cache.

Let us know if problems persist.

Thank-you for your inquiry.

Though s2Member does not support functionality to allow users to post, if you have this functionality set up, you can use s2Member to provide access to these forms.

In the case that you would like to allow users to post listings, I would recommend using Specific Post/Page Access Pro Forms. This way, you can have users pay for access to a Post or Page with your form to create a listing.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Specific Post/Page Access Restrictions
See Also: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Specific Post/Page (Buy Now) Buttons
In s2Member Pro: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Specific Post/Page (Buy Now) Forms

Things like how long the listing will be available will need to be set up outside of s2Member. However, s2Member does give have many ways for you to decide what a user’s post should have.

For instance, you might take find when the user paid for their listing, and use that to decide how long the listing should be available. Get the user’s previous payment times with:

get_user_field ("s2member_last_payment_time");

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

Thanks for your inquiry.

s2Member does not create any new SQL tables in your database, but instead uses the default WordPress tables wp_users and wp_usermeta to store user information.

If you’d like to export user data via Cron Job every 24 hours, you would need to get the information from the wp_users and wp_usermeta table. Some specific rows that s2Member puts into the usermeta table are:

wp_s2member_paid_registration_times
wp_s2member_subscr_gateway
wp_s2member_login_counter
wp_s2member_registration_ip
s2member_file_download_access_log

Please let us know if you have any more questions / concerns.

Thanks for your inquiry.

I searched around and found a topic that suggested that this be added to the functions.php of my theme.

The code that you posted looks correct, however I would suggest not putting this code into your theme’s functions.php file. This is because themes do update at times (though much less often than most plugins). If your theme did update, your code would be lost.

Instead, I would recommend putting this code into a Must-Use Plugin. These plugins are automatically loaded into your site, which is what you want, and will not be destroyed by updates.

To create a Must-Use Plugin, put the code posted into a .php file, by saving it with your favorite text editor. Note that .php files start with <?php&#91;/hilite&#93;. Therefore, the code that you would put into your new file would look like this:

[hilite pre_code]
<?php
function user_role_update( $user_id, $new_role ) {
$site_url = get_bloginfo('wpurl');
$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );
$to = $user_info->user_email;
$subject = "Role changed: ".$site_url."";
$message = "Hello " .$user_info->display_name . " your role has changed on ".$site_url.", congratulations you are now an " . $new_role;
wp_mail($to, $subject, $message);
}
add_action( 'set_user_role', 'user_role_update', 10, 2);


Once the file is created, you upload this file via FTP to your server, to your /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory. If you do not have this directory, please create it.

Please let us know if problems persist.

I have read everything. I still don’t know what to do next. I have the file in my theme>
What is the next step (s)??

After moving the template file from s2Member Pro’s template directory (/s2member-pro/includes/templates/), to your working theme’s directory (/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/, replacing “yourtheme” with your currently activated theme’s direcotry), s2Member will now use the file within your theme’s directory, rather than the file that it defaults to within s2Member’s templates file.

Because this file is now outside of s2Member’s directory, you should now be able to edit the template directly, with your favorite text editor. This new file will not be overridden when s2Member updates, which would happen when editing the file directly.

Now that you can edit this template, you can change things about the layout of the form, and labels directly.

For example, s2Member writes the label Username at line 69 of paypal-checkout-form.php:

<span><?php echo _x ("Username ( lowercase letters and/or numbers )", "s2member-front", "s2member"); ?> *</span><br />

To change “Username” to “Nicename”, you would change the above line to:

<span><?php echo _x ("Nicename ( lowercase letters and/or numbers )", "s2member-front", "s2member"); ?> *</span><br />

If you’d like to have multiple templates for your Pro Forms, you can copy and rename the template file and make multiple copies within your theme’s directory. Then, you can use the template=”” attribute in your Pro Form shortcodes to specify which template any particular Pro Form should use.

Info: Pre Sale FAQs » Is it possible to modify s2Member® Pro Form templates?

Thanks for your inquiry.

On the registration page, the user enters the number of adults, and I believe with paypal buttons I could edit the cost with javascript. Is anything like that possible using Authorize.net?

Though editing the values of the PayPal Buttons after they are generated is possible, with s2Member’s Pro Forms this is not the case.

s2Member encrypts these Pro Forms based on the encryption key you have set up under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Security Encryption Key. This is for security, so that customers cannot simply change the price by editing the source code of your page.

Therefore, the only way to change the price of your Pro Form is to generate the form with s2Member’s Shortcodes again.

It is possible to dynamically set the price of your Pro Form, though. The easiest way to do this is to use a PHP Execution plugin to decide what the price should be based on a variable that you can set up from within your page.

For example, you could send users to URL like the following:

http://yoursite.com/my-membership-options-page?members=4

If that is the case, you’d want to then multiply the amount of members by 10, and update your Pro Form to accomodate this:

[s2Member-PayPal-Butto... ra="<?php echo $_GET['members']*10; ?>" ... /]
