Hi Daisy,

It appears that this is indeed a problem, both with s2Member’s CSS file and a few others (your page is trying to load code.google.com/css)

My best guess would be a caching plugin that cached the s2member-o.php file, as empty, as your page shows me that it is in fact loading s2member-o.php, but that it is not displaying any data.

Hi Andy,

What do you have set up as your Global Default Tax Rate?

Is it still 0.0%?

Hi Andrew,

I don’t have an official list for what’s going to be in the next major release of s2Member, but there’s a good chance the functionality to complete what you need will be available. We’re hoping to have this released early to mid 2013.

Try this:

<?php
add_filter('ws_plugin__s2member_files_dir', 'my_files_directory');
function my_files_directory() {
return ABSPATH.'../myfolder/'.((stripos(PHP_OS, "win") === 0 && stripos($_SERVER&#91;"SERVER_SOFTWARE"&#93;, "apache") === false) ? "/app_data" : "");
}
?>

Hi James,

It looks like you don’t have an email address for one of your accounts. This is a required field. Try adding this to your .csv file, or if you can’t do that, edit the user from the WordPress Dashboard and then export again, if possible.

Hi Seth,

This is normally caused when you’re using recurring payments and you don’t have recurring payments enabled on PayPal.

It does use the WordPress display name. And that’s why I’m asking. When people signup to our site (via s2member now) will they still be able to create a username (that links with WordPress) that we can use in the forum?

I know for a fact the Forum plugin uses the WordPress usernames, which is why I wanted to ask you guys. Does that make sense or did I confuse you? lol

s2Member works with the default WordPress Roles and Capabilities functionality. So any plugin that’s getting member’s data within the scope of these Roles and Capabilities will function correctly. The WordPress display name and username is still populated the same way by s2Member.

Hi JD,

You will need to separate these two Pro Forms into different pages, as we have done on s2Member.com.

Hi Bear,

1. Will member know the real download location?
2. Does it support resume download?
3. If I use download key, does it support resume download?

No, the user will not know, or be able to access, the real download location.

s2Member does not support the ability to resume downloads, as the downloads are protected and that could lead to issues with security.

By the way, does S2 support ccbill check and phone? I just found this forum and a member said it didn’t.

No, s2Member does not support this. It’s something we’re hoping to get integrated in the next major release of s2Member. In the mean time you can handle these manually if you’d like, using the Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Registration Access Links.

is it possible to redirect each type of subscriber to a different landing page??

Yes. Just use a dynamically created Login Welcome Page in the text field under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Login Welcome Page

and can i use the Danish currency to receive payment?

i mean the subscriber can thy pay with danish currency?

PayPal should automatically convert payments to whatever your button/pro form is set up to take. You can also change the supported currency by selecting it when you create your button or form (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Membership Level # Forms)

Hi Michele,

You should be able to do all that you’re looking to do with s2Member.

import existing paid members

s2Member uses the WordPress Roles and Capability functionality, as WordPress does itself. Assuming that you’re using this system on your site currently, you should be able to move your users over easily.

allow us to modify the expiration dates based on some manual payment

EOT (End of Term) date can be set up within your Users List with s2Member.

send notification to members when their membership is close to expiration to encourage them to renew

While not natively supported, there’s info on this here: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/setting-up-eot-notifications/

have different levels of membership by post category, where some members get access to only some content, while other members get access to all content, and manage that by category
set category protection as required above, for almost 3 years worth of existing posts

You can set this up under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Category Access Restrictions, extremely easily. I’d recommend using Custom Capabilities (Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities))

offer membership by quarter or by year

Simply make 2 buttons/Pro Forms for this. But make sure they’re not on the same page (this will cause errors).

send autoresponders to different membership levels, based on what category the new content is posted into

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› MailChimp®
Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› AWeber®

Hi Ganaxi,

You’d need to edit this within the template for the authorize.net cancelation form under /s2member-pro/includes/templates/forms/authnet-cancellation-form.php

Hi Marc,

When you look at a user in your Users List, does it appear to be correctly set up?

Hi Billy,

Is there anything to fix this. This is a huge problem when I have customers on the phone and have to wait a minute just to pull up their account.

This could be caused by having too many columns up on the page. Try disabling some of the columns you don’t need at the top right of the Users List under Screen Options

I’m trying to do some simple first tests and have everything set up with PP sandbox and S2.
I’m able to make a purchase but of course, not respond to whatever email s2 member sends out immediately after the purchase. So, is there really anything I can actually test here besides the purchase? S2 is not creating members in WP and that must be because it’s waiting on an email confirmation – isn’t there some way to see the complete user experience within sandbox mode? Do i have create emailboxes that match the sandbox accounts? Would that even work???

Are you testing with Pro Forms, or with standard buttons?

Since the banned attribute is only visible by looking at user entries one by one, has anyone developed a script that will traverse all users and identify those currently banned?

No, I haven’t seen anything like this. But you might want to take a look in the Unofficial Extensions/Hacks Forum

Hmmm… wondering if we could make this another column in the recent script Bruce built for showing EOT expiration dates in the Users listing?

It could be possible. I’ll regard this as a request for a KB article / feature in a future version of s2Member.

Hi Ganaxi,

You should really only need to use PayPal, or a mixture of PayPal and one other payment gateway, as Authorize.Net and Google Checkout, etc. only take credit card payments.

Offering using a PayPal account, and having something like Google Checkout or Authorize.Net can be good practice.

(

2) if possible, how do I disable all non-PayPal payments via the PayPal gateway.

You can check out info on this here: Pre Sale FAQs » What if I don’t want to accept Maestro/Solo?

You will just want to take out *all* of the credit cards.

Hi Rangel,

You should be able to use s2Member’s Content Dripping for this.

Knowledge Base » A Basic Guide to Protecting Content With s2Member®
Knowledge Base » Introduction to Content Dripping in s2Member®
Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Content Dripping

What’s the difference between the two log files:

paypal-payflow-api-ARCHIVED…

and

paypal-ipn-ARCHIVED…?

paypal-ipn.log is for IPN Responses that are created when a user registers, while the paypal-payflow-api.log is for info that is sent back from the Payflow API to check the info that is provided by the Pro Form.

—

I noticed that in another post you said:

We don’t use the link to files method. Our users go to iTunes, subscribe and iTunes asks for their authentication.

If I understand this correctly, then iTunes is taking a key of some sort to authenticate users. If that’s the case, then s2Member does not really have any control over what iTunes is doing here. Unless you set up this integration with Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Notifications -› Payment Notifications, there’s no way for iTunes to know when a user has canceled their membership..

A. We NEVER again hear from a member that they’ve cancelled and got billed again more than 31 days following their cancellation,

This is probably an issue with IPN, or a server compatibility issue. Have you already run the Server Check Tool?
