You can even go with $0.01 if he is really poor! ;)

Hi Mark,

The coupon is a feature of the paid version of s2Member.

For your friend, you can get him to register at a level 0 (free) and then, manually change the level in the user profile. Since it is only one person, it is easy. You can also change that at will if you want to test various settings.

Hope it helps.

I am probably not going to be very helpful, but i have had many users register with capital letters, though s2M, however i know my brother tried to register and had a hyphen and it would not take it, but i think it was a WP thing, NOT a s2M thing. Interestingly, i am using a plugin that will create a username based on an email, and although you cannot register with non alpha-numerical characters, directly in the registration form, it will accept them if they come “from the back door” since i have now, members with a @ in their username (since it is an email).

Like i said, it is probably not helpful other than pointing a finger to something ELSE. Are you using a different font maybe and it would not recognise the C as a valid alpha-numerical character? Also, have you tried with other names and see if maybe (i really say “maybe”) it would only apply to some characters? Just wild guesses at this point.

Good luck

For sample, come and have a look at my site.
http://scrapbookcampus.com

It is not all free members areas though but some are. The membership option page looks whatever you want it to look. It is a page where someone would be redirected if they try to access a page that is restricted and they should not see. Here is an example of mine:
http://scrapbookcampus.com/membership-options/
I need to revise it BTW but you can see, it is kind of a sale page for me. But for you, it could be a page with the different buttons to register on different levels, or it could even be a page that just say “Stop you are not allowed to view X page. Please contact us” You decide what you want to do when someone tries to reach a page they are not allowed to view.

If you want to import members, if the members are imported (with username and email), you can simply let them know that their old username is active and to click “Forget my password” so they can actually choose a password that THEY will remember. I find it is better than giving them a long complicated password they will grumble while using (and forgetting).

Setting things up might take a while, depending on the number of members, but once it is set, it should go smoothly.

Good luck.

It has happened to me once or twice. I just email back with the USERNAME, and suggest they click as if they forgot their password. I suggest that to everyone also, so they can get a password they can at least remember! The member might also remember their own username as they entered it themselves.

If you have lots of members, just sort the members with the newest first. It will make it easy to find that user. If needed, you can also assign them a temporary password too.

Yes you can. You can do it with shortcodes:
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_video) AND current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_music)]

or in php:

<?php if (current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_videos")) && (current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_music")) { ?>
    Display videos and music as well.
<?php } ?>

Deleted: i thought the s2M+MC did this but s2M is overzealous.

Sure you can (it is recommanded too!). Go to General Options > Login/Registration Design and there you can customize the look of the Login/registration page with the color, font, and header of your choice.
