Funny how we both added Frank as another name!

I am still not sure. I don’t know if s2m can monitor a “first login” in any way, however, it can be coded to show specific offers to specific users.

If you had a code like this:

[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level2)]
Show the OTO
[/s2If]

That would show the OTO to anyone who is not a level 2 member. Conversely, if you want something specific to Level 1 members who want to go to level 2, you could have

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1) AND !current_user_can(access_s2member_level2)]
OTO offer for Level 1 members only
[/s2If]

And if you want something for those who are NOT even level 1 to bypass level 1 to go to level 2, you can try this:

[s2If is_user_logged_in() AND !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1) AND !current_user_can(access_s2member_level2)]
OTO offer for Level 0 members only
[/s2If]

And you can also put all those 3 conditionals on the single page, so whoever shows up on the site, will have the offer that matches their specific level.

Would that work, or am I still understanding wrong?

I don’t think there is a lead generator integrated into s2Member, but I agree it would be a great feature to add.

For lead capture, I have integrated MailChimp and using a third party plugin, when the user registers through the MC form, it automatically creates an s2M account, so I can then use the conditional to let them watch or read whatever I have hidden.

The process is not al fluid as I would like because the user will not be brought back to the page they were reading. I am looking into this through but I have not found a solution yet. But I have a free ebook to download and this link is included in the welcome email from MC.

In case you want to look into it, the third party plugin is called s2M+MC and you can find more information here.

Hope it helps.

You might want to send a direct request using the support form for technical questions like this. It seems that this forum has moved from tech support to community support. Since this is quite technical, I suspect you might get a faster answer through the ticket system.

OK Bruce. As far as coding is concerned, I am not a coder which is why I use a web editor to create my “formatting” and then copy and paste it! Would you have access to a simple web editor that works a little like a text editor where you can format the way you want, and then, copy the code?

From the images you posted, I would suggest you create individual pages:
– the INDEX page (or the table of content) can be one page and it can be visible only for logged in members for example using conditionals
– then, each video/lesson can be on a separate page, linked to the index page and again, protected with conditionals so only those registered to them can access them.

I would suggest you check out my site and subscribe, at least to see how I have set my videos (that you can see in the Master Classes section). It is pretty easy once you have a “format”, you can just reuse it over and over again.

How did you set that? Can you give me some tips?

S2Member integrates with Aweber and MailChimp (I am using MailChimp myself). I simply created an autoresponder that will send a set email, a couple of weeks before the end of the initial period (for me, it is a 3 months period). I just explain that the 3 month period they paid for is about to finish and a recurring payment will soon appear on their Paypal account, so if they want to cancel, they have a couple of weeks to do so. Although MailChimp can be free, if you want to use the auto-responder, you have to pay, so depending on how many members you have, the fee will vary.

My other question is that I have the Pro and I want a member to be able to upgrade from Level 0 (free) to Level 1 (free also).

Here, I am not entirely sure because I have not used it. I seem to remember seeing somewhere about having a free level 1. You might want to search that. In any case, if you want to offer that option only to level 0 members, you can use a conditional and create a button (or pro-form) that will only display if someone is already a level 0 member. This means that a newcomer would not be able to go straight to level 1, and a level 1 would not have any option available (since they don`t need it anyways).
I hope it helps some.

Hi I want to buy the S2member Pro but I do not see anywhere how the member will upgrade himself (from the frontend) to an upper level. I meant a subscriber should be able to upgrade to level1 and a paid member too should be allowed to upgrade from level1 to level2.

My guess is that you would have to have a page with a button of some kind that the member can click to “purchase” a higher level registration. You can create a MyAccount page that would simply use conditionals and make it look like it is a backend.

The second question is: how the recurrent payment works? I meant if a set paid level1 membership for 39.99 for 1 month, the member should receive a notice 3 days before the expiration and if he does not cancel it, his account should be debited and his membership renew automatically. Is it how S2member works?

So far, s2Member does not have the option to send emails or notice. If you want to, you can use a mailing service provider that has an autoresponder and it can send a notice like 27 days after registration (or something like that) to inform the member that he will see a recurring payment being processed and he has 3 days to cancel if he chooses. I am using that method.

Last question: How to display the levels (with my labels) on the registration form to allow members to choose their levels? The member will be redirected to PayPal if he chooses a paid level.

I think there is a new feature in the Pro-form that allows you to create a drop down list of different level/payment options. I have not used this feature as I don’t need it, but it was added very recently for that purpose.

Hope this helps.

Did you try uploading directly from your WP?
I have mine installed since a couple of years, so I don’t really remember exactly how it was done, but I don’t remember having to go through Filezilla or something like that.

And if it is a ghost registration (like a bot or something odd like that), they won’t complain!

I am using s2Member pro et Headway Theme since over 2 years, without any problem. I have to admit that for now, my active site still runs HT 2.0.13 since I cannot upgrade to 3.x
I don’t expect any problem with the version 3.x either.

Depending on how those members can be identified, you might want to use ccaps and conditionals.

For example, you can have a ccap for the insiders and AS LONG AS THEY ARE LOGGED IN, the system can recognize them, so you can have your content this way:

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_insider)]
Display the content with the Insider price.
[/s2If]
[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_insider)]
Display the content with the regular or launch week price.
[/s2If]

Would that work for you?

I find that if the user is not logged in, the system does not know how to associate the new purchase to the existing account. That is why it will ask to create an account. However, if the user is logged in, then the button or pro-form will do all the work on the associated account.

This is why I ended up having to protect the button/pro-form within conditional so that only the logged in members (with an existing account already) can see it and use it. This prevents the situation where the user would click a button without being logged in and the system not able to put 2 and 2 together.

So the button/content could look like this:

[s2If is_user_logged_in()]
[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="Student / Description and pricing details here." ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="yoursite.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="0.01" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]
[/s2If]
[s2If !is_user_logged_in()]
Please log in to complete your purchase.
[/s2If]
