For the restriction, what method are you using? Are you using page/post restriction or conditional? It is not WP but s2M that will restrict content based on what you tell it. The plugin will point to the page if you created it and indicated it the “Membership Option Page” in your s2M, but that will only be if you have the correct restriction put in place, at first. |

Ok I think I get it. I can replace the links by those after including the code in the php file. Here is an example: Otherwise, this hack seems to be exactly what I needed. Also, you said “Default is up to 4”. Isn’t that unlimited for Pro version? |

From what I have gathered, it is still not possible. |

1- s2Member can be used without any previous coding experience. Most of the settings are done in the backend of the site. Then, if you want to use some more advanced features, you might use some “coding” but it is not really html coding (I am personally “allergic” to html!), but the explanations are quite clear and you can always ask here if you are stuck. 2- the pro version has these additional features (from what I remember): You can do most things with the free version of s2M. Give it a try! |

This might be exactly what I needed, except that despite reading the thread and the explanations over and over again, I cannot figure out where to indicate the level. One part (in the Additional Details) mentions $item_number = 1,2,3, or 4 but in the code it is not there, but there is this: $_GET[“register_level”] In the examples given, I don’t see any item_number or register_level with a number. Where do I put the number? And just to double-check, with s2M pro, I can have more than 4 levels, right? |

Hum… it is good to know that there is a way to associate a free registration with another level (something new to me), but I am not sure this would work for me: it does not address the common situation when a visitor decides to register using the login widget (where there is the “Register” option). Unless this form can be used when the visitor clicks Register in the Login widget?Those are the registrations that i need to put somewhere else than the Level 0. We might be getting close ! |

If you rally more aWeber users, it might help too! |

When you say “and have Users be able to move up”, i am not sure what you are referring. I would need the member to be assigned directly to a different level so only one list would be used instead of going from Level 0 (where i currently have to put all the free registrations, even if for various MC lists) and then going to a different level. Modifying their level wont solve the problem if i have multiple lists ID for Level 0, as it will send the name to ALL the lists from the start and then MC will send as many email notifications, even if the member is moved to another level after. So basically, the requirement would be to have the member PUT, from the start, on a specific list, NOT move it or move it to a different list before it is sent to MC lists. Is that what that API would do? My other alternative would be to redirect the wp-login.php?action=register to a specific MC form, that could simulate the WP registration form. |

I am not using aWeber, but MailChimp, and from what I know, s2M works only in one direction. I had to get a programmer to create a plugin to do the work bidirectionally. It is done and available, and it synchronizes both s2M and MailChimp lists, but although I don’t think he has done similar work for aWeber,i am sure that if he gets enough customers wanting this, he can work on it. Just for information, you can read what the plugin does for MC and see if it is what you would like to do with aWeber: |

Looking at my “problem” another time, i realize that since i have the pro version, i could use the levels to differenciate the lists. Having all my content protected by ccaps instead of levels, everything would still be protected. However, how can i have a free member on another level than 0? If i want to use an optin and be able to then put the new member on another level than 0, how can i do that? The reason i would need to consider this is that if a member uses a login widget or other part of wp to register (and not a button or form), s2m will send him to all the lists associated with level 0, and then MC will send multiple email confirmations. Not what i need. Currently, i can have this sequence (using s2m and s2m+Mc plugin) Situation 1 Situation 2 Situation 3 One way i can think of not having s2M send to all the lists, would be to disable registration from WP directly and only use a MC form and the s2m+MC plugin to create the account in s2M, instead of starting at s2M. But, how can that be done? Is it possible to disable that wp-login.php?action=register from the widget or anywhere else it is. But maybe it is not a good idea. Unless there is a way to redirect automatically to a MC form, in which case, it would be a way around. OR if there is a way to link the free optin to Level 2 (instead of Level 0), then i could leave only one list associated with the Level 0 and everything else could be associated with other levels (2, 3, 4, etc.). This would be my favorite solution if it could work. |

I know one programmer who is working with me and he has done a lot of work with s2Member. Check out his blog: http://krumch.com/ He coded plugins and hacks for s2M : |

If you know exactly what you need to edit, I think it is fine. You end up with the same result than if you generated it through s2M. And sometimes, some variables need to be edited manually so it might be simpler to copy and paste and edit. At least in my opinion (and I have done that often!) |

The MC+s2M does synchronize both ways. The focus of the description is mostly because it gives an additional flexibility of being able to use MC as an entry point for new members, and if that is the case, the MC form can be use anywhere. It also has the ability to synchronize any change a user might make, either in CM or in s2M (so the name, the email can be changed, the account can be deleted) and that change will be reflected on the other one. Just notice that the full name of the plugin is “Bidirectional transparent integration/synchronization/bridge of s2Member with MailChimp” I would suggest you contact the programmer to make sure if you are still having question. |

There is a third party plugin that does bidirectional synchronisation of MC and s2M where any change in one place will be taken into consideration in the other. You can read more about it here: http://krumch.com/2012/08/24/kc-bidirectional-integration-of-s2member-with-mailchimp/?ap_id=Cassel It is installed on my site and works flawlessly and silently. |

You are welcome. CCAPS and conditionals are EXTREMELY powerful and useful. I think almost every single page on my site has those! It gives me so much control into how I want the content to be displayed. |

One new feature has been added to this great plugin for a Pro version: you can now delete duplicates or move members from one list to the other without triggering a deletion of the account in s2M. This allows more flexibility than before (and save you money since MC will charge duplicates as 2 subscribers!). |

There is a plugin that does the synchronization between s2M and MC, so any update on the MC list will be reflected on the s2M Check it out here: I have that on my site and it works flawlessly. |

You can use the conditionals instead of using the box on the right of the page (when you create your page in WP). Something like this: and you can also add this: Of course, you will likely have to remove any of the restrictions you might have put already on the top right box for s2Member on the page edit page. Hope it helps. |

Ah!!! Thanks for the explanation. That is likely what happened. I must have used the Level1 from form thinking that everyone is on level 1 anyways, without realizing the implication of using THAT particular form. It might be useful to add a warning in those sections. Although it is well spelled out in the Buy Now section, one might not check that section for info. |

The site can look any way you want. You will give access to pages and those pages are going to look different from one site to the next, which would explain why there is no screenshot. S2Member does not determine the look of your site, but only adds some functionalities. The protected pages can be with an article, videos, lessons, quizz, forum, downloadable files, etc. The membership means that the members can access some pages only, depending on what you allow to access with free registration, with one-time payment, or recurring payment. Ultimately, you decide what the site will look like. You can check out my site as an example: http://scrapbookcampus.com |

Yes, that is what happened, apparently. However, several other members have a subscription and did make individual purchases and nothing like that ever happened. Also, this member did not make the single purchase on the day of her renewal as her renewal date is around the 16th of the month and this incident happened on the 9th of the month (I thought that maybe Paypal could have gotten confused if both transactions really would have happened within seconds of each other, but that is not the case). |

When i checked, i found absolutely no entry on the date of that cancellation, on any log (i checked them all). As for a cancellation button, i can’t remember having one. I have one button for membership upgrade but that button is on a page where i send only members after a certain time, through an individual email (nothing automatic, or auto-responder) and it would be to increase the membership fee and does not have the option to cancel (as far as i know anyways). This is really puzzling me. The last email i got from Paypal says this: I am really in the fog now. |

BTW, this is what I got from Paypal: I have reviewed the account and it appears that the customer made a payment to you a few seconds before the subscription was cancelled. The subscription was cancelled due to an API from your application that instructed us to cancel the subscription. There is no way to know why we were told to cancel the subscription, you would have to look back in your logs on your webserver to see why that action was taken by the application. |

I am really not sure what I am looking for. I checked all 3 logs and nothing with the member’s name comes up in April, which is when the month the cancellation happened. Paypal cannot seem to find anything either. Any idea what I should see or not see? |

I am not 100% sure it will address your first request, but there is a hack available that will use a ccap based on the time of purchase, and not registration, and can be used for dripping content. There is a thread about it here: I am using that hack on my site and content is dripped on a weekly basis, so if member A has been a member since 20 weeks, he will see the content for weeks 1 to 20, but if member B has been a member since only 3 week, they will only see the content for weeks 1-3. And if the link is shared, it wont matter since it checks for the specific ccap of the user. And if you need some tweaking of the hack, the programmer can do that for you too. |
