Hi Cristian – that’s because I did figure out how to fix my problem yesterday. Somehow when I did the upgrade, the wp_user_roles option in the wp_options table got messed up. Apparently the Subscriber user is supposed to have a capability of “access_s2Member_level0″, and it didn’t any longer. I had to modify that wp_user_roles record manually to put all of the s2Member capabilities and roles back in, and now everything is working correctly again. I’m not sure why/if the upgrade didn’t go smoothly for me (I also upgraded WP to V3.5.1, so maybe that’s what messed it up), but just in case someone else has a similar thing happen, here is my current wp_user_roles record in the wp_options table of the database:

I wish it did work that way, but it didn’t – the pages that are marked to be viewable by level 0 users are now not viewable by Subscribers. I also had some code hooks in there to show certain things in the sidebar for Level 0 users, and those things don’t show anymore. Is there a way to get that Level 0 member back?
