Glad I could help. :)

Thanks! Could you please send me the login info to that installation? I’d like to look into it a bit more. s2Member® » Private Contact Form

I used this shortcode, which I copied from your Holiday Special page, but changed the amount to 1 cent:

[[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="2" ccaps="" desc="EMT / 90 Day Full Access Pass!" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="medictests.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="0.01" rp="3" rt="M" rr="BN" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]]

I logged out of the admin account, loaded the test page with that button, clicked it, went throught the checkout, was shown the link to go register at your site, registered and then logged in successfully. Then I logged out and logged into the admin account, looked up the account “cristian” in the users list and confirmed that it has s2Member Level 2 as expected. No errors in the log entries for this transaction, either. And I got all the emails: signup confirmation and new user (although both in the spam folder).

I couldn’t reproduce the problem you mention. Could you provide a step by step to reproduce it please? Including your login status and to what account. Thanks!

A. Remember the login details on the installation?

Do you mean when using s2Member Pro? No, your s2member.com account login info is not stored by s2Member Pro in your site. You could use a passwords manager (e.g. LastPass, RoboForm) that fills out the user and login boxes in the s2Member Pro update login box.

B. Automatically update itself as other plugins do when we click Update Plugins?

s2Member does this as other plugins do, s2Member Pro has a custom login box at the top when there’s an update available. In most cases both work fine, but there may be some cases where updating via FTP may be necessary if you have any errors when trying the dashboard way.

C. Require less memory–I don’t know of a single shared hosting provider which allots 256 MB of memory.

There’s a WP setting for the memory limit, it probably means that. Could you try this to see if there’s any mention of the memory limit, please? http://www.s2member.com/r/server-check-tool/ Upload the PHP script to your WP directory and open it in your browser. Thanks!

Thanks Mary. Could you try with the default TwentyEleven theme, please?

Joseph, would you happen to have another web hosting account that you could test this in? I wonder if the server has anything to do with the encoding problem you’re having…

Hi Daniel.

What you’re asking is the way it should work. If the user is logged in to his account when he loads the page with the shortcode for the ClickBank button, then the button will have the user’s ID in order to upgrade his account. After checkout, ClickBank would notify s2Member and s2Member would upgrade the account with the access he just purchased.

If that isn’t happening, then there’s something wrong in the integration’s settings that’s preventing the normal behavior from happening.

Could you please enable logging and do a new test transaction to generate log entries? Then show the entries to me (x’ing out any private info), including the entries from the log files with PayPal in their names (s2Member uses for the ClickBank integration part of its original code for PayPal, and those logs are relevant for ClickBank transactions too. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› Account Details -› Logging[/hilite]

Also double check that you didn’t make any mistakes or missed anything in your integration: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options[/hilite]

Thanks!

Hi dvize. I’m forwarding this to Elizabeth in Accounts so she can take a look and help you solve it. :)

Hi Bill.

The PayPal created button is only needed if you’ll use the button outside of your blog, since the s2Member shortcode would not be available in that case.

And the PayPal created button will only work for new registrations, since upgrades require the button to include the user’s ID, and that only happens with the shortcode when the user is logged into his account. That’s why you had that problem during the test.

If you want a registered user to purchase more access for his existing account, you need to use the shortcode for PayPal buttons and show it only to a logged in user. Video » s2Member (PayPal® Options/Buttons)

To sell the extra access, you may want to use custom capabilities. Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities)

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Diego.

Yes, there’s a network license, you can learn about it here: http://www.s2member.com/prices/#s2-terms-blog-farming

Let us know if you have any questions. :)

I see. Well, if you want to show that to anyone with Level 1 access, then you’d add to that condition [hilite code]current_user_can('access_s2member_level1')[/hilite].

By the way, your check for the ccap was missing the quotes around the string.

I hope that helps. :)

You’d have to edit the s2Member Level roles to add whatever capabilities those other roles have. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/

And then you’d need to protect the roles so they don’t get reset after an update. Knowledge Base » Locking s2Member Roles/Capabilities

I hope that helps. :)
