lol, right, it’s better to look than listen when you’re investigating something.

I’m glad that did it! Thanks for the update. :)

You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help. :)

Yes, it happens that during the process something goes off and sometimes it’s harder to find what, than to reset the thing and start again. It’s simpler if you had not gone live yet, of course. But sometimes you can just do a few tests and just find the problem without having to do everything again.

You can try deactivating all the plugins in your existing installation and see if that fixes the problem. If so, that’d indicate a plugin conflict. Then you can try adding them one by one and test after each, that way you’ll know which is conflicting if the problem comes back.

The one question I have is how to add a check box for asking the user whether they’d like to subscribe to the newsletter as well?

[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› Registration Double Opt-In Box[/hilite]
Video » s2Member (API List Servers)

Can you please let me know what do I need to do in order to get the password box to be identical to the Username box?

You can style it with CSS. Use Firebug to find what’s making those two boxes look different, and to customize the styles so they match. http://getfirebug.com

Is there a shortcode or PHP function that I could use to generate the form within the current “lost password” page?

No, there isn’t a replacement for that. The lost password tool remains in the default place.

If the user times out, how do I customize the page they are redirected to? I need them to be notified of a time-out and then redirected to my own login page rather than to wp-login.

You could create a rewrite rule in your .htaccess file, I guess.

If the user enters “bad” credentials in the login form, he/she is redirected to wp-login.php, which again defeats my purpose of staying within my theme.

Since the login form is still processed by WordPress, not s2Member, when it fails, it behaves as it would by default. A rewrite rule in htaccess may help with this too.

I used PHP conditionals to insert a “logout” link in the theme header once a user is logged in. However, I don’t know how to call the logout action with the proper redirect (i.e. to the home page).

Maybe this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_logout_url


I hope that helps! :)

In one of the log entries, it looks as if you had been logged in to the admin account when you did the test, but I don’t see it mentioned later.

When you say you couldn’t access the content although being Level 1, you must have been redirected to the Membership Options page with some vars in the URL. Could you paste here that URL? I’d like to see the vars to know what restriction is being applied.

Also, if possible, send me the site’s info so I do a test transaction myself. s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Thanks!

No, I don’t know…

So you’ve tested the s2member-files folder for this and it didn’t resume big downloads properly? I’m not sure if it’ll help, but this article has some things you can try: Knowledge Base » Resolving Problems with File Downloads

You can change the files folder, but the delivery method would be the same: http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2719#p8017

Big files will work best with the Amazon integration. To secure files in the web server, they have to be delivered via the script, and this has memory and runtime limitations.

Hi Shawn.

It would probably be similar to changing the domain name, I guess. You’d need to make sure you update everything in the database and settings so the new address is used.

Also, your payment gateway will have the current IPN urls for the subscribers, so that may be a problem to get notifications from it if your installation is not there anymore. You could try a forward, but I’m not sure if that’d work…

If I remember correctly, you’re using ccBill, right? I’ll ask Jason about it and let you know.

Hi Andrea.

No, no emails are sent in those cases.

For upgrades, if you integrated with a email service like MailChimp or AWeber, there’s a setting to transition the user to another email list when his level is changed, so you could set up an email to be sent immediately after being added to the new list. Video » s2Member (API List Servers)

About automatic renewals (a subscription recurring payment), you could use the Payment Notification together with a custom script to email the person. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Notifications -› Payment Notifications[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Hi William.

So you didn’t change anything and suddenly you started having this problem? Did you update other plugins? Could you test if there’s a plugin conflict taking place? This article explains how to test for that: http://www.s2member.com/kb/common-troubleshooting-tips/#plugins

Do you have the URL of the page you got that hack from? It looks like an old version of one I shared some months ago.

Posted: Friday Nov 23rd, 2012 at 6:44 am #32399

Got ya. Then you should investigate the JavaScript to spot any problems when it runs, and see if you can fix it. There are tools you could use, like Firefox’ console (ctrl+shift+K in Windows).

Hi Emmanuel.

If it’s about bbPress 2.2, it appears the made a big change regarding their use of WP roles and capabilities. Please read this thread: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/dont-upgrade-to-bbpress-2-2/

And I just wanted to add that I’m glad I chose s2member to build my website. This plugin and it’s team rocks!

Thank you very much for the kudos! It’s very appreciated! We’ll keep working hard to give good support and improve s2Member. :)

You can’t avoid that thank-you page from being opened by someone else that gets the link, but the registration link is not special, just a normal link to the registration page. If you have Open Registration disabled, then only those that went throught the checkout and got back to the s2Member return URL, will get cookied to be allowed registration, or get a special link in the signup confirmation email. ;)

Okay! Let us know how it goes. :)

Posted: Friday Nov 23rd, 2012 at 6:36 am #32395

Hi Emily.

Yes, you can do_shortcode like that, as long as the function is defined. Are you within WordPress?

Posted: Friday Nov 23rd, 2012 at 6:34 am #32394

So you don’t have any link without the www?

Would you please send me your site’s info via contact form? s2Member® » Private Contact Form

And could you reply here with a step-by-step to reproduce the problem you’re having? I’ll try to reproduce it to see exactly what’s happening and try to find the cause.

Thanks!

Posted: Friday Nov 23rd, 2012 at 6:32 am #32392

Probably the best thing to try would be using Amazon S3. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Download Options -› Amazon® S3/CDN Storage[/hilite]

Video » s2Member® File Downloads (Amazon S3/CloudFront/JW Player)

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Alejandro.

You mention “custom capabilities associated to different types of subscriptions”, but s2Member currently only supports one single subscription per user at a time. Do these ccaps exclude the others or do you expect to sell multiple concurrent subscriptions to the same user?

Subscriptions do charge the recurring payments automatically. If you sell with buy-now transactions, then the user needs to manually make the new payments.

Could you please show us the shortcodes you’re using to understand exactly what you’re selling? Thanks!

Hi Ivano.

s2Member’s coupons don’t do 100% discounts yet, the user would still be charged at least 1 cent. If you want to do this kind of thing, you could code your own coupon verification code, so that the user enters a coupon into a form you created, and you’d have to have a list of coupons given in your system, and if the coupon is valid, show him a free registration form that gives him paid access, and once registration was successful, remove that coupon from your list because it was already used. s2Member Pro has the free registration pro-form to register users at higher levels than 0 for free.

I hope that helps.

Great! :)

Hi Moty.

s2Member doesn’t log people out, sessions are handled by WordPress.

Please read this and tell me if it helps: Knowledge Base » Logged in but am considered logged out

Thanks!

Posted: Thursday Nov 22nd, 2012 at 7:51 am #32346

I suppose cause it took so long for me to reply

Yeah, the forum closes old topics automatically.

It seems to be when they are using Internet Explorer 9. Any one else having this problem???

Could you please test the theme and other plugins to see if one of them is causing this? Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

Thanks!

Posted: Thursday Nov 22nd, 2012 at 7:48 am #32345

Hi Moty.

For registration, you can use the free registration pro-form’s shortcode: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms[/hilite]

For the login widget, to use it in the page instead of a widget, you can do it with PHP: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Pro Login Widget (via PHP)[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Israel.

My question is if the pitch page could be the membership options page from s2member or it has to be a different one.

Yes, the Membership Options Page is fine if it’s the one with the ClickBank button to buy.

Regarding the thank you page can it be the login page? (www.site.com/wp-login.php)

Not unless you customize it to include the lines that ClickBank requires in the thank-you page (about how the charge will show up, and how to get support, if I remember correctly).

You can create a WP page for the thank-you, with those lines that ClickBank requires, and a link to the registration page (wp-login.php?action=register)

Here’s the documentation on how to point to your custom thank you page: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› Thank-You Page Integration -> Template customizations[/hilite]

I´m planning to secure the whole site using level 1

That’s fine.


I hope that helps!

Let us know if you have more questions, please. :)

Hi Vegas.

It’d probably just take editing the condition a little, but I can’t see well what you already have. Could you post it again, but inside HTML code tags?

Thanks!

Posted: Thursday Nov 22nd, 2012 at 7:38 am #32342

Hi Dan.

Thanks a lot for all the info!

The IPN log has these two lines:

5 => 'Signup Confirmation Email sent to: "REDACTED" <REDACTED>.',
6 => 'User exists. Handling `payment` for Subscription via ( `subscr-signup-as-subscr-payment` ).',

If the log says the email was sent, then the problem would be after s2Member sent it. Did you check the spam folder? Could you try the tips in this article? Knowledge Base » Troubleshooting Email Delivery Problems

Also, were you logged in to an account or logged out when you loaded the page with the pro-form for your test?

– Paypal Pro **not the “Paypal Pro Payflow Edition” as that is no longer offered by Paypal.
– Payflow **Payflow credentials are now entered into s2member by using the Paypal “Manager” acct details
– (separate APIs using separate API credentials)

I’m not sure what you mean by separate APIs using separate API credentials, could you explain?

You say you don’t have the PayFlow edition, then why do you have a PayFlow log? You should leave the PayFlow integration empty if your PayPal Pro account is not the PayFlow Edition. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayFlow[/hilite]

Posted: Thursday Nov 22nd, 2012 at 7:26 am #32340

Hi Jamie.

I just had another member confirm that he has PayPal Pro in Australia, here: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/paypal-pro-does-work-in-australia/

It’d be PayPal Pro PayFlow Edition: https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/howto_product_matrix

I hope that helps! :)
