Okay… Yeah, please send that via the contact form, I’ll give it a look and Jason may need it too when he gets to this. s2Member® » Private Contact Form

If you have all the info updated for the PayPal Pro account, I don’t understand why you had the error with the new transactions, then. I’m not sure what the previous account has to do with it then. The way I understand it is that existing subscriptions keep going over at PayPal, and s2Member is only notified of payments, not asked for credentials.

I think I’ll need to wait for Jason to explain this, since he’s the one that understands it best.

Okay. And with all the account details update to the new account you are getting the errors in the first post, or did you update it now? If you updated it now, could you do a test purchase to see how it goes?

Great. :)

Hi Paul.

That’s because, although it’s non-recurring, your pro-form is probably for a subscription instead of a buy-now transaction. Subscriptions with Express Checkout (the PayPal option in the pro-form) are required to be paid with a PayPal account, so no cards will be given as an alternative.

If it were a buy-now transaction, then he won’t be required to login to his PayPal account to pay. You’ll find the buy-now options in the second half of the drop-down menu of the pro-form’s generator, or you can edit the shortcode manually. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Shortcode Attributes (Explained)[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks Paul.

I don’t see the color settings in that screenshot, though. Those are the ones you’re having trouble with, right? Could you please add a screenshot of that, please? Thanks!

By the way, the URL for the logo’s link is that of the logo’s image, instead of a page. You may want to fix that.

Hi Jacequelyn.

You can use the s2Member Pro Login Widget. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Pro Login Widget (via PHP)[/hilite]

To put it up there, you may want to google how to put things in the WP admin bar.

I hope that helps. :)

I split the latest replies into their own thread, since they’re on a different topic than the original conversation.

No, no idea. I haven’t used bbPress myself, or that widget, so I’ve never tried hacking it or found that problem yet.

Could you post the hack you tried, with all the info you can give, so someone with bbPress that is familiar with this may help you? Once you post that, I can then also ask Jason if he can spot from it why you may have that problem.

Thanks!

the first post of any bbpress thread doesn’t show up for some reason.

Where does the first post not show up? In the topic itself or in the widget?

I’ve been thinking about this some more. Do you plan to keep using the previous PayPal account for new customers, or only to keep getting payment from the running subscriptions? I’ve been assuming you’d want to sell with both accounts.

If you’ll make all new sales with the new PayPal account and only keep the other one for the existing subscriptions there, what you can do is update all the PayPal Options in s2Member to work with the new account. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options[/hilite]

I think that’ll take care of the errors you reported first. Existing subscriptions in the other PayPal account will still send IPNs to s2Member, so those users will be demoted when the subscription ends.

Let me know if this helps.

About taxes, the pro-form allows you some control over that. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Tax Rate Calculations[/hilite]

I was expecting to see the login form but didn’t – did i miss something?

You should have seen something, whether logged out or in. You don’t even see the PHP code?

Could you link to the page where you tried it? And could please you take a screenshot of the edit page where you added the code?

Thanks.

Another s2Member? Do you mean another membership plugin for WP? In that case, I don’t know how they’d play together, have never tried it.

One thing you could try is the Plugins Organizer. I tried it some months ago and it lets you manage what plugins to load in which pages. So you can have plugins active or inactive selectively, and it may let you avoid conflicts. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugin-organizer/

I hope that helps. :)

Will AMR users work for the standard WP profile fields as well as the custom ones?

I believe so, from what I’ve seen. http://wpusersplugin.com/3086/user-lists-and-filtering-with-s2member-fields/

If you’re in doubt, the best thing to do may be asking the AMR Users plugin developer.

I hope that helps. :)

You’re welcome. :)

My pleasure. :)

Hi Chidu.

Using MailChimp, as Cassel points out, would be a way. Another would would be using a cronjob with your own custom script to check the EOT (end of term) times with a database query, to email those that’ll expire soon.

One thing you have to understand about EOT times is that they’re not set with subscriptions before the subscription is ended in the payment gateway. So relying on the EOT time in the user’s profile to notify him ahead of time, doesn’t work very well with subscriptions that are still running.

One-time payments, though, if not for unlimited access, will set an EOT time at the time of the purchase.

One way to give a trial and have the EOT time for it set immediately, is to use the free registration pro-form, to give access to the protected content, but without charging. This pro-form lets you set the expiration for it, if you want to use it for trials.

I hope that helps. :)

modify s2Member’s roles so that they include the agent role

I think Eduán meant the agent role’s capabilities.

This working will depend on your real estate plugin relying on the agent role or its capabilities.

Hi Dan.

I’ll email Elizabeth in Account to help you with this.

What happened when you tried the lost email tool? You didn’t get the email?

Hi Neal.

Thanks for the kudos! :)

About the users directory, you’ll need a plugin that adds that to your site. AMR Users is one that can work with s2Member’s custom profile fields, but if you don’t use those, then other user listing/directory plugins may be enough.

I hope that helps!

I’m assuming logging is enabled, which is best when you’re still testing. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging[/hilite]. If it isn’t, then please enable it so you get things logged in the future.

Logs would be found under /wp-content/plugins/s2member-logs/.

Is it possible for the moment to remove the paypal option button on the pro form?

I’m afraid not, it’s required by PayPal to have Express Checkout as an option.

if I merge old subscription to my new paypal account, how I remove the connection from my old paypal account to s2member?

The user’s account on WordPress has the subscr. ID, you’ll need to update that if it changes. The subscription over at PayPal has the IPN URL, which you’d need to update (not sure if it can be changed, probably not) if you move the user to a new WP+s2 installation with a different IPN URL, or have an IPN forwarding script where the subscription’s IPN URL is pointing.

Plus how to create two installation at the same time?

You install a second WordPress in a directory. Or enable multisite and use s2Member in one of the child blogs, but child blogs have a few limitations for security, and may have certain complications when you try going back to just one blog.

I don’t think the second installation is ideal, but it is an option for your problem…

thank you for your time and fast replied.

Glad to help. :)

In the shortcode, change the [hilite mono]output[/hilite] attribute to [hilite code]output="url"[/hilite].

It is possible to include a password in the import, but not the export, since the password is encrypted in the database, it can’t be retrieved.

A user mentioned the possibility of copying the encrypted password from the database and inserting it in the database of the other site directly (not through the import tool, but with a MySQL query), but I haven’t tried this to confirm if it works. I don’t know if when encrypting WordPress takes into account the site’s domain name or something like that. You can give it a shot, though.

I’m glad you found the problem! Thanks for the update. I’m glad I could help. :)

Assigning a particular IP to the user isn’t available in s2Member, but there’s the Unique IP restriction. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Unique IP Access Restrictions[/hilite]

You can set the restriction to just 1 IP, which will be whichever the user has the first time, and any other IP would trigger the restriction, until the restriction’s limit expires or you reset it in his profile.

If you still want to set the specific IP he can have, then you’ll need to find a plugin that allows that control.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Jen.

Using an s2member registered account

What do you mean? With an s2Member Level role? The registration is not done by s2Member, that’s still WordPress.

s2Member Level roles don’t have author capabilities, and if you’re talking about an author, then it’s not an s2Member role.

Could you clarify a bit more, please? Thanks!
