I forwarded everything to him.

Yeah, I understand. I’m sorry we haven’t found the problem yet.

The problem you had with the checkbox was definitely unusual, I don’t know if it has to do with a plugin conflict or what, but Jason will probably try to reproduce that to see if there’s something in s2Member that needs fixing. It’s the first time we had it reported.

Without the checkbox, everything seems to be working correctly, even the s2Member part that sends the email to AWeber to add the user. What I don’t understand is why AWeber is not adding the user. Would it be possible that you give us access to the AWeber account for a bit, to take a look there? I’ll reply to your first email so you can reply back to it with that if you want to.

1. Do I offer the new user that has just created a free membership the ccBill Buttons for Level #1 Access (one for each payment type), or do I offer them the ccBill Modification/Cancelation Button since they are an existing member on my site?

The level button. Since he’s logged in, the purchase will upgrade his account. The modification button is to modify a subscription, which he doesn’t have yet.

2. Since I have members register a username/password before how would I stop s2Member from sending an email asking them to create a username/password (or does this automatically happen if they are signed into an exisiting WordPress account and the account is automatically upgraded behind the scenes without the s2Member email being sent)?

If he’s logged in when he loads the page with the button, then the account he’s logged in to will be upgraded. He’d be required to register if he wasn’t logged in before starting the order. So make sure the buttons are only shown to logged in users, restricting at Level 0 the page where they are.

3. In this setup the s2Member ‘Approval Page’ will never be seen correct? A member would pay with ccBill, if approved see the ccBill approval page with the link at the bottom of the page back to my site in which time their membership should be upgrade. Is that upgrade instantaneous or would they need to log out then back in again?

I haven’t used ccBill myself, so I’m not sure if they’ll need to log back in. To control the page they’re returned to, please read this documentation: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ccBill® Options -› Approval/Denial URLs -> Approval Page Template[/hilite]

No problem. :)

I removed the login info you posted publicly. You need to be careful with that.

Using the contact form, please send me the login details for WP, FTP and if you don’t mind, to ClickBank, so I can review your settings in both places, as well as take a look a the logs when I do the test purchase. s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Thanks.

Hi Sean.

Yeah, I see there are paragraph tags, line-break tags where there is an HTML comment in the code, and an HTML entity. Something is affecting the parsing of the shortcode, adding extra filtering that is causing you that problem.

I understand no plugins/theme were added or removed, but something must have changed if this wasn’t happening before. Probably a plugin or theme update, if you didn’t install a new one.

To find what is doing it, first test the theme changing the to the default one for a moment and refreshing the page with the button to test it. To test the plugins, deactivate them one by one, testing after each too.

Or try button encryption, maybe that prevents the problem, since there’ll be less code to affect by the parsing. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Button Encryption[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Because the subscription has not ended while it’s still running, so we don’t know the time. We don’t know if the user will keep paying for 10 more months or if he’ll stop tomorrow. That’s why the time is set when the user ends it (failed to pay, cancelled, etc.), then PayPal notifies s2Member and s2Member sets the time he’ll lose access (immediate if refund, whatever paid days left if cancelled, etc).

What we’ll change it to, is setting the EOT time at the end of the paid time, even if the subscription hasn’t ended, and update that time after each payment. Then there’s always an EOT time for the access and you’ll be able to do stuff with it (like notifications).

Cool. :)

That redirection is done by WordPress itself, which is the one that processes the login info submitted with the widget.

I’ll email Jason asking him if there’s a way to control that, and let you know when I hear back from him. :)

No problem. :)

Thanks for reporting that, Laura. I’m forwarding it to Jason so he can look into it. :)

Were you the test order from Ana? I do not see that user in the system (or in Aweber). Did you actually register?

Yeah, the PayPal account is under my wife’s name (Ana), the WP account I registered is under mine (Cristian Lavaque).

I thought that s2member automatically served up the “time to register” page. It is possible that my tech team changed this when they were trying to set up an advanced integration with ShareASale.

But that’s not the default return page, you are using a customized one. Yeah, if you didn’t, then they probably customized it. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® PDT / Auto-Return -> Auto-Return Page Template[/hilite]

But I am not giving up on s2member. I will be back when I am setting it up on another site.

That’s cool. I wish you the best with this site and look forward to help you with the next one. :)

It’d still be good to spot what’s adding those line-breaks in your posts, though, to prevent the same problem in the future. I saw that even the PayPal created button also had [hilite code]
[/hilite] tags added at the end of each line, but it wasn’t as obvious because that code has fewer lines.

You can place the edited copy of the file, in the must-use plugins directory: /wp-content/mu-plugins/. Then it won’t be overwritten, but you should check if any changes are needed for it when a new update for s2Member is released.

I hope it helps. :)
