Hi Paddy.

However, I need to purchase to test and develop the site. Fine. But, as far as I can see, you are suggesting that I have to get my client to purchase the license for use on their site?

So does that Mean I need one license to develop the site and see if I am happy, then talk my client through another purchase?

The license should be under your client’s name, since it’ll be his. But you can develop the site using it, you don’t need another one under your name to work on his site. A single site license is enough if your client will only use s2Member in one site, the development one doesn’t count.

Does that answer your question? :)

Hi Paul.

Here’s an article on migrating to s2Member: Knowledge Base » How to Migrate to s2Member Pro from Other Software

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Richard.

I’m notifying Elizabeth in Accounts so she takes a look at this. :)

Hi Montaya.

cannot find how to start forming the members areas

What do you mean? The content protected at by a certain level or custom capability? I’m not sure I understand the question. Could you please explain some more what you want to achieve?

Thanks! :)

Hi Quentin.

Sorry, those are not supported by the s2Member User Import tool.

You’d need to hack the code for it in order to add new fields to import. Or use another user import plugin to update those fields for the users.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Clayton.

1) When a subscription expires, a member is switched to membership role S0. Are their custom capabilities changed, or would they still have that M.O.M. capability? Can I depend on expiration to change their access?

Demotion on EOT also removes all custom capabilities. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Automatic EOT Behavior[/hilite]

Is there another way to save and retrieve what plan a person bought?

In the user’s profile you can see all the custom capabilities he has. What do you mean by “saving”?

3) Is there a way to use custom capabilities in Restriction Options? e.g. the /forum URI requires the M.O.M. capability? It looks like no, just want to confirm.

No, not yet.

Well, you can use the button’s shortcode to output a URL to use in the anchor’s [hilite mono]href[/hilite]. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes -> output[/hilite]

You say a single payment, then it’s not a subscription… Subscriptions are for recurring payments, the single payments would be the buy-now transactions. Buy Nows aren’t a problem. The problem is with recurring payment subscriptions, because if you sell a second one, it’ll replace the first one.

Hi Michael.

Just did a test, and it seems the Post restriction wins over the Category one. I created a post and set it at Level 0, and then protected the category its in at Level 2. Went to the post after logging out and the Membership Options page vars say it’s protected at Level 0 by the Post restriction. When I did the same test with another post in that category, but without the Post restriction set, it was protected at Level 2. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Membership Options Page Variables (MOP Vars)[/hilite]

You can do your own test to confirm this.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Jorge.

Since you already will have them register an account, the Specific Post/Page restriction isn’t as useful. The advantage of that restriction is managing access to content by users that don’t have an account.

With an account, you can sell a custom capability, instead. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Custom Capabilities[/hilite]

Then when someone buys that ccap, you can ship your physical good.

About the email, if you set your Payment Notification to send you an email, then in your email account you could create a filter that will forward those notifications about the ccap for the physical good, to the address you mentioned. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Notifications -› Payment Notifications[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Jordi.

CCAA1 is automatically added to the previous subscriptions?

You talk about subscription in plural, so I wanted to make this clear: s2Member doesn’t support more than one subscription per account at the moment.

Suppose I were a completely new user, and wanted to register on the FREE level (0).

For users to register for free, make sure it’s enabled here. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Open Registration[/hilite]

I have been directed to the site from somewhere else. What would I see ?

It depends on where the other site was linking to. If it’s an unprotected page, then you’d see the page the link pointed to. But if it was protected by s2Member, then the user would be redirected to the Membership Options page. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Membership Options Page[/hilite]

Would it be the Login/Welcome page ?

No, the page you select for the Login Welcome, will automatically be protected at Level 0 by s2Member (which equates to being logged in), so a new person sent to the site won’t have access to it. Once he logs in, that’s the page he’d be shown, though.

Also, the installation speaks of a link on the Members Options page to the Registration form.

The registration form in WordPress is here: /wp-login.php?action=register

s2Member Pro makes it possible to create a registration form in any WP post or page you want (including the one you chose for the Membership Options), using the free registration pro-form. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms[/hilite]

BuddyPress has its own registration page, which I think is /register/

I have (I think) correctly configured Buddypress, yet the Registration page is blank. So is the Members Options page, for that matter. I’m obviously doing something wrong, but what? The rest of the Buddypress installation seems OK – its just the Registration and Login which appear to be up the creek.
Any ideas ?

Hmm… blank? The Membership Options page could be empty if you didn’t put anything in that page. You need to add content to it, as you would with any other page in the site.

About the BP registration one, as well as the Login page, though, I don’t know. Can I have a link to them to take a look? If you don’t want to make them public, you can use the contact form: s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Hi Michaela.

I don’t think an email address would be a valid WP username because of the @. I just tried it and got this error “Only lowercase letters (a-z) and numbers are allowed.”
