Hi Christine.

So yes, it is a problem with the theme I’m using.

I can’t go with another theme. My company has already invested a lot of time into this one.

Have you tried contacting the theme’s developer to fix this? If the theme is causing you that problem, then it’s modifying the shortcode parsing in some way, which doesn’t seem to be working properly in every situation.

If he doesn’t fix the parsing, he could at least tell you how to remove what the theme adds to it so it goes back to the default way WP parses it.

Another thing you could try, but doesn’t work all the time with this problem, is to use the TrueEdit plugin and remove all the content filters, except the do_shortcode one. I’ve had mixed success with this solution, but it’s worth a shot. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/trueedit/

I hope it helps. :)

Hi Ben.

Jason has been going through his pending emails and answered many the last two days, but still hasn’t gotten to the one about your problem. He should get to it soon. Thanks for your patience. :)

No problem, Mary. Good think Philly figured out what your problem was with it. :)

About the other thread, you mean this one? http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/how-to-set-up-trial-3-months-lifetime/ I already replied to it, but you maybe you didn’t get a notification.

Yeah, I imagine. :)

Hi Austin.

1. Can I embed custom forms for multiple products (processing through PayPal Pro) on the same page of my site?

No. For now, you can’t have multiple pro-forms in the same page, they need their own each. You can have in a single page the links to the separate pages for the pro-forms, though.

2. Can subscription-based sign up forms pass/collect custom information/answers to product options questions? The end result should at the very least pass all order info, with selected options, to a specified email (that email MUST include the PayPal order number, in order to tie the selected options to the correct customer and order for later fulfillment). I would highly prefer that the selected options at sign up would be stored specific to that customer/member within S2 Member after signup. That would allow my client to refer to the information at any time.

Well, you could try using the custom profile fields to do this. They’d be shown in the registration forms. You can test these in the free version of s2Member. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields[/hilite]

There are two emails sents on a paid registration: One is the Signup Confirmation email, sent after successful checkout; the other is the New User email, sent on registration. You can also check these out in the free version.
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Signup Confirmation Email[/hilite]
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Email Configuration -> New User[/hilite]

3. Is it possible to give new members a personalized portal that would include information they selected at signup, current subscriptions (PayPal), options/content specific to the chosen product subscription, etc?

You can customize a page for the user’s info, using variables, which would show different values depending on the user. s2Member provides some constants you can try for this, some available via shortcodes, others only via PHP. They are in the free version, if you want to take a look. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› PHP/API Constants[/hilite]

4. Similar to number 3 above, is it possible to gave custom options/content within the personalized member portal? Those options would need to change, based on what products have been subscribed to and what options were chosen at signup.

You can use PHP in your page, if you have a PHP execution plugin installed, and do pretty custom things in your page.

You mention “what products have been subscribed to”. When you say subscriptions, you mean recurring payments, right? And you say products, as in many, not just one. In that case, I should clarify that multiple subscriptions per user are not supported yet, although it’ll be possible in the future.

5. In connection to both 3 and 4 above, would it be possible for members to purchase/subscribe for additional products at a later date and have the content/options in their personal member portal update appropriately?

You could do that with some PHP, getting info on the user to customize the page based on it.

6. Finally, my developer is creating the site on a sub domain right now (ami.susankledzik.com). I need to be able to implement Pro version of the plugin on that sub domain and then transfer the license to the actual domain upon site completion and launch (with all plugin options preserved during transfer).

The license won’t be a problem if you migrate your site to another address.

I hope that helps. :)

I’m testing in sandbox. everything is working except I am not receiving any confirmation email that I am now a member.

When in Sandbox, no emails are sent. It’s much better to test with 1 cent live transactions.

i think that s2member levels independant would be great.

You can do that customizing the s2Member level roles with something like the User Role Editor. You’d need to remove the access capabilities to all the levels that aren’t the same as the role’s. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/

You’ll also want to lock your roles, so they aren’t reset after each update. Knowledge Base » Locking s2Member Roles/Capabilities

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks. I appreciate the answers. But s2Members lost me at #1. Pay By Check is a requirement.

Well, it’s not exactly Pay By Check, but the user can use his checking account to fund his PayPal account.

Yeah, that sounds simpler if you don’t need to manage their access to your content. :)

Hi Jason.

No, that is not available yet. I’m adding it to the feature requests list. :)

Great! Let us know if you have any other questions. :)

Hi Mike.

I don’t see your code. Could you post it again, making sure you wrap it with HTML code tags? Thanks!

Hi Thomas.

Could you try this one?

[hilite pre_code]
remove_action("init", "c_ws_plugin__s2member_login_redirects_r::remove_login_redirect_filters");
[/hilite]

Thanks Richard.

This was fixed today. YouTube seems to have stopped supporting the embed code we were using, so we updated it and it’s working now. :)
