Great! Glad it helped you. :)

Here’s what Jason replied back when I asked about Amazon not being the default despite it being configured:

Yes, but it will require a hack file. Here’s how to accomplish this.

<?php
add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_before_file_download_access', 's2_file_storage_default');
function s2_file_storage_default() {
	if(isset($_GET['s2member_file_download']) && !isset($_GET['s2member_file_storage']))
		$_GET['s2member_file_storage'] = 'local'; // 'local', 's3' or 'cf'.
}

Create this dir/file with that code: /wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php
See: Knowledge Base » Hacking s2Member® Via Hooks/Filters

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks, got the email.

I reviewed the site yesterday and tried a test purchase today, but didn’t succeed. I keep getting this error, despite making sure I enter the correct address:

Error #27. The transaction has been declined because of an AVS mismatch. The address provided does not match billing address of cardholder.

I have no other card to test the upgrade with. :/

I noticed that you have the auto-login hack, I wonder if it has something to do with the login problem you’re reporting after upgrades. Could you test removing that and testing an upgrade? Remember to log in with a non-admin account for the test.

Did you do all the other tests suggetsed here? Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

That’s odd. I suggest you update via FTP then. See: s2Member® » Pro » Install/Upgrade Instructions

Thanks for the new info.

I see you have a copy of s2Member Pro v121023. I removed the link to the download because the forums are public.

I left Jason and Elizabeth a note, one of them will most likely leave a reply here as soon as they review this. Thanks for your patience.

but the Paypal Checkout page is complete different…

The page that was coming up with button show the recurring payment tersm… total amount… everything.

But the page that comes up with Paypal pro form just shows the 100 Char long descirption..

Any idea why this difference is there?

The buttons integrate with PayPal Standard, while the pro-form integrates with PayPal Express Checkout. They have different checkout interfaces. Express Checkout limits the length of the description, for some reason, this is out of our control.

Here’s a cache of that post: http://web.archive.org/web/20120929001936/http://eduantech.com/code-snippets/donation-button-that-gives-access

About the caching, the ones that give random trouble are database or object caching. It could be W3 Total Cache or another plugin, make sure you don’t have them enabled.

Are you using s2Member’s shortcode for the PayPal button? [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Membership Level # Buttons[/hilite]

If you’re using a button from paypal.com, did you integrate it with s2Member? Knowledge Base » Using Buttons Generated @ PayPal.com

Are these users new signups or upgrades of existing accounts?

If upgrade, make sure the user is logged in when he loads the page with the button, and it’ll have to be the s2 shortcode button, not a paypal.com one.

If they’re new signups, then he needs to allow cookies so on return from PayPal, s2Member can create a cookie so he can register and gets the access he just paid for (e.g. level).

If the cookie doesn’t work, he needs to register with the access registration link s2Member sent him in the Signup Confirmation Email. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Signup Confirmation Email[/hilite]

s2Member doesn’t do something to prevent login widgets from working. As far as I know, the login session is handled by WordPress and s2Member doesn’t interfere with it. I’ll ask Jason if a recent update may have had an undesired effect like this.

Jeff, I’m terribly sorry you had trouble with your developer, but I’m afraid this is an issue between you. I understand that you gave him the money to purchase the s2Member license, but he seems to have purchased it under his name instead of yours. :/

If you tell me who he is, so I look him up, maybe I’ll find his account and perhaps he did use an email address of yours. When I search the users for gnofee.com or your name, your current account is the only one coming up.

We ask develpers to register a customer license under the customer’s names so he has his own account and not lose access to updates after ending their relationship, precisely to avoid this kind of problem. See: http://www.s2member.com/prices/#s2-terms-license-types

We don’t do license transfers when the owner requests it, much less without his approval. We could have trouble ourselves if we did something like that. You will need to sort this out with him, or get your own s2Member Pro license.

Thanks for the update.

It seems the s2Member restriction is not being applied when WP Touch queries the posts. You may need this: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced Query Conditionals[/hilite]

I’m not sure if the Alt View protection would help, you could try that. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Alternative View Protection[/hilite]

Okay, then wp_mail is working and emails are being sent.

Did you ask AWeber support about this problem?

Regarding the AWeber integration troubleshooting, did you do everything mentioned, including the Reverse DNS thing? Knowledge Base » Debugging the AWeber integration

Call your hosting provider and request that they add a “Reverse DNS record, PTR, or pointer record” to your hosting account.

This may be your problem if you are seeing that when you run the “bcc” test all is looking good, meaning the “add” email is being generated by the S2Member system, but Aweber is not adding your contacts to your list.

Basically, without this “Reverse DNS record, PTR, or pointer record” your “add” emails will be blocked as spam by Aweber and names will not be added to your list.

By the way, I see you have the same button several times in the page. So the shortcode doesn’t need to be parsed each time, you could parse it once and then use the output several times with a bit of PHP, like this:

<?php $s2_cb_button = do_shortcode('[[s2Member-Pro-ClickBank-Button cbp="1" level="1" ccaps="" desc="My Product Access / description and pricing details here." custom="mysite.com" tp="0" tt="D" rp="1" rt="L" rr="0" image="http://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/tt-buy-now-button.png" output="anchor" cbskin="4786" /]]'); ?>

Then you just echo [hilite mono]$button[/hilite] where you want it:

<?php echo $s2_cb_button; ?>

Remember you’ll need a PHP execution plugin for that to work in your WP page, and not to use the Visual editor or it’ll break the PHP code. Knowledge Base » ezPHP Plugin for WordPress®

Or you could do something like this: Knowledge Base » ClickBank buttons outside the site with s2Member
