Hi Rob.

I don’t know what happened in your case, which is not what normally would happen to a user after the purchase. Were you logged in to your account when you paid the license? If you weren’t, that’d explain why your account wasn’t upgraded.

I’m contacting Elizabeth to look into this to sort out your access. Is your email address here the same one you paid with in PayPal? If not, could you contact the s2Member email address you got a confirmation email from after purchase?

Thanks. :)

Hi Glenn.

That’s right, you can set an EOT time manually editing their profiles.

Regarding the EOT notification working with those set manually, that’s what I believe happens. The documentation for it mentions even manual deletions, although it doesn’t specifically mention EOTs set manually. I’ll ask Jason to confirm this, I’ll let you know when I hear back from him in the coming days.

I’m sorry about the commas/semicolons error, I was too tired and missed that when copy/pasting. I fixed that in my post now.

I just tried the code and it worked fine for me in my test installation, with description and all in the pro-form after picking an option. I don’t know why it didn’t work for you.

I’m sorry it didn’t come the way you wanted it out-of-the-box. That’s why, although I’m not required to, to help you I coded that for you.

Anyway, maybe the current s2Member, or perhaps the new one when we release it later this year, will do all you need for a future project. I hope that’s the case and we’ll be happy to help with what we can. :)

That’s odd… And you saved the changes after choosing a Membership Options page?

If so, then maybe you have another plugin causing a conflict. Could you do a test deactivating other plugins one by one? After each try to open that protected page from another browser where you’re not logged in and see if you can still view it.

Hi Steven.

1. Does s2Member Framework have the ability to restrict uploads like it can restrict downloads? If not, is it planned for a future release?

No, uploads are not supported and I they’re not in the to-do list, not that I know of. I’ll take your question as a vote for that feature, though.

2. Can s2Member Framework restrict group creation based on membership level (e.g., bronze members can create public groups, silver members can create public and private groups, gold members can create public, private and hidden groups)? If not, is it planned for a future release?

Do you mean BuddyPress groups? Well, not specifically, but you could try using the URI restriction to see if you can do it using parts of the URLs related to creating groups. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions[/hilite]

3. Is a special page required to direct PayPal to after a payment has been made?

No, s2Member returns the user to a default page after checkout at PayPal. With s2Member Pro, you have a new attribute available for your PayPal shortcode, that’ll let you specify a page you’d like the user to be returned to. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes -> success[/hilite]

4. After a user registers, do they automatically become a member of the main site and all subsites if WordPress Multiuser and BuddyPress are used?

No, this is not the way WP multisite manages users across the network. There may be a plugin for multisite networks that lets you share users across blogs in it, though.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Dayna.

Yes, it’s fine to have them register even if you don’t have protected content yet. You can have them upgrade to a paid level later and/or add paid content to your site later.

If you have the free version installed, you can test this yourself: register a test account even if there’s not protected content in the site, then create a page and protect it, the test account without access to it won’t be able to access it, but if it does have enough access for it he’ll be able to view it.

Does that answer your question? :)

If you don’t import a password, then WP would generate one randomly and they’d need to use the Lost Password tool to get it emailed to them.

If you want to give them one, it can be the one you choose, just enter it in the column for the password in your CSV file.

Ah, it’s a bit of content in a page, not a full page. Sorry I didn’t get it the first time.

In that case you could use a conditional to show/hide it based on the person’s access. Video » s2Member (Advanced Conditionals)

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Timothy.

Could you check this article out and tell me if it helps you identify the problem? Knowledge Base » Logged in but am considered logged out

Hi Tim.

if I create a new role group that has the s2member roles for level3 and then the user downgrades to level 2, how will the users ‘group’ get downgraded?

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by role group. s2Member has its roles, and those are the ones that will work for access to content.

If you give the user other roles, those roles would need to have the s2Member access capabilities to work for access management with s2Member.

I’m not sure that demotions on EOT will work normally with a role other than the expected s2Member Level roles, though. You could test it.

Hi Tony.

Yeah, index.html will affect the normal behavior. Hmm…

You could protect the whole site at Level 0 so logged out users can’t view it (add a forward slash to the Level 0 box in the URI restriction) and close registrations so they can’t register to view it.
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions[/hilite]
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Open Registration[/hilite]

Then create the account for your friends and sponsors, or send them a link that’ll let them register even if registrations are closed. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Registration Access Links[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Right, but WordPress doesn’t have a feature to email users, and it’s not something s2Member adds.

What s2Member does allow is to edit the email that gets sent to the user when he registers. Not sure if that’s useful in your case. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Email Configuration -> New User[/hilite]

Another thing s2Member adds is integration with services like MailChimp or AWeber, with the option to have the person added to a different list based on the s2Member Level. Then you’d be able to mail users using those services, segmented by s2Member Level. Video » s2Member (API List Servers)

I hope that helps.
