Hi Diane.

The custom profile fields are part of the s2Member Framework, not the Pro add-on. They should work.

Could you post a screenshot of what you have in your General Options page? [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields[/hilite]

Thanks. :)

Hi Luke.

If it’s a buy-now transaction, you can give just the days left until Dec 31st. You’d use the PHP to figure out the days left and then use it in the shortcode. http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604

I hope that helps.

and is it commonly free with host like Godaddy?

No, SSL certificates aren’t free, but you don’t need SSL if you’re not receiving payments on your site.

Maria, the Express Checkout integration was improved in version 120608. http://www.s2member.com/changelog/#s2-changes-v120608

(s2Member Pro) PayPal® Express Checkout. This release enables “PayPal Account Optional” for PayPal® Express Checkout, via s2Member Pro Forms. In other words, this release makes the PayPal® Express Checkout option through Pro Forms, behave more like a standard PayPal® Button; where a customer is not always required to have a PayPal® account during checkout. This functionality is enabled automatically, there’s nothing you need to change in your s2Member® integration. However, we do suggest that you turn “PayPal Account Optional” (on) inside your PayPal® account. Please see this thread for further details.

Update your s2Member installation to the latest release, 120622, and try again, please. :)

Thanks for the report, Allan. I’ll inform Jason.

Could you send your login info using the contact form, in case he needs to check your installation? s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Hi Luca.

You don’t need PayPal Pro to use the pro-forms. Pre Sale FAQs » To use s2Member® Pro Forms, will I have to use PayPal® Pro?

Ah, got it. Thanks for confirming it.

You can try other human verification techniques, maybe, SI Captcha seems to not be enough for you. There are several plugins for that, and it’s possible that many of them won’t conflict with s2Member. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=spam+registration

They won’t work in pro-forms, but the spammers wouldn’t look for those, they’d go for the default registration form. http://retrieverlife.com/wp-login.php?action=register

Having said that, one thing you could try is creating a custom registration page using the pro-forms and with htaccess redirect there anyone that loads the default registration. If it’s a bot, it won’t know how to work that form, since it’s not the default one.

I hope that helps. :)

What plugin, David? Because the folder is called must-use plugins? It’s just a hack, as you can see it’s only 5 or so lines of code, not a full blown, heavy plugin that’ll slow the site down. On the contrary, it’s disabling things to speed it up so you can optimize your installation.

Great. :)

How would I put up IPN per button?

s2Member does this for you when you use the shortcode for the button. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® IPN Integration -> More Info[/hilite]

*Quick Tip* In addition to the default IPN settings inside your PayPal® account, the IPN URL is also set on a per-transaction basis by the special PayPal® Button Code that s2Member provides you with. In other words, if you have multiple sites operating on one PayPal® account, that’s OK. s2Member dynamically sets the IPN URL for each transaction. The result is that the IPN URL configured from within your PayPal® account, becomes the default, which is then overwritten on a per-transaction basis. In fact, PayPal® recently updated their system to support IPN URL preservation. One PayPal® account can handle multiple sites, all using different IPN URLs.

*NOT True w/ PayPal® Pro* With PayPal® Pro integration you absolutely MUST set an IPN URL inside your PayPal® account. PayPal® Pro integration does NOT allow the IPN location to be overridden on a per-transaction basis. If you’re using a single PayPal® Pro account for multiple cross-domain installations, and you need to receive IPN notifications for each of your domains; you’ll want to create a central IPN processing script that scans variables in each IPN response, forking itself out to each of your individual domains. In rare cases when this is necessary, you’ll find two variables in all IPN responses for s2Member. The originating domain name ( i.e. yoursite.com ) will always be included somewhere within, either: custom and/or rp_invoice_id; depending on the type of transaction. These variables can be used to test incoming IPNs, and fork to the proper installation. For your convenience, an example script has been provided inside: /s2m-pro-extras/paypal-central-ipn.php. You can download all Extras here: s2m-pro-extras.zip.

I see. Then the failed attempts aren’t even getting to the point where the log starts. :/

It may be a JavaScript problem, or a problem with the JS trying to connect to a URL that’s not working, which is why I ask about mod_security. Did you read the article? Knowledge Base » Mod Security, Random 503/403 Errors

Have you been able to reproduce the issue or does it still seem random? It’d be good to find something in common between the failed attemps. Do you have server logs that show anything?

Having a Firefox add-on like HttpFox running while a failed attempt happens may show something. Also, having the console open in Firefox when you have the failed attempt, may show an error in the execution that gives a clue.

[ERROR] Mcrypt/Encryption Extension
[ERROR] Multibyte String Extension

Not sure how the lack of these affects s2Member. I’ll email Jason.

Is http://reikimagazine-online.com/paid-articles/ a category or a normal WP page?

I see…

Well, I’d suggest not including that during registration. The more things you ask the person to do, the less people you’ll have completing the thing. I suggest that you make the registration quick and simple and later invite them to add more things to their profiles.

If you really must have it on registration in the pro-form, you’ll need to customize it. A freelance developer may do this for you. You could try sites like eLance, oDesk or jobs.wordpress.net.

I hope it helps. :)
