Hi Nora.

Eduán is right, this is not simple with the current s2Member.

The only way to sell access without requiring a an account, would be with Specific Post restrictions. If hacking is not a problem, maybe you can do something to sell that large number of articles articles with the Specific Post restriction.

The new s2Member we’re working on now, a full rewrite, will make it possible to have all the advantages of levels, custom capabilities, specific post, file protection and more, all combined, so it’ll be possible to do what you want. This is coming soon, sometime this summer hopefully, but we don’t have a set date yet.

You mention hacking is not a problem, are you a developer? Would you be interested in beta testing this when it’s ready for that? You seem to have a situation where you could put it to the test for uses we don’t have other testers for.

Yeah, you’d have to stop using the CNAME redirect for CloudFront in the secured page of your site.

You can also try asking Amazon support what they suggest? I don’t think you’re the first person using a CNAME for your CloudFront hosted files embedded in a secured page.

If you add that redirection, anyone that tries /wp-login.php?action=register would be taken to the new one you created.

You can zip it and upload it to your server, then send me the URL to the file via the Contact Form, please. s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Thanks. :)

Hi Alex.

The forum is a heavily customized bbPress. http://bbpress.org/

The theme is inFocus. http://www.s2member.com/r/themeforest-infocus-theme/

I think there are plugins that let you customize the admin bar easily. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=admin+bar

The payment pages were done with the s2Member Pro pro-forms. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms[/hilite]

The Account page can be any WP page you create, and protect it at Level 0 so the user has to be logged in to see it. You could use the Login Welcome as the Account Page. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Login Welcome Page[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Hmm… I don’t know…

Only thing that comes to mind is to create a hack that checks for a secret key in the URL, that when present authenticates the person as a user you created for this, with the access you need it to have to see the content.

You’ll need to find what WP function/method will let you auntenticate that service you’re trying to use. A quick search of the WP functions found me wp_signon, not sure if it does what you need, but it’s a start. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_signon

I hope that helps.

Sure. :)

Hi Mark.

1) No, s2Member Pro doesn’t connect to our site to check the status of the license.

2) It has been tested with Apache and Litespeed. http://www.litespeedtech.com/

I don’t remember users reporting having tried other servers yet, but it’s most probable that there won’t be trouble, unless the mod_rewrite rules are different than the ones for Apache.

We have a server check tool that can help find problems in the configuration, too. Upload it to the WP dir and open in your browser: http://www.s2member.com/r/server-check-tool/

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Anita.

So you already have users with a subscription for a level, and you’re trying to sell them a second subscription? The problem is that s2Member can’t handle more than one subscription per user yet. This will be possible in the new s2Member we’re developing, but that’s still not ready for release.

If I didn’t understand correctly, could you explain what your current membership is like, please? Thanks!

HI Barry.

If the access is incremental, you can do it with Levels. s2Member Pro lets you add more levels to your membership. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Membership Levels/Labels[/hilite]

If the access isn’t incremental, you can use custom capabilities. Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities)

You can test both, levels and custom capabilities, in the free version of s2Member, the Framework, even if the Levels only to up to 4. If you see the Levels work for you, then you can get the Pro add-on to add more levels.

I hope that helps. :)

You can style it with CSS. Use firebug to find the right selectors and test your styles, and then add your code to your CSS file. http://getfirebug.com ;)

Hi Daniel.

To register, they have to go to the registration page. What I suggest for the ClickBank Thank-You page is to create your own and then take users there after checkout. Read this section to know how you do that: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› Thank-You Page Integration -> Optional Customizations[/hilite]

In your own thank-you page you’d tell them the things ClickBank requires you to, like how the charge is going to look like in their card statement, and how they can contact you for support. And then you’d say they should create the account, and provide a link to the registration page.

I hope that helps. :)

But if you’re using custom profile fields, or other s2Member features, they won’t be available while it isn’t active, for example.

So you want to remove all restrictions for a week, is that it? You could export the s2Member options and then remove the restrictions, when the week is up, import the s2member options back in. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Import/Export -› s2Member® Options[/hilite]

Test that first removing only one restriction, and see if you can restore it fine with the import. Do it with all the restrictions only after you verified the options export and import work fine in your installation.

And for extra security, I’d take a screenshot of the restrictions page with the panels expanded, or save the page into a file so you can copy from it to paste the restriction values back into the fields if you needed to restore them by hand.

I hope that helps. :)
