I see. That’s strange.

Could you try a two word description as a test? I’d like to see if that makes a difference. If it works fine, then add one word at a time until the problem happens again and we may guess what’s causing it.

Another test you could do is deactivating other plugins, one by one, and reloading the page with the buttons to try them again. There may be a problem with the shortcode parsing. Another test would be using the default theme. These would only be to identify where the problem is so we can look at solving it.

Please let me know how it goes. :)

Do you mean the account creation? Well, if you don’t let the user pick his password and instead have WP generate it, he’ll have to open the email to get the password in order to login. This would be a kind of double opt-in. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields -> Allow Custom Passwords[/hilite]

You can also customize the New User email with s2Member. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Email Configuration -> New User[/hilite]

I hope that helps.

The Clerk and Dev API keys: login to your ClickBank account, go to Account Settings and you’ll see the panels for them at the bottom.

For the Clerk one, click the “edit” link, in the next page click the green “create new” button. In the next page enter a description, check the checkbox for read access and click “save”. Then you’ll get the API key, copy it complete, including the “API-” prefix and paste it in your s2Member field for it. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› Account Details[/hilite]

For the Dev API, click the “edit” link, in the next page click the green “create new” button. In the next page enter a description and click “save”. Then you’ll get the API key, copy it complete, including the “DEV-” prefix and paste it in your s2Member field for it. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› Account Details[/hilite]

About the secret key, from the CB docs:

Secret Key: A secret key is used while performing encryption and decryption activities in a process called Cipher. The secret key is utilized in two specific features related to your ClickBank account, the Link Security Script service and the Instant Notification service. You can enter a secret key on the My Site page of your ClickBank account. The secret key can be up to 16 letters or digits, and must be in ALL CAPS.

Go to Account Settings and then click the sub menu’s link to My Site, you’ll find the Secret Key is under the Advanced Tools section. Click the “edit” link for it and enter your key in the field provided, click the “request access” link below it for the IPN. Review the data the provide, change all the answers to “yes”, read the terms box, check the agreement box at the bottom and click the “save” button. Then copy the secret key you entered and paste it in your s2Member field for it. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› IPN Integration[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

That’s odd. Could you post the URL to the page where you’re testing it?

If you’re using the free registration pro-form, you can just enter fake values in the PayPal integration fields and that’ll remove the error. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options[/hilite] ;)

hahaha :)

Maryke, if you have a way to populate the Gravity Form in the front instead of the admin side, then you can get the user’s info using s2Member’s constants, for example. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› PHP/API Constants[/hilite]

You’re welcome. Glad I could help. :)

What about all the other areas under Clickbank Options in S2Member. Do I need to fill those out, like IPN v2.1 Integration, etc?

Right, you’ll need the IPN one filled out as well. And I suggest you read and customize (as needed) the other panels in the ClickBank Options page, except for the Specific Post/Page Confirmation Email one, since you won’t be selling those.

The panels have the instructions you need for the integration with s2Member. ClickBank itself needs you to fill out some extra things on their side, besides the values that s2Member gives you, though, like that pitch page and I don’t remember if there’s something else.

There will be a step in ClickBank that says something about needing you to have/be someone experienced to integrate with ClickBank, or something like that: just go ahead, since Jason coded the integration in s2Member, so you did have someone qualified do it.

So when someone buys my course through clickbank I need the following to happen:
1. They are taken to a “thank you” page on my site.
2. This thank you page will be the page where they create their S2Member account
3. Once they create their S2Member account, they will be able to login.
4. As soon as they create their login, they will automatically be added to my aweber “purchasers” list
5. The first page they log in to will be the page that offers the download link.

1. You can customize this page following the instructions here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› Thank-You Page Integration[/hilite]

2. You could use a regisrtation pro-form in your custom thank-you page, but then anyone with the URL to that page would be able to register an account. So it’ll have to be a two-step thing: first the thank-you page with the stuff ClickBank requires you have in it, and and link that says “click here to register your account” or similar, pointing to the registration page [hilite mono]/wp-login.php?action=register[/hilite]

3. Right. To make sure no one can register without having paid, make sure you disable free registrations. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Open Registration[/hilite]

4. You’d integrate that from here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› AWeber®[/hilite]

5. Create the download page and set it as your Login Welcome page here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Login Welcome Page[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

s2Member doesn’t give the publish_posts capability capability to any role. Did you customize this with a role editor?

It’s possible that your customization is causing that author page to be created? s2Member doesn’t create pages for users.

Those are optional, just use them if you need to. You will set your access up with Levels, not Custom Capabilities, so the latter’s notification won’t be needed. :)

Hi Rob.

No, s2Member doesn’t have a directory yet. You can try other plugins for this, although most don’t have an easy time with the custom profile fields as they are now.

We’re working on improving the profile fields, as well as having a members directory. Not there yet, but we’re working on them.
