Kath, I know you’ve been working with us to solve this, but from the tests I did when you sent me the login info, the problem wasn’t with s2Member. The two test purchases I did worked, the problem was with WordPress sending the emails.

When I registered with the Gmail account, I did get them, when I used the Ymail account I didn’t. And these emails I didn’t get weren’t just s2Member’s confirmation email, but the WordPress new user email as well as the lost password one, the latter not touched at all by s2Member. This does look like a problem with your server, not a fault with our software.

You can send your refund request via contact form to Jason to review, but I do think you should fix the email issue you’re having, since it’ll keep giving you trouble.

Have you already deactivated other plugins and tried the registration again? Maybe it’s another plugin causing this problem. I don’t remember if you already did this test.

As to why your site would stop working when you removed s2Member, I don’t know. I’ve uninstalled the plugin many times and never had that issue. How did you remove it?

Funny. I replied to the training email address you emailed me from. Maybe it went to your spam folder?

I don’t have an exact date, I’m sorry. I could guesstimate, but last time I did that I was off and I rather not make that mistake again. It’s coming and Jason is mostly just working on that alone, so progress is being made fast. When we have a more definite release date, we’ll make it known. Thanks for your patience! :)

Let me see if I understand: You want to use a Specific Post restriction but still let people view part of that post? In that case it can’t be done, because the Specific Post protects access to the whole post.

You can use a conditional that checks the user’s level or custom capabilities to display parts of a post, but the post itself is not protected, which is why someone not logged in can even load the page. In the case of Specific Post restriction the page won’t even load for someone that isn’t access it it with the special URL s2Member generated for him.

I hope that helps.

Good. :)

Peggy, I removed the info you posted from your file. It contained login and other private info that shouldn’t be public. I saw this after a few hours of you posting it, so I recommend you change those values as soon as possible to avoid a security problem.

Once you’ve updated all the login info, could you send it to me privately using the contact form so I take a look at the problem? s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Thanks!

s2Member is currently undergoing a rewrite to make it more powerful at a fundamental level, but we are also working from a master to-do list, and this is on it. In the mean time, it’s possible to reset the counters via PHP, by deleting the meta key.

s2Member will regenerate this automatically upon their next download.

Joseph, you can use the S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL constant. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› PHP/API Constants[/hilite] :)

Oh, ok. Yeah, that’s what I understood and I replied to first, but then I got confused by your next post and that’s why I asked for more details.

Like I said, the upgrade pro-form doesn’t include custom profile fields, it’s just a checkout form. The signup pro-form, on the other hand, is checkout but also registration, which is why it includes the profile fields.

But I took note of your request and I’m adding it to the features list to add to s2Member. Hopefully it’ll make it into a future release soon. :)

Yeah, the one you called VIP. Sorry, I should have checked back to see what you had named it when I referred to it.

About the site going blank, you probably had a PHP syntax error in the code, or left a space or new line outside the PHP tags. It’s a good idea to make a copy of the file before editing it, so you can put it back the way it was quickly if needed.

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks Cassel! You do have a wonderful site. :)

David, I’m glad her example helped you. To see the product, the best thing is installing it and poke around the admin pages for it. There’s the free version, which is feature rich, and will help you understand it. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/

The thing I loved best about s2Member when I first joined Jason was that the source code wasn’t locked. As a non-coder you may not see the advantage, but as a business owner it does make a difference. If there’s something you want to have the plugin do in a more customized way, you can do it because the code is there for you, not all encrypted and unalterable. You can get a coder and add this, or change that, to your needs. This is huge to save money in development, because you don’t need to invent a new solution to do just what you need, you start from a solid product and just tweak a bit.

The support we give is quite good, even if I say so myself, and the community of users is quite friendly and helpful, Cassel being an excellent example.

We do listen to our customers, and we improve the product as quickly as we can. Fixes are very quick in case something is wrong, although there’s little of that to worry about. Our product updates are quite frequent, which gives some peace of mind. We’re now rewriting the whole thing at a quick pace, implementing tons of feature requests and improvements from users like you, and this is coming out soon (although a little later than we had optimistically hoped for heh), Jason is working full-steam on that.

You’re right, we haven’t been really selling s2Member, we should do a better job with that, but s2Member has been selling itself quite well too. That’s why I encourage you to install the free version and take it for a spin.

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks, I received it.

I tried logging in to the WP dashboard and got this error message:

503: Service Temporarily Unavailable

Please contact Support if you need assistance.

Could you please apply this hack to get around it for now? http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15784#p52446

Thanks!

Thanks so much for the kudos, Peggy, you’re very nice. We’re glad you like s2Member and we’ll keep working to make it even better. :)

About adding more levels, if that’s what you plan to do, then it may be best to set the “all access” level as high as you can, so the new levels are all below it and you don’t need to move users with that access to a new higher level soon.
