We don’t give that service, but you can send the login info so I take a look? s2Member® » Private Contact Form

You can hire freelance developers in sites like jobs.wordpress.net, odesk.com or elance.com.

If you go to your Account page, you should find the link to upgrade, where you’ll just pay the difference in price. http://www.s2member.com/account/ ;)

s2Member doesn’t currently support Level restriction for independent access, which is what the custom capabilities are for, and it doesn’t support independent access with custom capabilities combined with incremental access as Level does. And that’s what you want to set up: separate courses with one access level that gives access to all. We’re working on improving this soon so it’s possible in a simpler way.

For now, if you use levels for your courses 2 and 3, then you’ll have this situation:

Let’s say course 2 is at level 2 and course 3 at level 3. Then the user with level 2 will have access to course 2, but course 3 will be above his access. The user at level 3, though, will have access to course 3 and also course 2, because course 2 is protected at level 2, which is still an access he has.

You can do a couple of things in this case:

Use conditionals to determine when to show the content of the course. In that case, even if the user can load the page, the content will or won’t be there based on your conditional.

Read example 3 in the Shortcode Conditionals documentation for conditions that match an exact level, please. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Simple/Shortcode Conditionals -> Example 3[/hilite]

The conditional using custom capabilities is what I explained in my previous reply.

The other thing you could do, instead of using the conditionals, is edit the s2Member role you’re selling the users so they don’t have access to every level below theirs. For this you’d use a plugin like User Role Editor. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/

You could have sell s2Member Level 3 for full access and leave that role untouched, so it’ll have access to content at Level 3 and below. But then have a couple lower roles, s2Member Levels 1 and 2 for courses 2 and 3 respectively. Edit each of those s2Member role to remove access to the other levels below it, then each user will have access just to content at its level.

If you need more levels you can add more following the instructions here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Membership Levels/Labels[/hilite]

Editing the user roles is a customization, and s2Member doesn’t behave that way by default, but it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out. Or just use conditionals as explained above and the documentation.

I hope that helps. :)

Frank, using a tool like Firebug you can easily see the IDs for the parts of the form, to use as selectors in your CSS. http://getfirebug.com

The form, if it looks weird, is probably being styled by the theme because one of the selectors it used matches something in the form. Use Firebug to inspect that and solve it.

I hope that helps. :)

Well, levels give incremental access, so the higher level gives access to content at that level and all level below it.

Then the one with access to everything should be the highest one. Level 0 would not have any premium access, since it’s the default for free users (free registration or demotion after end of paid access).

Now, you have two courses, 2 and 3, which seem to be separate. One with course 2 doesn’t get 3, and vice versa, right? In that case, if using Levels to protect those courses, the higher level will get access to the lower one and it wouldn’t work for you.

It’d probably be better to use custom capabilities for courses 2 and 3, but then this would exclude the full access for the higher level. You’d still need to use conditionals.

[hilite pre_code]
[[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_course2) OR current_user_can(access_s2member_everything)]
Show if user has access to everything or course 2.
[/s2If]]

I don’t know. The hook is still there. http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/source/s2member/includes/classes/profile-mods-in.inc.php/#src_doc_line_121

Do other emails from your blog go out fine?

Try removing the [hilite mono]$user->user_login[/hilite] part, see if that makes a difference.

Ken, to make the Level 2 button a buy-now instead of subscription one, change the [hilite mono]rr[/hilite] attribute to [hilite mono]BN[/hilite]: [hilite mono]rr="BN"[/hilite]. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes -> rr[/hilite]

rr=”1″ Recurring directive. Only valid w/ Membership Level Access and/or Independent Custom Capabilities. Possible values: 0 = non-recurring “Subscription” with possible Trial Period for free, or at a different Trial Amount; 1 = recurring “Subscription” with possible Trial Period for free, or at a different Trial Amount; BN = non-recurring “Buy Now” functionality, no Trial Period possible.

I hope that helps. :)

Cool. :)

Hmm… OK, I’m not sure what the problem is, but next thing I’d try is having the conditional in the Login Welcome page itself, with a JavaScript redirection. Something like:

[hilite pre_code]
[[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level0)]

[/s2If]]
[/hilite]
* I haven’t tested it, it’s an idea for you to explore. If it doesn’t work with the shortcodes, do it with a PHP conditional.

I hope it helps. :)

So you have a field that in the admin area is not set as required, but you changed it to required using JavaScript on the front? Did I understand correctly?

If you change the slug for that page to something else as a test, does it work then?

You should ask your webhost about their recommended configuration for that. They must know the best way to have WordPress set up in their environment. :)
