The characters in italics ( 1%3A ) , I know the “1″ is always going to be there because that’s the user level…but what about the percent sign, the number 3 and the letter A….what are those?

That’s the colon encoded for the URL:
http://mydomain.com/success-thank-you/?cid=1:m5645&s2p-v=XXXX

s2Member doesn’t provide this functionality and I haven’t tried doing that yet, so I don’t know what you’d need. What I’d do first is search for a plugin that gives this functionality, then review if it adds a capability or role, and try customizing s2Member’s level role the user has based on that.

If you customize the s2Member role, you’ll need to know this: Knowledge Base » Locking s2Member Roles/Capabilities

Oh that’s great! I’m glad you sorted it out. Thanks for the update. :)

No problem. :)

It’s not sitting in junk. If you see my original post you will note that I have tried everything!

I was just checking to make sure, I know you’ve been trying all you could think of.

The thing is that if the log says it was sent, then s2Member did what it could to send it, using the WP function that sends the emails, and no errors happened. If the email didn’t get sent, though, then there’s something with the server, I guess.

But it’s also likely that it did go and it ended up trapped in a spam filter. One thing I recommend to do in order to avoid this, is writing your own custom Signup Confirmation Email template, unique to your site, so it’s not the same as the one from hundreds of other sites. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Signup Confirmation Email[/hilite]

What else could be wrong?

There may be a plugin messing with the normal behavior, too. Have you tried all suggestions in this article? Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

See if you can reproduce this problem in a clean WP installation, with default theme and just s2Member added, please.

There’s nothing new in this regard.

If you have to integrate with a new payment gateway, you can try creating the customization yourself (or someone working for you).

You may be able to use the PayPal IPN with a proxy key, or use the integrations in s2Member Pro as a guide for yours. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® IPN Integration -> Proxy Key[/hilite]

I think I understood what you want, but you’ll need a little bit of custom code to get it.

This function will help: http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/s2member/api_functions/package-functions/#src_doc_get_user_field%28%29

If that’s not enough, you may want to check the WordPress codex for another function you can use to get more info on the user.

If you need help writing this customization, you could post a job on a freelancers site to get some help form one. E.g.: jobs.wordpress, elance.com, odesk.com.

Okay.

I’ll ask Jason about that PayPal error, because I’m not sure what else is causing it.

Have you asked PayPal support about it?

Heh, don’t worry, I know how frustrating these things can be sometimes. :)

But if ClickBank says it’s having trouble, it’d be good to keep an eye on it. Leave logging enabled and monitor the entries daily for errors. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Log Files (Debug)[/hilite]

Are you getting the Signup Confirmation Email after a successful checkout and redirection to the thank-you page? [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› Signup Confirmation Email[/hilite]

I asked Jason about it and here’s what he said:

Jason Caldwell said:
This can happen when there is server replication going on.

For instance, if you FTP files to your hosting company, but your hosting company doesn’t actually use those files you upload; it copies them over to a CDN, or something like that. Sometimes a hosting company will use NFS (Network File Storage); where files are constantly replicated back to a centralized location.

There’s nothing we can do about this. Most hosting companies do NOT take five days on purpose, but I suppose that could happen if there were network issues or some other problem on the hosting side of things.

I’ve only used one hosting company where this was an issue. Rackspace Cloud Sites are known to experience this type of thing. It seems that Rackspace takes a little longer than usual for the files to make it back to the NFS after you upload them. Even then, it’s usually minutes (or hours at most); not days.

Possible solutions in the case of server replication:

If at first you don’t succeed (e.g. files are not recognized by WordPress®):
– Delete all of the files via FTP.
– Upload them again and wait 15 minutes.

If that doesn’t work, contact your hosting company about the issue.

Here’s what Jason replied:

A Pro Form changes its button dynamically, to either a PayPal Button or a regular Submit Button via JavaScript. So while it’s possible to edit the button HTML in a Pro Form Template, it get’s overwritten via JavaScript routines.

The best you can do is style the CSS for the button to your liking; and/or translate the the default text that s2Member uses.

This is not the case with Authorize.Net Pro Forms. You can change the button HTML in the template file and there is no JavaScript getting in the way in that case.

You’re right. I just tried the custom template and the changes I made to that tag weren’t reflected on the form, for some reason. I’ll ask Jason about it.

What did work was using the tag’s ID as the CSS selector to style it from the theme’s style.css:

[hilite pre_code]
#s2member-pro-paypal-sp-checkout-submit {
background-image: url('http://www.photigy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/submit-order-short.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: transparent;
height: 106px;
width: 320px;
border: none;
text-indent: -999em;
cursor: pointer;
}
[/hilite]

That’s right.
