Your shortcode has some errors with the quotes:

[hilite pre_code]
[[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="YOUR BUSINESS ACCOUNT / description and pricing details here." ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www.smi-10k.com| ta="0" tp="1" tt="D" ra="1.50" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image=http://www.smi-10k.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/d1-1-730x1024.png output="button" /]]
[/hilite]

I fixed those for you:

[hilite pre_code]
[[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="YOUR BUSINESS ACCOUNT / description and pricing details here." ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www.smi-10k.com" ta="0" tp="1" tt="D" ra="1.50" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image="http://www.smi-10k.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/d1-1-730x1024.png" output="button" /]]

Sorry, I just saw your reply. Thanks for the info.

It looks like the hack works, it’s sending the data for those fields. What doesn’t seem to be happening is MailChimp saving it. I wonder if they changed something on their side since the hack was written.

I don’t have a MailChiimp account to test this with. I’ll ask Jason about it and let you know when I hear back from him.

Sorry I didn’t see your reply until now.

I couldn’t load the page, it’s just blank. You’re probably working on it. Let me know when I can take a look again, please.

If you’re having trouble with the s2Member Pro login widget, what I’d try is the troubleshooting advice in this article: Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

But I nee a more intermediary page that allows someone to either login or subscribe. And I want to be able to customize that page.

You’d use the Membership Options page for that, since it’s the one where the user is taken when he tries to open content he doesn’t have the access for. That is just a WP page that you choose for this redirection, and it can have any message you put in it. It can say that if he has an account to login to it and if he doesn’t then get one and explain the subsription and payment options. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SMp9DYL3nM

Right now it seems that s2Membver has taken over my WP login page and later I want to re-theme that page ass well.

seems that s2Member does not contain a facility to customize your user login page so you need to install the WP Plugin “Theme My Login”

The login page is still WP’s wp-login.php. s2Member does add an image, but you can customize it.

s2Member helps you customize things wp-login.php, which aren’t in a default WP. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Login Registration Design[/hilite]

That said, if you want to use regular WP pages for your registration and login, s2Member Pro does have a registration form and a login widget that you can use for that purpose. And there may be other plugins that let you achieve this too.

Theme My Login may let you do that too, but I’m not familiar with it. I do remember that some years ago it had a conflict with s2Member, but it may not be the case anymore. Just a heads up, since you’re trying that plugin.

Do I need to edit this code, i.e. replace $key with $blogurl, the custom field slug I am using?

It looks like you’d need to edit it if the field’s key is not [hilite mono]user_url[/hilite], then you’d need to change it to the correct meta key.

This would just filter the value but not actually update the WP blog_url field?

That seems correct. The hack doesn’t seem to update anything in the database, and also, the meta key used is [hilite mono]user_url[/hilite], not [hilite mono]blog_url[/hilite].

Thank you! We really appreciate it. :D

As a form of thanks, I gave you the “Supporter” badge and a discount for your next upgrade. :)

Great! Glad I could help. :)

Thanks for the kudos, John. :)

You can do most of that with s2Member Pro, because it has the login widget and the pro-forms.

Knowledge Base » s2Member® Login Widgets
Knowledge Base » s2Member® Pro Forms

The lost password, though, still goes to the default WP page for it.

You can also customize the default page a bit with s2Member. See [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Login Registration Design[/hilite]

That’s what can be done with s2Member’s help, but if what you want is move the wp-login.php file to a page themed as the rest of the site, you’ll need to Google a hack for it.

I hope that helps!

Something seems to be wrong with your shortcode or its parsing. Could you post here the shortcode you’re using?

If the shortcode is okay, then I’d suspect the parsing is being affected by the theme or another plugin. Please follow the suggestions in this article: Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

Well, when you create the pro-form shortcode, you’d have the initial term set to 90 days at the regular price.

Then create a coupon that’d get the initial term discounted to $1. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Pro Coupon Codes -› Coupon Code Configuration File[/hilite]

In your coupons box, you’d add something like:

YOURCOUPONCODE|1.00||ta-only

Yeah, check with PayPal, this is something on their side. When you were using the PayPal buttons, the service you were using is PayPal Standard, but the pro-forms integrate with the Express Checkout or PayPal Pro services. It’s very likely that the latter behave differently than the former.

One thing you could do, also, is setup an s2Member Payment Notification so it emails you each time s2Member gets notified by PayPal of a payment. See: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Notifications -› Payment Notifications[/hilite]

:)

Melinda, this sounds like a question for the BuddyPress guys. http://buddypress.org :)

Additionaly, I only want to allow the first 30 people to use this coupon code.

This is not included in the coupons system yet, so you’d either have to customize your pro-form page a bit so it keeps count of the coupon uses and disabled the coupon field after the 30th. Or you can monitor it yourself and disable it manually.

I am trying to create a coupon that will allow people to get a 90 day subscription for $1. After 90 days they revert to the regular price.

You can do that if you use the initial term for the subscription. The coupons system lets you apply the discount to just the initial term, leaving the regular ones at their normal price. :)
