s2Member doesn’t store billing info, that’s done by the payment gateway.

Or are you using s2Member’s custom profile fields? I’m afraid those aren’t integrated with other plugins like bbPress or WooCommerce. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields[/hilite]

The parser test tool says: “Paste the full text of an email below, including full headers.”

When you copy the email copy you got, don’t just copy the body. Most email clients have an option to view the full/original text including headers. In Gmail, for example, the menu from the top-right corner has “show original”. Try that when testing the parser.

In AWeber, I think the user has to confirm the subscription before he’s shown in the list.

There’s also the 12 hour rule they have, where they won’t send additional confirmation messages before that. https://help.aweber.com/entries/21681442

And did you verify that the Reverse DNS record is not the problem? Without it your “add” emails will be blocked as spam by Aweber and names will not be added to your list. http://www.s2member.com/kb/debugging-the-aweber-integration/

Let me know if that helps.

When using s2member buttons or paypal sandbox everything works just fine but not when I use the third party server.

By third party server, do you mean another payment gateway you’re integrating with s2Member using the PayPal IPN w/ Proxy Key?

I get the message “Ignoring this IPN request. The `txn_type/status` does NOT require any action on the part of s2Member.’”

I read that log entry and the [hilite mono]txn_type[/hilite] is missing. Maybe that’s the problem? I see [hilite mono]TRANSACTIONTYPE[/hilite], but that’s not the var s2Member expects for it.

By the way, these forums are public, you should edit your log entries to remove private information (e.g. email addresses, s2member_paypal_proxy_verification).

No, your logic seems fine.

So you’re selling the ccap together with the level. But you see, you had to sell the level to do it as a subscription. When I said ccaps could only be buy-nows, I meant if sold independent of the level.

But instead of adding that ccap to the level to check if he has the ccap to see if he has that level, you could just check for the level in your conditional.

[hilite pre_code]
current_user_can("access_s2member_level1")
[/hilite]

The custom image should not be a problem…

I see another difference between the two shortcodes: the description.

Could you try the description from the button that works, in the one that doesn’t (the one with the custom image) to see if it makes a difference?

Thanks.

I found the entry and it doesn’t show any errors. It even says that the confirmation email was sent to the person:

5 => ‘Signup Confirmation Email sent to: “Dr. S**** K*****” <*********@yahoo.com>.’,

You said

the person paid through paypal for membership – but we did not receive a wordpress notice and she did not appear in the s2 database…..

Did the person register? Remember that going through the checkout doesn’t register the account automatically. The person then has to go create his account in your site after paying.

Or you could use the pro-form which will register the user right before doing the checkout over at PayPal. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Membership Level # Forms[/hilite]

Great. :)

Great. :)

‘tag_id=xxxxx’ is associated with the user… I’ve dug into this… and when I go to the member user history, it shows all the posts that are associated with that member, when I click on the “number of posts” it expands and shows all posts… so the question #10 “seems” like it would be possible… see below.

You’re right if he’s the author. When I replied I had not understood that was the case, sorry.

2) Registered Members — are assigned Author Role and when they create a Post — they are still a S2 Level 0

the s2Member Level is also a role, so he’ll either be Level 0 or Author, can’t be two roles.

Instead of the Author role, what you could try is give him the capabilities that’d make him an author but his role would be Level 0. Knowledge Base » Changing Roles/Capabilities via PHP

Or, if all level 0 users will be able to post, then edit the level 0 role to include the capabilities that make him an author.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/
Knowledge Base » Locking s2Member Roles/Capabilities

Remember that those capabilities will give him access to areas of the admin side, so make sure you test what he gets and hack accordingly to manage that access correctly.

6) The Transfer of information to PayPal includes the usual information but ALSO includes the Post_ID#

You can use the custom values. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes -> custom[/hilite]

Or, probably better, a custom capability. Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities)

FYI I have the plugin disabled as I got a call from our editor saying all the authors couldnt’ log in today. It was saying user attempted too many times and they were blocked for 30 minutes. I turned off the plugin and they could all login. So another issue. but I couldnt’ even try to fix it because all the admin areas was borked.

That may have been the Brute Force protection, or maybe the Unique IPs one.
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Brute Force IP/Login Restrictions[/hilite]
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Unique IP Access Restrictions[/hilite]

Are the authors all sharing the same account or did they all forget their passwords and were trying to login guessing it? :)

And yes per my first note I tried all the steps of changing theme, plugins etc.

I see you have 31 plugins active, did you deactivate them all in your tests? If you can’t do that in that installation, you can create a separate WP installation with just s2Member for your test and then add the other plugins one by one, checking after each if it causes the problem.

By the way, I noticed that you have W3 Total Cache, make sure you don’t enable database or object caching, they’re known to cause trouble.

Is there any documentation on using the PayPal IPN with Proxy Key?

The one there: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® IPN -> IPN w/ Proxy Key[/hilite]

I looked into the gateway files in s2member pro but it seems that any solution i would create would not be update proof in the future?

What do you mean update proof? That it won’t be overwritten by an s2Member update? Try putting your files in the must-use plugins directory. /wp-content/mu-plugins/

Isn’t there some sort of API that i can use to create users and extend their subscription period?

To create a user there’s the Remote Operations API, but it doesn’t do user updates. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Remote Operations API[/hilite]

You could probably create your own API hack to then use the WP and s2Member functions for that. These may help:

Hi Gary.

Could you try these? Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

If you can’t find the problem with those, please submit your site’s info so I can take a look. Let me if you send it. s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Hi Simon.

I’d like to take a look at this to see why it may not be working.

Could you submit your site’s info? Including the name of the file and the page you’re testing this in. Let me know when you sent it. Thanks! s2Member® » Private Contact Form
