It does not do that by default. I’ve never had that issue with s2member and I’ve used it on multiple sites.

I would go through and de-activate your plugins 1 by 1 to see if one of them is causing the issue.

Dave

Yes that looks correct at first glance. You have a trial period for the greater amount for 1 month then the regular amount charged monthly.

If you put it in a page, view it and click the link, paypal should state those same periods and prices.

Dave

Let me go in reverse order.

If your custom fields are set to show in the profile, then yes, they can edit them when they view their profile either in the back-end (wp-admin) or in the stand-alone shortcode version provided by s2member.

#1
In order to make this work (easily) I suggest 3 things:

1. Set your s2member->general options -> member profile modifications -> redirect members away from default control panel… set this to NO.
2. Create a link in a menu somewhere that points them to http://yoursite.com/wp-admin. This is where they will be able to view and edit their profiles and create and edit pages (based on your settings)
3. Install the plugin called User Role Editor which can be found using the search function in wordpress plugins->new plugin.

This plugin will let you change (add / remove) specific capabilites like creating new posts or editing posts to an existing user group such as s2member_level1.

It’s pretty easy to set up.

Hope that helps.

So you create your paypal payment button under s2member->paypal buttons.
Then you copy the shortcode it generates when you make your button into your “registration page”.

I’m assuming you mean that you created a page called “registration.”

That page would typically be your “membership options” page as well (see s2member->general options -> membership options page.)

MAKE SURE THE PAGE YOU PUT YOUR BUTTON ON IS NOT PROTECTED BY S2MEMBER!

This happens fairly frequently to new users, that’s why it’s in all caps. lol

So, now when a user clicks on your register page, they should see your paypal button which will get the registration process rolling.

Make sense?

Dave

I think the issue is that with the standard way s2member does closed registrations.

Their steps are basically this:

1. user clicks on payment button to pay for service.
2. user pays for service and is redirected to the website registration page.
3. user registers and now has access.

So if you have a closed registration, you either have to stick with their default way of registering or you have to dig in and code your way around it using the hooks and your own registration form or manipulating the open registration process.

Hope that helps.

Dave

I believe you can hook into the EOT system and send a message yourself via this hook:

ws_plugin__s2member_during_auto_eot_system

The following link tells more about hooks and filters:

Dave

First thought, try removing the \”\’s in the current_user_can() function.

I don\’t see any quotes in the example given in s2member aip/scripting examples like this one:

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
//content here
[/s2If]

Hope that helps,

Dave

EDIT: I just copy/pasted your code in my version and it works fine (without the \”). I don\’t get any errors. It may be a corrupt file or something when you installed it. I suggest re-installing to see if that fixes the problem.

No, I only use the free version…

That\’s really weird…

I\’ll have to see if I can find some setting that turns it off cause it\’s always been on mine.

Your using the newest version of s2member?

Dave

Check out using the hook function to run this process during the registration when you have all the information.

My first suggestion would be this hook:

ws_plugin__s2member_after_configure_user_registration

This should run after all the normal s2member registration processing is done.

The following link is a good explanation about using hooks in wordpres/s2member:

Hope that helps!

Yes, s2member should generate the code to override the url saved in your paypal account for it\’s own purchases.

The shortcode will be in brackets [ shortcode info here…. ].

Dave

It looks like you started out right but are missing a couple steps…

1. Do you want open registration or closed? right now it’s closed so you won’t see the registration form. The typical set-up is to have the user pay, then they are re-directed to the s2member registration form. That is default. If you want to change that around, you need to buy the pro version or do some custom coding.

2. If you are going with default (closed registration) then you want to add your payment button(s) to your “register” page you created. You can generate those in the s2member paypal button settings then place the shortcode into your “register” page you created.

3. Once the user clicks the paypal button, s2member should take care of everything from there assuming you entered your paypal options settings correctly. see s2member -> paypal options section.

4. The login page in the menu is probably an issue with your theme. If you’re theme is trying to use specific menus that you have not created in the admin section, then it will pull all the pages and add them to the menu by default. That’s a WP thing not s2member. In fact, when you click on it, s2member is re-directing to the “register” page correctly. :)

Hope that helps…

Dave

Custom field data is stored in the wp_usermeta table under the meta_key “wp_s2member_custom_fields.”

You will see that that data is serialized.

Some other wp data like first name, last name, etc. is also stored in usermeta under different meta keys.

Dave

When someone is re-directed, there is a GET string in the url like this:

?_s2member_seeking[type]=page&_s2member_seeking[page]=55&_s2member_seeking[_uri]=L21lbWJlci1ob21l&_s2member_req[type]=level&_s2member_req[level]=0&_s2member_res[type]=sys&s2member_seeking=page-55&s2member_level_req=0

So, if you run a query on your page like:

if(isset($_GET['_s2member_seeking[type]'])){
//what you want to say in the ''.
echo '';
}

It should do what you want… I don’t know if this is an option with the s2member shortcodes, so if not, you can create your own shortcode in your theme’s functions.php file:

function redirected_user_message($atts, $content){	
	if(isset($_GET['_s2member_seeking[type]'])){
	return $content
	}
}

add_shortcode('redir-user-msg','redirected_user_message');

Then in your page or post just add this:

[redir-user-msg]
This is the message for redirected users.
[/redir-user-msg]

Again, s2member may have an option but I haven’t checked and don’t remember one off the top of my head.
