That’s a WP Super Cache option, if it doesn’t have it then it’s OK.

Could you please repeat what your problem is? Cause I’m a little lost. thanks. :)

Hello Joyce,

If you don’t have the pro version you can’t have a login in the widgets section.

Also, there is a login page already in a page:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-login.php

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Derek,

Have you checked under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Alternative View Protection?

Hope this helps. :)

Actually, changing the subscription in PayPal wouldn’t work, it has to be specially integrated with s2Member, you could offer them modification buttons, which would allow them to upgrade to a higher level when they want, you can find them under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Subscr. Modification Buttons.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Faith,

You can accomplish this with s2Member pro-forms, only available on the pro version of s2Member.

You can check this article for more information about pro-forms:
Knowledge Base » s2Member® Pro-Forms

Hope this helps. :)

I’m afraid I haven’t worked with any event managers in the past so I can’t recommend any. :/

I’m sure Raam, Jason or Cristián are gonna read this, so I’m sure your feature request will be taken into account. ;)

Hello Jason,

Well this functionality is certainly not something of too many lines, but it isn’t something simple either. It would simply be some conditions that output a different button shortcodes depending on the amount of time that’s left.

You could update the buttons every day, week or month, probably the best would be each month.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Rob,

Well first I would deactivate object caching I believe it’s called, that is known to cause errors with WordPress.

Hello Tiffany,

Have you tried using the success=”” attribute in your shortcode?

You can find the documentation for it under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes (Explained). It’s only available in the pro version of s2Member though.

success=”” Success Return URL ( optional ). s2Member handles this automatically for you. However, if you would prefer to take control over the landing page after checkout ( i.e. your own custom Thank-You Page ), you can. If supplied, this must be a full URL, starting with http://. Note, s2Member will NOT use this value if an existing account holder is being modified. s2Member handles account updates ( i.e. billing modification ) in a more dynamic way. Your Success Return URL is only applied to (new) Customers.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Alex,

I’m pretty sure this is not possible with s2Member with a visual interface or within s2Member, although you are able to generate a script that goes through each user and changes his level for you.

Hope this helps. :)

I’m sorry Soporose, I believe I submitted an answer for this, don’t know why it doesn’t show.

Anyway, there is this which you ask, you can use s2Member conditionals, once again, check this article about them:
Knowledge Base » s2Member® Conditionals

For what you need, if you want to put them inside a post, you would simply use shortcode conditionals, if you’re using it in the code of your website you would use PHP conditionals.

Does this help?

Hello Jason,

Here are my answers below:

I wondered if there was a complete tutorial / video specifically on the recommended set-up for registration in s2members –

Not really, you can check all of the videos and there you have it, but not just 1 video will explain it to you.

I would like people to register for free as a “registered user” of the site

This is perfectly simple, you would simply use the http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-login.php?action=register URL, or the free registration pro-form, which you can find under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms.

I would like people to be able to register for paid membership levels with incremental access (i.e. student, teacher, school, club owner, franchise), have multiple credentials, as well as register for approval of other membership credentials, such as certifications, competitive versus recreational,

I believe you could achieve this using levels and ccaps, or only ccaps, but in any way you would need an advanced usage of ccaps and some coding done for this (for the approval of other memberships etc.).

the most important memberships for me right now are one year – january to dec 31, (although after october a member can register until the next dec 31st)

This is possible, but in a manual way, s2Member doesn’t currently have a way of calculating the amount of days the user should be registered to only be a member until December 31, this would have to be custom coded.

I like the paypal pro login widget

Good, you can check this article if you need more info about it: Knowledge Base » s2Member® Login Widgets

I would prefer to use a free version of paypal.

Please check this frequently asked question: Pre Sale FAQs » To use s2Member® Pro Forms, will I have to use PayPal® Pro?. Please also make sure to check this article: Knowledge Base » PayPal® Services / A Quick Comparison

I am a bit confused – does a free member register and then get membership options page or do they see that first, does a person paying for membership, pay first and then fill out personal info, do i use paypal pro forms at all if i am using a free payapal business account,

The membership options page is where users go when they tried to access content they didn’t have permission for, so of course they see it before they pay, unless as soon as they visit the website they pay. ;) Although most probably, the best way to go is to put your PayPal buttons here, in the membership options page.

If they use PayPal buttons, they pay the membership, then fill-out the info, if you use PayPal pro-forms then they fill-out the info and pay almost at the same time. Please check this article for more info about what PayPal version you need: Knowledge Base » PayPal® Services / A Quick Comparison

of most concern is the flow – visitor arrives at site – option to register for site for free – comments etc allowed,
would i create a page with a button for reach type of membership as each requires a different set of extra questions, or membership options page with many buttons that return you to proper form to fill out (although i think maybe filling out the form first is best? i.e. someone registers that needs to be of a certain age – if they pay first and enter birthdate later -= manual correction?)

You would probably be most interested in s2Member conditionals for this, you can find an article about them here: Knowledge Base » s2Member® Conditionals. For the age checking script, I’m afraid this would have to be coded in, check under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields in order to add this field.

Hope this helps. :)

I’m pretty sure there is no other way, sorry. :/

Make sure to use PHP conditionals btw, otherwise it won’t work. ;)

Hello there,

Yes you can simply remove all those IDs and they will no longer be protected, just make sure to protect them with the ccap or level you want. ;)

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Teresa,

You simply go under WP Admin -> Appearance -> Themes and there you can change your theme, the default theme is the TwentyEleven theme.

Hope this helps. :)

That doesn’t seem like a normal login, the URL I mean, could you please try changing your theme to the default one and see if it works?

I didn’t find any caching plugins.

Did you make sure to save your settings? And then refresh the login page?

Hello Teresa,

That’s not a caching plugin, that’s a CAPTCHA plugin.

If you want, you can give me a list of your plugins and see if I find any caching plugin among those.

Hope this helps. :)

Try this shortcode instead:

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="Non-Recurring (one-time payment): Regular Farm or Individual, Small Non-Profit (1 year, $50)" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="EXAMPLE.org" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="50.00" rp="1" rt="Y" rr="BN" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

The shortcode implied it was a non-buy now button. I changed that, please tell me how ti goes. ;)
