Hello Nicole,

Could you please explain a little bit more of what you need? I’m afraid I don’t understand. :/

You want to give users like a free trial and after that expires they have to pay to continue having access?

Hello Ama,

I’m not sure myself, however you can try using subscription modification buttons, which you can find under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Subscr. Modification Buttons.

I believe they should allow you to change the subscription that the user has. But only as long as it’s a recurring payments membership. :)

Hello Andy,

Who is everyone? All your users around the country? Your house? Could you please be more specific so that we are able to provide with help? Thanks!

Hello Matthew,

I’m sorry I can’t provide any help with iDevAffiliate. The only real thing I can suggest is that you try re-setting up iDevAffiliate with s2Member, following the instructions in is article:
Knowledge Base » iDevAffiliate® (s2 Commission Tracking)

Hello James,

This is most probably caused by the setting under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Unique IP Access Restrictions, what are the settings there?

Hello Kim,

The membership options page is not setup with a shortcode, it’s setup like any other page. :)

Perhaps you mean the PayPal button shortcodes? YOu can find them under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons.

Hello Eric,

s2Member can certainly do this.

can I use s2member to do this? like make a page -they pay -then they make it to the next page where they can post. so its sort of like blocking content but not really…. just blocking a page where they can post.

This is very easy to accomplish. You would just have the user pay for level 1 access and the page that allows the user to post would be protected at level 1.

it would be a one time fee each time.

However at this point it’s no longer possible without delving into some code. :/

Hello Kensei,

Could you please check the setting under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Open Registration? What is it set to?

Here’s what he answered:

This is NOT a finished piece of work, but it demonstrates how you might accomplish this with s2Member®.

Please create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php
(NOTE: these are MUST USE plugins, see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins)
(See also: http://www.s2member.com/kb/hacking-s2member/)

<?php
add_filter('ws_plugin__s2member_custom_fields_configured_at_level', 's2_limit_custom_fields_further', 10, 2);
function s2_limit_custom_fields_further($fields, $vars)
    {
        if($vars['_editable_context'] !== 'profile' || current_user_can('edit_users'))
            return $fields; // Do NOT filter them any further in this case.

        // Else let's look at each field ID and Custom Capabilities.

        foreach($fields as $_key => $field_id)
            {
                switch($field_id)
                    {
                        case 'my_unique_field_id':
                            if(!current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_music'))
                                unset($fields[$_key]);
                            break;

                        case 'another_unique_field_id':
                            if(!current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_videos'))
                                unset($fields[$_key]);
                            break;

                        default:
                            break; // Allow the field to be edited.
                    }
            }
        return $fields;
    }

Glad you found the problem Manouille. :)

I don’t think your database collapsed. They wouldn’t cause this sort of problem I think. However having a test installation should be helpful. Could you create a clean install and see if the problem is there?

Could you please also share an image so that I can get an image of your problem? Thanks!

– Eduan

Glad you found the problem. :)
And thanks for the suggestion. ;)

I see… If it doesn’t provide any errors then it’s impossible for me to provide any help. :/

Hope they find the source of the problem. :)
