Well, if what causes the problem with s2Member, is the previous installation of s2Member you had then there’s a simple solution.

Simple deactivate deactivation safeguards (which you can find under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Deactivation Safeguards) and disable/uninstall s2Member. When you enable/install it again all it’s settings will be gone, and s2Member’s settings should be new from zero.

What error message did you get?

Could you try this code instead?:

add_action('template_redirect', 'my_custom_capabilities');
function my_custom_capabilities() {
	if(is_category('oranges') && !current_user_can('access_s2member_level1')) {
		header('Location: ' . S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL);
		exit();
	}
}

The code you provided was all messed up in several ways, I fixed it, so try this instead. ;)

Hello Denis,

OK, so first things first, UPDATE s2Member. It is currently in the version that was released in June 2012. The most current version was released the 20th of February of 2013.

Also make sure to update WordPress, you would want to update s2Member first though. ;)

After you update s2Member and WordPress, if the problems continue then please try these common trouble shooting tips: Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

While you’re at it, update all your plugins and maybe even your theme. ;)

Awesome Robin! Thanks for sharing!

I suppose as the updates go by, the latest version of the translation will be found there correct?

Also, the reason you put it in the /wp-content/plugins/ instead of s2Member’s own folder is so that the translation is not lost with the updates. :)

Hello Salar,

What steps did you take in all the process of installing WordPress and s2Member?

For it to be a “clean” install you have to do it from zero, new database is the most important part, and of course new files (WordPress itself, in other words).

Ah I see, that is what’s causing the problem. :)

You see, the login welcome page is protected, always, it’s always going to be protected at level 0, so that unregistered users can’t access it.

If what you want to achieve is for the user to be redirected to the homepage after login, then what you can do is under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Login Welcome Page you have to deselect the “Home” page from the drop-down, and put the URL of your website in the field below that, otherwise s2Member is gonna protect it. Does that make sense?

Hello Xigaogen,

I believe this is because this hack does not change code, but rather it changes text that’s been outputted to the user.

So it can’t change code, it can only change text that’s going to be outputted. Does that make sense?

I’ll forward this to Elizabeth so that she can send you an invoice. :)

I see. Well with all these changes maybe it’s not strange the form is not working anymore.

You can generate new forms under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms if that’s what you’re looking for. :)

Hello Minal,

Well, here is some stuff you could look at:

-captcha box apon creating membership

The pro version of s2Member comes with CAPTCHA integrated in it’s pro-forms.

– Using Twitter or Facebook sign on as an options for creating membership profile?.

I can’t really recommend anything for this. Users that have used this in the past have run across problems, so I can’t really recommend anything.

– Hyper link for Terms & Conditions?

Check this article for how to achieve that:
Knowledge Base » Force Terms & Conditions agreement

Hope this helps. :)

Ah I see. I’m afraid s2Member doesn’t offer this kind of integration. :/

Hello Michael,

Did you try the User Role Editor? Users haven’t reported errors with it.

However Jason recommends Capability Manager Enhanced. Really it’s your decision. ;)

Do you get errors with any of these two?
