Hello Lyndsey,

This only happens because you update the free version, but you don’t immediately update the pro version.

When an update is available for s2Member, the dashboard will tell you so, so you go and update the free version automatically with WordPress. This updates the free version, the framework.

But then you need to update the pro version, this can be done manually, following these instructions: s2Member® » Pro » Install/Upgrade Instructions
Or it can be done automatically from within s2Member’s dashboard, just go to any s2Member setting and it will tell you to update, asking your credentials etc.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Peter,

No this hasn’t been integrated with s2Member yet, at least not publicly.

Although, really, I think using s2Member conditionals is just gonna be easier instead of implementing another plugin.

Besides with PHP conditionals you can practically do any conditional that’s valid PHP syntax. :)

Hello Selene,

Thanks for all this useful info! Very useful, I’m compiling this into my list of incompatible plugins. :)

So just to confirm…

There are incompatibilities with the “Password Protected” plugin, correct? What are the problems caused by this plugin?

And with the “WordPress MU Domain Mapping” plugin. What exactly does it accomplish? And what are the problems that come with it? Why do you need it in other words?

Thanks!

What happens when you use a normal s2Member button? In other words, the shortcode button?

That’s better. :)

Although honestly, I’m personally not able to provide much help. :P
I just said it so that if somebody can help then they can read the code clearly. :)

Hello Peter,

Can you be absolutely sure that the account you’re trying to use to access those pages/URLs is an admin account?

s2Member will never block anything to the admin user, so this means either the user you’re logging in as is not an admin or your WordPress installation became corrupted somehow.

Also, what do you mean with “WP-Protection”? s2Member has nothing by that name.

Hello Vincent,

While I’m not aware of anybody doing this, I’m sure it’s possible somehow.

However, the best help I can provide is pointing you to the s2Member codex: s2Member® » Codex (Source Code Docs)

Hello Karl,

I’m not sure how to fix this I’m afraid. :/

Did you follow the trouble shooting tips? They might solve the problem. Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

Also, I would make sure that your PayPal integration is correct, cause that might be what’s causing the errors. :)

Bor,

Could you please try all of these common trouble shooting tips: Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

If none of them solve it, could you please post the real URL of your website and the button you’re using (with no modifications).

Thanks!

Hello Cameron,

Currently this is not possible with s2Member. However there is a workaround.

You can have the members register for free at level 0, that would be their form per say.

Then if you approve the user then you can just upgrade the user to level 1.

And you can just protect all your content to level 1 so that your users need to be “approved” before they can access it.

Hello Travis,

Please check this article: Knowledge Base » PayPal® Services / A Quick Comparison

It states that as long as you have a PayPal standard account with ERP (Enhanced Recurring Payments) your users do not need to have a PayPal account in order to have recurring payments.

Can you confirm that your PayPal account has ERP?

Does this answer your question?

Ah, forgot about that part. :)

In that case they only need to be registered before hand, not necessarily as paid members. So you can have them register for a free account.

Since you don’t have the pro version of s2Member you need to make sure that open registration is open under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Open Registration.

Next, in your membership options page you would have a link for them to register for free, the URL they would use would be http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-login.php?action=register. Of course you would change the domain name to yours. :)

Next, in the login welcome page you would have something like this:

[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level0)]
You would put a registration link here, pointing to the same page as the one that points to the membership options page.
[/s2If]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level0) AND !current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_name_of_your_ccap)]
Put your buy now button for the custom capabilities here.
[/s2If]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level0) AND current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_name_of_your_ccap)]
Put your content for members that already for the ccap.
[/s2If]

In a nutshell, what this does is show the free registration link to users that aren’t registered. It shows the buy now button for users that are registered but haven’t bought the access. And it shows the access content for users that have bought the access.

You can experiment with custom capabilities and s2Member conditionals to attain more specific results if you want. Check this article for a little bit more info: Knowledge Base » s2Member® Conditionals

And check under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Simple/Shortcode Conditionals for all the documentation on simple shortcode conditionals. :)

Then something is definitely interfering with s2Member blocking those posts.

So, first things first, could you make absolutely sure that you have set a membership options page under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Membership Options Page. If that settings isn’t set then s2Member won’t block any content.

If that doesn’t fix it, or there was nothing to fix, you think you could check these common trouble shooting tips: Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

Hello Daniel,

That’s certainly possible to setup. Take this button here and then add your own JavaScript so that it doesn’t let the button click go through, until the user pays over that amount.

Hello there,

So basically you want to make it so that the users who have a membership using levels can’t see the content for levels below itself? Is that correct?

In that case, you can achieve this using s2Member conditionals: Knowledge Base » s2Member® Conditionals

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks for the tip(s) Martin.

I believe they expire only for precaution, security in other words. :)

Hello Andy,

Let me clear something up. The login/registration page that s2Member uses is exactly the same one WordPress uses. If you have the pro version you can have the register page anywhere however. But you can’t change the location of the login page (unless you’re using the s2Member pro login widget).

Now, if your current theme provides a login template then it will work fine with s2Member as long as it works fine with WordPress.

Hope this answers your question. :)
