Could you please provide a link to where these PayPal buttons can be found? Just to see if I can spot a problem. :)

Could you explain more? How can this be achieved exactly? How can I know what contains the function that lists current posts? How does this happen with WP? I would imagine it would be in one of the theme files or within the database itself.
Once I find that- what exactly do I need to modify then?

The function that lists posts is not what you’l need to modify, let me re-phrase.

You’ll need to do a little MU plugin, I think, that will use s2Member content dripping.

The idea is that it does conditionals using content dripping to check if it was released within a certain date (in this case 15 or 20 days), if the post was released within those days (so the conditional equals true) then it will protect it with s2Member, toherwise it will deactivate any s2Member protection.

You can find the s2Member codex here: s2Member® » Codex (Source Code Docs)
You can find what you need to do with s2Member there. :)

So you enabled it and it stopped working? Did you try re-generating your buttons?

– Eduan

You will want to make a backup of your database. In case your settings do get lost, or in cacse something doesn’t go right. :)

There is still no ETA. We are expecting, emphasis on expecting, to have a beta version of the next generation of s2Member by mid July or so. Please understand this beta version will barely have any GUI at all.

So again, just like a little teaser, but I wouldn’t expect a full release this year yet.

Hello Julien,

What pages/posts did you restrict? Are those accessible to the public?

Are you testing this yourself or having other people help you? If you’re testing it yourself, have you made sure that you are logged out of the admin account?

so we want to be able to add 30 days of video content. the member would get one video per day.

after they view day one and go on to day two can day ones video be removed automatically so they will not be able to access it again?

Yes, this is possible. Again using content dripping (although with different conditions).

also can we use any theme we wish?

Yes, a well coded theme shouldn’t have any problems with s2Member, but not all themes are coded well, just take that in mind.

can we make it private membership? we have about 150 people that want to be members when we launch and then that would be the limit for us. but we don’t want people to sign up from a front door.

Yes, you would do this using specific post/page access restrictions (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Specific Post/Page Access Restrictions). You would offer the “private” access to these protected pages with the links you can generate under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Specific Post/Page Access Links.

You’re welcome. Glad you solved your problem Olly. :)

Hello there,

Well the best way to accomplish this would be with custom capabilities (ccaps for short).

You can watch a video about them: Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities)

There is a plugin for that, actually.

You can find it here:

And here’s it’s GitHub repo (in case you’re interested)

Hello there,

Could you please specify what changes the account can’t make? Just to give us a clue. :)

Also thanks for this post, makes my day. :)

No problem! Glad I was able to help. :)
