No problem. :)

If you’ve got any other questions make a new topic for it. :)

Hello Michael,

I would suggest you check under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Alternative View Protection and make sure the necessary settings are set for your needs.

Also if you just want to protect the entire website then you can just put a “/” (without the quotes) inside Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions.

OK, so I have two things for you to try:

First, make sure that you have a plugin like PHP Execution installed or something similar.

Next, when testing this do it from an account that isn’t an admin account, otherwise s2Member will just stop the payment for security measures.

Hello Carme,

Check this video for how download restrictions and other related stuff works: Video » s2Member (File Download Options)

When using advanced downloads you can use them alone without the specific post/page restrictions.

Hello Frestaura,

Glad to see you found the problem. :)
That means that one of those plugins or must-use plugins was causing a compatibility issue with s2Member. I suggest yo follow these common troubleshooting tips in order to find out exactly which plugin it was:

Hello Dan,

That’s strange, it’s actually impossible to restrict the homepage with s2member, except using URI restrictions (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions). Does this happen on a fresh install of WordPress and s2Member?

Well, to answer your question. Yes, you can have parts of your blog or website that are not restricted, in fact this is desirable, you just need to not protect those pages. :)

I see. I’m glad you were able to find the problem, let’s hope it’s easy to fix it as well. :)

Ah I see, I misshed that! If I help out with the code or have issues I’ll put it up there. :)

Hello there,

You would use %%user_ip%%, which would return the user’s IP during the payment.

Hello Michele,

You would place these s2Member conditional shortcodes in your membership options page, or the login welcome page, whichever you prefer. :)

– Eduan

I’m not sure if it’s related either, the fact that you use the PayPal sandbox.

I suggest you try not using the PayPal sandbox. Rather use a friend’s account or something like that to test the behavior the user will really have. In other words, don’t use PayPal sandbox, use real transactions.

Also I’m pretty sure it’s not possible to avoid this page if you’re using PayPal. Pretty sure PayPal puts it, not s2Member, however I’m not sure.

– Eduan

No problem, glad it’s going well. :)

I would suggest that you make a GitHub page for it, it allows for better issue management and better feature request management: https://github.com/

Coders will be able to help more freely if you do that. :)
