Hello Ian,

Take the following button for example:

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" ... rp="3" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

Of course I shortened this, but notice the rp=”3″ attribute and the rt=”M” attribute.

The rp attribute specifies the period for the regular button, it’s what makes it a 3 months button, or a 2 months button etc.

The rt attribute specifies the time format that the rp attribute would use.
D = Days, W = Weeks, M = Months, Y = Years, L = Lifetime.

So basically, you would change the rp attribute to 6 and it would work for 6 months, or days etc.

Just make sure to modify your button according to this and you’re done. :)
Check under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes (Explained) for more info. ;)

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Mark,

The installation instructions for s2Member pro you can find here: s2Member® » Pro » Install/Upgrade Instructions

Basically, you download the pro version, and through FTP you upload it to your website, while still having the free version installed. Both versions have to be installed at the same time. :)

Hope this helps. :)

but the role that person is given is only a subscriber, which make them not able to access the restricted content. how do I get them to be assigned the role of s2level 4 automatically. so they can have access to the full website.

Could you please paste here the shortcode that you’re trying to use? It would really helpful to be able to find out the issue. :)

FYI when i checked paypal recuring for that transaction, it was there but I noticed that transaction did not have a account number and a expiration number like the rest of my other (members) transactions.

This is expected behavior, since s2Member doesn’t know when this subscription might end, only PayPal knows, and when it happens it notifies s2Member and s2Member demotes the user.

Another question i have is. If a user pays with pay pal how can they cancel there membership, I heard they have to go threw there own paypal account. but I really feel they should’nt have to that since they paid on my website, they should be given the chance to cancel there membership on my website. Anyways where is the area were paid members can cancel there account on paypal (those who paid with paypal). I paid with my paypal account to see if everything would work. I cant figure out how u can cancel Ive looked all around my paypal account. I need to know so members can know how to if they want to cancel. Please help I need answers for both questions. thanks

You can generate a button for this, check under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Subscr. Cancellation Buttons.

Again, in order to find out the issue we need you to give us the shortcode that you are using in your website.

We need you to give us a copy of the logs that you can find under wp-content/plugins/s2member-logs/, make sure you have logging enabled under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging.

Also, if you could follow these troubleshooting steps that would be great: Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Richard,

I think Bruce meant a must-use plugin, which is basically a hack, not an entire plugin.

I fixed the folder name in his post. :)

Ah I see. Glad you figured out. :)

Hello galtman,

I’m afraid I can’t offer any help myself on this regard, but it might be worthwhile to hire a freelancer to fix this compatibility issue for you. You can post a job at websites like jobs.wordpress.net or freelancer.com or elance.com.

The pro support of s2Member doesn’t offer this kind of service, so your best chance is hiring a freelancer. :)

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Ronnie,

I want to make a payment page with paypal checkout express.
I this page to give the user the option to buy membership A or membership B.

This can easily be achieved using s2Member’s PayPal buttons, which you can find under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons, however be sure to first configure PayPal under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details.

I also want to create a custom log-in page, which i can create a custom link to in my menu.

This is only possible using s2Member’s login widget, however currently there is no easy way to customize it. You can find the PHP version of the login widget under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Pro Login Widget (via PHP).

I am also trying to translate this whole thing into danish with a wordpress (using code styling localization plugin), but it does not translate everything. Now, i have some things that are danish, and other thing that are still english.

Currently you can only customize the front-end of s2Member using WordPress’ translation features. You will need to modify s2Member’s source files in order to translate it fully.

Also, where can I edit the css style s2member uses for payment pages?

Check this frequently asked question: Pre Sale FAQs » How can I prevent s2Member® Pro from loading it’s default CSS?

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Paul,

Could you please share the URL of your website, and the full shortcode that you’re using, within the <code></code> tags please. :)

We need these to be able to check if your shortcode was generated correctly. ;)

Thanks,
Eduan

Hello Bill,

This would suggest that something isn’t right with your website setup. Could you please confirm that you have the logs for these transactions? Make sure you have logging enabled under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging.

Next, could you please try these common trouble shooting tips: Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

That’s strange. I don’t have this issue, I’m also using the latest Chrome.

It may be possible it’s a plugin that you have install. Something along the lines of AutoPager for Firefox, but for Chrome.

I don’t have this behavior, so I’m not sure what the problem could be.

Hello Bear,

I would like to know how s2 handle some bot for guessing the password. Will it ban their ip?

How about member share their username and password? How can s2 track it?

This behavior would be controlled by the settings under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Brute Force IP/Login Restrictions and Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Unique IP Access Restrictions. You can check and configure the behavior there. :)

Can it protect the download files from another server(that’s my server as well but located in another ISP)?

I believe this is only possible if you’re using Amazon web services…

Can it protect the download files inside the post?

Yes, check these tutorials by Jason on file downloads:
Video » s2Member® File Downloads (Complete Series)

Does it work with ccbill?

Yes the pro version of s2Member is integrated with ccBill.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Matthew,

For that I think you would want to put a span around the button, and make it float left (or the side where you want it) so that the text can flow to the right of it. That’s if I remember my CSS names correctly. ;P
