Hello Mike,

So in other words, you’re moving your hosting, you’re moving from one server to another no?

Nothing else is going to change?

Now I need to figure out how to create the member pages which will be pretty basic for all members and link it from their Account Page. Any suggestions?

OK, simple enough… For this you can use an s2Member shortcode, which you can find under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Member Profile Modifications.

However this only allows the user to see his own account info, not another’s user.

Do you want the user to be able to see other users’ profiles?

Glad I was able to help Mary. :)

Hello Elliot,

Yeah I see what you mean, however that’s a pro version feature. :)

Check under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Subscr. Modification Buttons to generate modification buttons, this is if you are offering PayPal subscriptions.

If you’re using buy-now buttons just offer the user a higher level’s button, a normal one. :)

You would put the ccaps that you want to offer in the ccaps attribute as usual. :)

Hello Stewart,

Well for the free content that requires no registration at all you just don’t do anything to that page with s2Member. If you don’t protect it at all anyone can access it. :)

Does that answer your question?

Hello Pam,

Well, s2Member does not offer any role management to be honest. It just adds his own roles so that it can protect stuff.

Also, it’s worth mentioning that s2Member only offers restrictions for stuff like bbPress through it’s URI restrictions (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions).

Check under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Other Integrations -› bbPress® for integrating (the user base I believe) with bbPress.

Hello Mary,

The best way is to make a 1 cent transactions in order to test the entire process.

Just make a new button (or change your current button) so that it charges 1 cent, and with a friend’s account or something go through the process and see if it doesn’t have any errors. Then change the price to the original price. :)

Does that answer your question?

Ah I see, well if it’s invite only there’s a better work-around.

You protect 1 page with a specific post/page access restriction. Then if you want to invite somebody you just email them a link you generate under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Specific Post/Page Access Links, which allows them to access that page momentarily, without having to pay for it.

And inside that page you put a PayPal button.

So basically you’re approving/inviting them by sending the link and they’re paying for the access (already approved) in that page.

Hello George,

There’s the membership options page, which users get redirected to when they try to access something they can’t. And there’s the login welcome page, to which users are redirected once they login.

You offer users PayPal buttons with which they pay and then get redirected to register as a paid user. You can generate these buttons under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Membership Level # Buttons, but first you must configure PayPal under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options.

Does that answer your question or did I miss something?

– Eduan

As Cassel said, it still isn’t possible. :(

Hello Jeff,

What problem are you having and in what post did he say he solved it?

– Eduan

Hello Dobbiedada. :)

a) explain specifically how to configure it so that if someone signs up at membership level 0 that it needs to be approved before they are allowed to go to level 1?
b) tell me if it’s possible (and if it is, please explain also :-)) to have users register with s2member ‘free registration option’ but not be able to access the site until an admin approves their membership.

For both of these questions, check this post I made in the past:
