Hello Ck,

This behavior is definitely not done by s2Member, this is caused by a plugin conflict with s2Member or a theme conflict.

To test for the plugins, simply disable all your plugins, except s2Member, and see if the problem remains. To test your theme simply change your theme back to the default WordPress theme (TwentyEleven).

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Jeffrey,

We are not afraid with any problems that s2Member might cause with WordPress. Did you deactivate all of your plugins and tried then?

Have you also tried to change your theme back to the default one? Which is TwentyEleven BTW.

Hello Stuart,

Well if deactivating that plugin gets rid of the problem then it probably is the problem.

Last question before I start setting up the plugin: if I start with the free version of s2member and then – say after a few weeks – decide that I need the PRO add-on, will this upgrade delete all my existing settings so I have to configure everything again, or are the additional options PRO offers just added to the existing settings?

It is as you said, you will not need to re-configure everything. :)

Hello Boudwejin,

Have you looked at specific post/page access? You can find it under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Specific Post/Page Access Restrictions, and here’s a video on them: Video » s2Member (Specific Posts/Pages)

Hope this helps. :)

Glad you were able to solve the problem. :)

Hello Brian,

I’ll try to answer what I can, in those that I’m not sure I will say so. :)

– Can both RECURRING and BUY NOW billing models be made available simultaneously on the same installation?

I believe so, yes.

– How can a member who has purchased their membership via a ‘Buy Now’ model renew their membership PRIOR to its expiration?

I believe they just need to pay for that service once again and their EOT will be updated to show that change. To setup an email before they membership expires be sure to check out this article by Bruce:
Knowledge Base » Setting Up EOT Notifications

– How can members who’ve purchased their membership via either method (Buy Now or Subscription) UPGRADE to a higher level of membership?

I believe they would use Modification buttons, which you can find under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Subscr. Modification Buttons, but I believe they are only available for recurring payments (subscriptions).

– Where are the front-end pages that S2 Member provides for MEMBERSHIP UPGRADE and MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL functions?

I believe you are looking for the membership options page, which you can configure under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Membership Options Page.

Hope this helps. :)

If you want this functionality, then you would not use levels at all, and would only use ccaps (short for custom capabilities). Custom capabilities can’t modify levels, an vice versa, so modifying ccaps won’t affect the user’s level.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello James,

s2Member recommends, and uses, iDevAffiliate, it is also integrated with s2Member. Check under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Tracking -› Integrating iDevAffiliate® for info on integration.

Also check this video on how to integrate it: Video » s2Member (iDevAffiliate Integration)

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Mark,

Not sure, I believe it does, but you’ll have to test yourself to make sure.

Hello Hassan,

To put the login box (officially called “s2Member login widget” :P ) you need the pro version.

Although what you want to achieve isn’t possible with s2Member, and would need you to custom code this functionality.

– Eduan

Hmm… What’s the name of that log file? Also, what payment gateway are you using? I imagine PayPal, but the logs s2Member generate do not look like that.

Hello Jim,

I’m afraid s2Member can’t do anything regarding this, it only blocks access to the front-end. The back-end isn’t protected by s2Member.
