Glad I was able to help. :)

• A Homepage (or registration page, which can be set as Homepage containing the login-form and the registration-form plus some content served by the theme/pagetemplate).
• All users are redirected to this page, if they are not logged in and try to visit locked content

Yes this is possible, if I’m not mistaken this page you need is s2Member’s membership options page, which you can configure under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Membership Options Page

Is it possible for users to register for a free membership without getting asked for payment-relevant information (and upgrade to a paid level later)?

Yes this is possible with s2Member as well.

I don’t think you need any of the pro features of s2Member for this.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Doug,

Hope this helps. :)

You can do one product with two options, simply generate the different buttons for it.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Eva,

Well you can use the options under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Notifications in order to send different emails at different events.

Hope this helps. :)

s2Member Pro Forms (via Custom Registration Field)
If you’re using s2Member Pro with PayPal Pro Forms, or Pro Forms for Authorize.Net integration, the simplest way to accomplish this is with a Custom Registration Field that you configure with s2Member. In your Dashboard, under: s2Member -> General Options -> Custom Registration Fields, you can create a Checkbox field that is required, and in your description of this field, you can even include HTML code that may provide a link to your Terms/Conditions. ~So this is pretty simple, because your site is already integrated with s2Member Pro Forms. In other words, checkout occurs on your site! Very simple.

I don’t understand what the problem is. This adds it to the pro-forms, so whatever pro-form you have you will be able to have this.

Hello Bob,

I checked the source code of that file, and from what I can tell, it’s what loads s2Member fully. You can check it yourself: http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/source/s2member/s2member-o.php/

So if that tells you anything, maybe the reason it gets a lot of hits is because every time your site is loaded, including search engines maybe, that file gets loaded.

Hello Kim,

I wasn’t able to find this in time, lol. Yes that would work, I believe it uses the same method as this article:

Hello William,

If you ever need the next license of s2Member, then you can simply go to your My Account page and just upgrade there, there should be a link that gives you a button, dpepending on what you want, you would only pay the difference.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Chris,

In what page are your users registering? I assume in http://www.your-site.com/wp-login.php?action=register, correct?

Hello Kim,

You would simply find the user in question under WP Dashboard -> Users -> All Users -> [Username], and then edit his capabilities or role in order to reflect his upgrade.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Jason,

Well if the sale info is stored somewhere, all you have to do is always get it from the same place, with the variation of the username. If the sales info you say is in WordPress then this certainly is possible.

Hello Jason,

If the page you want in the nav bar is protected, you can just hide it with alternative restrictions: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Alternative View Protection

Just be sure to check the Nav bar menu option.

In order to maintain it for him only you would need to do some custom coding that checks if the current user can have access to this user’s page. Or, if you do the content always the same for everybody, then it doesn’t really matter, cause they won’t be able to enter other user’s pages anyway.

Hope this helps. :)
