That’s strange, that tells me that s2Member is not being able to communicate with PayPal, or vice-versa.

Could you check if you have logging enabled under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging?

If you don’t, wait until this happens again and show me both logs of the transaction (s2Member creates 2 different logs for each transaction). If you do, could you show the logs of one of those accounts? Remember to use <code></code> tags. Also remember to X out any personal or private info.

Hello Charles,

Would the method described in this article work for you?:
Knowledge Base » Protecting Non-WordPress Content with s2Member

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Simeon,

Currently you’re not able to know at what level the post/page is protected, or if it is at all. At least not a simple way. But you can separate the content for different levels, check under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Charles,

I’m afraid there’s not automatic way to do this at the moment, you would have to manually edit your theme and insert the PHP conditionals.

Hope this helps. :)

Oh OK, yeah FaceBook is a good option.

Hello Sean,

I think you can achieve this, not sure if it’ll work with your setup though.

Basically, you would use specific post restrictions for each page, each page will contain a download link.
The specific post page access restrictions allow you to make a link work only for a certain amount of time, and so the users wouldn’t be able to access the links to download the files without that special link.

Check out the following, for specific post page access:
Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Specific Post/Page Access Restrictions
Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Specific Post/Page Confirmation Email
Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Specific Post/Page (Buy Now) Buttons
Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Specific Post/Page Access Links
Video » s2Member (Specific Posts/Pages)

For download protections check:
Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Download Options
Video » s2Member® File Downloads (Complete Series)

Hope this helps. :)

Yes you would simply pay the difference. You would have an upgrade button under the My Account page, which would allow you to upgrade, only paying the difference.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Simeon,

This error by s2Member exists so that you don’t accidentally lose admin access. It only appears to admin accounts or accounts that have admin powers.

So I suggest you make a free account, with a different computer/IP, and test with that one, see if you still get the same error.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Ulrich,

This is caused by the setting under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Unique IP Access Restrictions.

Hope this helps. :)

Cool! Glad you solved your problem. :)

Thanks for this guide Mihnea! I sticked it in this sub-forum, so that users will get to notice it. ;)

We appreciate this kind of post, really saves us a lot of questions to answer, that is, to people that check these forums every day to see what they can answer… Like me! :P

Oh OK, thanks for the info. :)

I didn’t catch when you mentioned it. ;)

You can’t have protected files with iTunes, at least s2Member is not integrated that way. So if you want to integrate s2Member with iTunes you would have to contact Apple, and ask them if it’s possible.

Although from what I know, integrating with iTunes is not possible, at least if you’re not an app.
