Hello Eleanor,

Yes that’s right, unless you take into account specific post/page access, here’s a video about it:
Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Specific Post/Page Access Restrictions

Hope this helps. :)

You can check under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals which allows you to do conditionals inside code, since shortcodes won’t work inside code.

Is this what you needed?

Hello Eleanor,

You might be interested in using ccaps (short for “custom capabilities”), they allow you to separate content in such a way that it’s not a incremental access (level 2 gets content for level 2 and below), so it allows you to separate your content in the way you want.

You can check a video about them here:
Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities)

Hope this helps. :)

OK, sorry to hear that.

The preferred way is to read the following:
s2Member® » Terms » Refund Policy

And to put a post in the customer support forums.

Hope this helps. :)

You can expect an answer here, since the support reps do check this forum, if I’m not mistaken, the other post was made in the community forums. ;)

Hello James,

Do you have a caching plugin like Quick Cache installed?

Hello Charles,

For that purpose, I suggest you look into Custom Capabilities (ccaps), you can find a video about them here:

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Joe,

Yes, the plan is to update them of course, but the thing is, Jason is currently with his head deep in the new s2Member development, so right now they’re giving that all the priority. The rest I leave it to a support rep. ;)

Hope this helps. :)

No problem, lol.

A shortcode looks something along these lines:

[some-random-shortcode some-attribute another-attribute]

Basically it’s something like a PHP function, but in a shortcode format, so that we don’t need the PHP tags.

Did you follow the following instructions when creating the button?:
Knowledge Base » Using PayPal created buttons

Hope this helps. :)

Hello twoodring,

Have you checked under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Unique IP Access Restrictions? I believe it’s what you’re looking for.

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Christine,

Well you can always hire a freelancer to do this for you, you can check at websites like jobs.wordpress.net.

Then you would have to use the conditionals…

Really it’s whichever has more things that you want.

Well I believe it does work like you said, the second method I mean, but it would have that drawback I mentioned. :/

OK, here’s what you should do in that page in order for it to work correctly if I’m not mistaken.

You could make the more link go to the membership options page, where you will offer the users to pay membership level 1 in order to read that content.


The other thing you can do is make the alternative restrictions like this:
└─ Searches ( hide protected content in search results )
x└─ Feeds ( hide protected content in standard XML/RSS/ATOM feeds )
x└─ Comment Feeds ( hide comments associated with protected content, in comment feeds )
x└─ Nav Menus ( hide protected content in menus generated with WordPress® -> Appearance -> Menus )

The only drawback for this is, users will only be able to use the search results in order to see teaser content, this also applies anywhere there is a preview of the post, you would not use conditionals for this.


These are the only ways I can think to do this…

What I mean is, is the following, x means that you should protect it:
└─ Searches ( hide protected content in search results )
x└─ Feeds ( hide protected content in standard XML/RSS/ATOM feeds )
└─ Comment Feeds ( hide comments associated with protected content, in comment feeds )
x└─ Nav Menus ( hide protected content in menus generated with WordPress® -> Appearance -> Menus )

Sorry I said fourth instead of third. :P

This way users would see the teaser content if they see it in a search, and if they click it, they would also be able to see the spoiler that way. I suggest you don’t protect the posts and depend on the conditionals.

Hope this helps. :)

You wouldn’t want to check the first and fourth options in that case.

Hope this helps. :)

Oh, yes that is the default behavior if, you don’t use one of the alternative restrictions, and if you see the post in a post list, otherwise you directly go to the membership options page.

Of course you can use the conditionals if you want them to be able to open the post. ;)

Not sure Christine, you can start with the s2Member codex.

What I would do is check with your favorite text editor and search for the word “success” through s2Member’s files, of course you would use a software that allows you to check entire folders.

Hope this helps. :)

Not sure what you mean with stand tag? You mean the read more tag?

Although, if you have a problem with the shortcode, I believe you would still have the problem if you use the code. :/ So I suggest you find another theme, if you want.

I mean s2Member’s source code, since s2Member is the one that computes the success attribute. :)

Hope this helps. :)

I was gonna offer using conditionals, although I recommend you do it the following way:

[s2If !is_user_logged_in()]
	[...] Teaser content [...]
	<!--more-->
[/s2If]

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
	[...] Subscriber content [...]
[/s2If]

Hope this helps. :)

Hello Michael,

Sorry for the misunderstanding, s2Member works like this by default actually, I think I confused myself above.

Hope this helps. :)
