Thanks for the follow-up :-)
Thanks for posting these details. OK, so you’re not sure that you were actually hacked; but what you do know is that your database tables got corrupted in some way; or that your communication with the database was stifled somehow. Is that correct? An FRM error would generally indicate database corruption. |

Thanks for the follow-up :-)I recommend articles/sites more than books. Most everything is online these days. http://netforbeginners.about.com/ Lynda.com (a VERY popular way to learn) |

Thanks for the heads up on this thread :-)
In our latest investigation of this, we did hear back from PayPal® and they concluded the underlying cause in many of these cases, is related to fraud filters. Based on what you’ve already stated, it sounds like this is the same issue affecting you (not a bug — the intended behavior). Please see this discussion:

Thanks for reporting this important issue.It sounds like you may have upgraded at the precise point of release (i.e. you had an outdated version of one or the other — perhaps right as were releasing them). If problems persist, please be sure to grab the latest copies of both s2Member® and s2Member® from our site here at s2Member.com. The latest version at this time is: s2Member & s2Member Pro v130207 |

Thanks for your reply :-)
What email are you referring to exactly please? Can you please point me to the location in your Dashboard where you configured this email. Was it configured with s2Member?
You pointed me to the Registration/Profile Fields — not to the email. |

I’m not aware of any problems with this function when running BuddyPress. However, this is a question that I would ask in the BuddyPress forums for some confirmation.
s2Member® does not keep track of this information yet; and neither does WordPress® to my knowledge. So it’s going to be very difficult to implement this. s2Member® keeps track of the number of times that a User/Member has logged in, but not the times at which this occurred. I’ll accept this as a feature request though. |

Thanks for your inquiry. ~ We appreciate your patience :-)Please see: Knowledge Base » s2Member® Pro Forms -› Customizing Templates It sounds like you will need some custom CSS as well. This can be applied within your theme options panel (in many themes); or inside the style.css file for your theme. See: /wp-content/themes/[YOUR THEME]/style.css |

The file referenced in those log entries does not exist in a default s2Member® installation.
/wp-content/plugins/s2member/includes/timthumb.php TimThumb is a software application that generates thumbnail images (very popular), but s2Member® has no functionality that requires the use of this software; and thus, does not ship with that file. See: http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/projects/timthumb/ I recommend that you obtain a fresh copy of s2Member® and s2Member® Pro from your account here at s2Member.com. Please follow the installation/upgrade instructions here. s2Member® » Pro » Install/Upgrade Instructions Please let us know if problems persist :-) |

@Buck
Gotchya. Keep in mind that s2Member’s Button Generator has these same options. Please be sure that you selected “Buy Now” and not “Subscription” when setting up your Button. That’s the only way a Subscription will be used. If a “Buy Now” Button is generated, this is no Subscription involved whatsoever. We’ll be able to tell more from your log files. |

Thanks for the heads up on this thread :-)Bruce brought to my attention that some emails were not received. I’ve just completed tests against the Private Contact Form and everything seems to be functional. If you can please post another note in this thread after submitting your log files again, we’ll be alerted to this and can let you know right away. You can also email them directly to: support@websharks-inc.com
Email server status: http://status.aws.amazon.com/ Status of Amazon SES email server is good. No emails caught in spam queue either. Strange. |

@Buck
Are you sure it’s being processed as a “Buy Now” transaction and NOT as a “Subscription”? You can have a non-recurring “Subscription”, which will support an optional Initial/Trial period. If you are not offering an Initial/Trial Period and the charge is non-recurring; it’s best to use “Buy Now” functionality. See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Membership Level # Forms
@Daniel @Buck
Please enable s2Member’s logging routines for your Payment Gateway integration and once you have some log files, please send us a Dashboard login privately and we’ll run diagnostics for you. I’m not getting a widespread report about this issue, but I’ll be happy to investigate it to be sure there is no problem we’ve missed. At the very least, we can help you diagnose the underlying cause on your installations. See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging |

Thanks for your inquiry. ~ We appreciate your patience :-)I can think of two possible scenarios. 1. You have your Payment Button or Pro Form Shortcode configured to expire the content after 60 days — not 45. If this is the case, you will need to regenerate your Shortcode with s2Member®, or modify the See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› [Your Payment Gateway] -› Shortcode Attributes (Explained) Excerpt from documentation…exp="72" Access Expires ( in hours ). Only valid when sp="1" for Specific Post/Page Access.
2. You have your Signup Confirmation Email for Specific Post/Page Access hard-coded with this incorrect value? If this is the case, you might just need to update the email that customers receive after purchase. See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› [Your Payment Gateway] -› Specific Post/Page Confirmation Email Please let us know if problems persist :-) |

Thanks for your inquiry. ~ We appreciate your patience :-)I recommend using s2Member’s API Notification for Payments.
No, you won’t need them both. All you need to do is grab the cURL Tracking Pixel provided by iDevAffiliate and attach that to your s2Member Payment Notification. This way iDevAffiliate is notified about every payment that you receive (including any future recurring payments). See attached screenshot from iDevAffiliate. Regarding your initial question…
I recommend NOT going this route, because iDevAffiliate requires that your PayPal notify_url (i.e. your IPN handler — be setup for them) and not for s2Member®. It’s possible to achieve this, but you’re looking at a more difficult situation to deal with in my opinion. It would require some custom code, and the end result is not any better really. And, as you mentioned — is requires a CRON job too. If you find that you need something even more custom, you might create an API Notification Handler of your own, and place that as a proxy between s2Member’s Payment Notification and your iDevAffiliate cURL Tracking Pixel. This way you could award commissions based on any custom criteria you’d like to analyze before processing a commission. See: Knowledge Base » Building An API Notification Handler |
