I’m sorry, no. That’s not possible with s2Member alone.

I would suggest integrating something like this:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/social-connect/

People that come in through this plugin will be made Free Subscribers (i.e. you will get their email address) and it’s very simple to register this way. You can certainly use this in combination with s2Member if you like.

s2Member will redirect anyone that does not have the edit_posts Capability.

You can filter this if you like with a hack file.

Please create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php
(NOTE: these are MUST USE plugins, see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins)
(See also: http://www.s2member.com/kb/hacking-s2member/)

<?php
add_filter('ws_plugin__s2member_login_redirect', 's2_login_redirect', 10, 2);
function s2_login_redirect($what_s2_says, $vars = array())
	{
		$user = $vars&#91;'user'&#93;;
		
		if(!$user->has_cap('edit_posts')) // Change the Capability here if you like.
			return FALSE;
		
		return $what_s2_says; // Default return value.
	}

The no_shipping directive is supported by s2Member®. The weight directive is not however. Please see: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes (Explained)

I see I can export all members… but notice that ones that have been unsubscribed are still in the database… so, am assuming they are “demoted” or whatever you call it… and not considered “active”… ?

You will want to look at the “Role” column in your export file.
Anyone with the “Role” of “subscriber”, is a Free Subscriber (they either never paid, or were demoted).

See also: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Automatic EOT Behavior
You can tell s2Member® to delete upon EOT instead of demoting. Demotion is the default behavior.

We have MemberPro… and thought there was a way to email or send announcements to all active members… but I don’t see that in the S2 Dashboard area or am missing it.. If that’s possible, can avoid the export issue altogether.

Email campaigns are established on the MailChimp side of things (or with AWeber if you prefer). While s2Member integrates with these services, it’s not possible to send mail to everyone from the Dashboard in WP. You would need to send emails using MailChimp or AWeber.

That being said, if you just want to mail everyone in your WP database, there are plugins available for this.
Please see: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mailpress/

Reason: We wanted to make an announcement to all active members…
But during registration, it seems that if they don’t opt in or accidentally opt out, they are not on our Mail Chimp list…
Is there a way to assure that all paid registrants get placed in our Mail Chimp db without going thru the opt in process?

If you’ve integrated with MailChimp, yes.

Hello Support, is there a way to allow users to delete their membership account (whether paid or free). I’m not talking about demoting the account at the EOT but rather giving a user the ability to delete their account altogether (ie they no longer want their membership).

In your post, you mentioned (paid or free). However, a paying customer needs to cancel billing first. So if you present them with a Billing Cancellation Form, and set your EOT Behavior to “delete”, that should work nicely. Keep in mind that cancelling billing, does not always warrant an immediate EOT. They might still have time left.

Thanks for reporting this important issue.

I’m forwarding this to accounting. You should receive an email from Elizabeth shortly.

Thanks for reporting this important issue.

I can confirm that s2Member® is compatible with WP Mail SMTP. We actually use that plugin here at s2Member.com. If mail sent by s2Member is not coming through, I would double-check your FROM address. Mail sent through an external SMTP server normally requires a specific FROM address.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Email Configuration

Please let us know if problems persist :-)

Thanks for your inquiry. ~ We appreciate your patience :-)

All of s2Member’s login functionality is ultimately routed through /wp-login.php for the best compatibility with other plugins/themes. Using the Pro Login Widget is no different. If you want to achieve something like this, you might try an AJAX powered solution.

See: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sidebar-login/installation/

<?php sidebarlogin(); ?>

If that code is coming from an s2Member Shortcode, it means that you have a theme/plugin which is not respecting the output that is generated by a Shortcode, and it’s instead applying WordPress® content filters to the output (i.e. <br /> tags for each line break in the raw code that is generated by a Shortcode).

We’ve seen this happen now and again, and it’s normally caused by a theme. Contacting the theme developer would be a good idea. Some themes will come with raw HTML shortcodes, or something like that, which can help resolve this, but in a theme-specific way. It’s not something you can reproduce on a default WP installation.

I have posted something before on this forum regarding this. Does s2 have the capability to protect live streams coming from amazon cloudfront?

Yes, please see: Knowledge Base » JW Player® w/ [s2Stream /] Shortcodes

I’m finding information regarding using a media extension rss feed that could work with jwplayer v6 that may contain a live stream.. is it possible to load an rss feed using the [s2stream] shortcode? This could potentially be a way to protect live streams using rss feed playlists..

The s2Stream Shortcode is designed to serve audio/video content, it will not serve an XML feed for you. However, s2Member can certainly protect an RSS feed, you will just need to place the XML feed file inside of your security-enabled directory (i.e. inside /wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/), and serve it from there.

What you make available through this feed, could also be protected. If you’d like to elaborate some more, I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction. I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to accomplish exactly. Thanks!
