Thanks Cristián, that solved the issue. There were some files in that folder, I deleted them from FTP and the badge started working again :)

Exact same thing as Salvatore’s happened to me. Badge was working great and then stopped being “verified”. Test gives 0 and clicking in the badge shows NO condition is met, even though I haven’t changed a thing and all settings are according to instructions.

I posted this issue in another thread but seems like I didn’t subscribed to it and ca’t find it now.

Same thing’s happening to me. I haven’t made any changes to my websites and yet the badge stopped working. It’s set to “Not Verified” in my Dashboard, and it doesn’t show in any of my pages.

If I click it it shows that NONE of the requirements are met, yet Logging is disabled (and I deleted existing logs), the Security Encription Key is generated, Login Protetion and Restriction Options are configured, etc. I mean, these are all the same as before because I haven’t changed them (and Safeguard s2Member Data/Options is set to YES), only that the badge seems to not be seing them anymore.

Testing http://www.dejarladieta.com/?s2member_s_badge_status=1 gives 0 (same thing for my other s2Member enabled website).

I guess this happened since the upgrade, although I just realised yesterday about the issue.

Thoughts?

Hi Kevin,

My .htaccess file looks like this:

# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

addhandler x-httpd-php-cgi .php4
addhandler x-httpd-php5-cgi .php
addhandler x-httpd-php5-cgi .php5

# BEGIN s2Member GZIP exclusions
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase /
	RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|\?|&)s2member_file_download\=.+
	RewriteRule .* - [E=no-gzip:1]
</IfModule>
# END s2Member GZIP exclusions

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

It’s for a WP network (multisite) so it’s different from yours. The addhandler lines… I don’t even remember where I got them from or why they’re there… but this file works so I left it like that.

Adding the line I told you about didn’t work on my case the first day either, but it worked afterwards… maybe you can retry? I hope your problem gets solved.

Hi Kevin,

I had the same problem and it was solved by adding this line to my .htaccess file:

# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php 

Hope it helps in your case.

Hi Cristián,

I’ve just sent what you asked through the private contact form. I gave you access to the main blog of my network, which is not live so you can do any testing you need to.

I’ll be waiting for any news on this. Thanks a lot, really.

Hi Cristián, thanks for your answer.

I own a network and use s2member in two of my sites, but they’re live and I cannot risk breaking something by following the steps you mentioned, so I tried it in my main blog which is mostly empty.

I setup s2member in that blog and reproduced the error. After setting up the membership options page, generating a security encription key, enabling the security badge API and inserting the shortcode, the badge shown in the dashboard says “not yet validated”. I navigate to my site and the badge is not there, but the code is:

<a href="http://www.s2member.com/" onclick="window.open('http://www.s2member.com/s-badges/s-details.php?v=1&amp;site_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmnd.com.es', '_popup', 'width=770,height=720,left='+((screen.width/2)-(770/2))+',screenX='+((screen.width/2)-(770/2))+',top='+((screen.height/2)-(720/2))+',screenY='+((screen.height/2)-(720/2))+',location=0,menubar=0,toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=1'); return false;" title="s2Member&reg;"><img src="//www.s2member.com/s-badges/s-badge.php?v=1&amp;site_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmnd.com.es" style="border:0;" alt="s2Member&reg;" title="s2Member&reg; ( Seguridad para WordPress&reg; )" /></a>

The exact same thing happens in my other two sites. I haven’t changed anything on them, not the team, not a plugin, nothing. And my WP installation and all plugins are up to date (including s2member). Sadly I cannot trace the incident back so I don’t know exactly when this started happening, I adventure myself to believing it was after the latest WP update as another user said in one of the forum threads I mentioned.

I followed these troubleshooting steps on my main blog with no luck:
– deactivated all plugins
– changed theme (was twentytwelve, switched to thesis 1.85 which is the one in my other sites)
– everything is setup accordingly to your indications (and, as I said, I hadn’t changed any of that when the problem started), plus, the test throws “1” (on my three websites) meaning everything is well configured
– uploaded the server test file and on loading it on my browser I get only one warning:

[WARNING] Plugin Directory Checksum (s2member)
dismiss?
Although NOT required, s2Member® recommends that you reinstall the following plugin directory: /home/content/62/7668362/html/wp-content/plugins/s2member. The checksum for this plugin directory (ef10b8631d55ef2ee0a6eae6e872e0a0), does NOT match up with the official release of this plugin (9dbe1c5290616e7dd2d2ee9d44a482cf). An invalid checksum can be caused by an incomplete set of files. Or, by files that should NOT appear in this directory. Or, by corrupted files in this directory. Reinstalling the official release of this plugin should correct this issue.

So, I guess this needs to be done and hopefully that will solve the problem (Id on’t know how that happened because I’ve always updated s2member from my dahsboard, but anyhoo).

Before I reinstall s2member I rather ask, shoudl I just download installation files from my account and upload them to where they should go (i.e. where they are right now) using FileZilla? Would it break current use of the plugin? I mean, my sites are live and I don’t want my subscribers to experience any inconvenience after I reainstall, nor I want to loose any of the configuration informations…

So what’s the best modus operandi to follow here? (and thanks a lot for taking up my case)

Thanks Bruno for posting this question, I’d love to know how to do this too.

Hi Jason,

I’m sorry to have taken so long replying to this.

I did as you said and yes, I get a 1. So somethings is changing this value when the page is loaded.
I’ll give you access as you suggested so you can take a look at this if you want to.

Thank you very much for your help.
