I just took a quick look at the source code which leads to this error.
s2Member® requires the following to be true; and this leads me to believe that perhaps you have a custom value set for WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT? Not sure. We’re not seeing any widespread reports of this problem.

@ini_get("memory_limit") === apply_filters("admin_memory_limit", WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT)

I don’t see anything in your reply about the category. Did you check that out?

That is a serliazed array of payment times.
Please see: Knowledge Base » Import (or Mass Update) Users

A couple of things you can do.

1. When you do an export, choose the friendlier format for output.
Instead of that serialized array, you’ll get a line delimited list of these times, which is easier to read.

2. Instead of going by this column, it’s better to go by the Role column and/or the Custom Capabilities column in the export file. If a user is NOT a subscriber they are likely a customer at one of these Roles. See: Knowledge Base » s2Member® Roles/Capabilities

Our developers looked into this and investigated your log files.

We’re seeing an abnormal ratio of failed payments vs. new signups in your log files. Do you deal with a lot of payment failures? Is your particular business model prone to fake credit cards or high in fraud? Anything like that?

Regarding the signups followed by an immediate cancellation.

Our lead developer looked into this and he showed me several log entries that look like this.

array (
  'txn_type' => 'subscr_signup',
  'subscr_id' => 'I-PX9DWW7FY89A',

Followed almost immediately by a cancellation IPN from PayPal.

array (
  'payment_cycle' => 'Monthly',
  'txn_type' => 'recurring_payment_profile_cancel',
  'last_name' => 'mcphauljr',
  'initial_payment_status' => 'Failed',
  'recurring_payment_id' => 'I-PX9DWW7FY89A',

Note that it says: ‘initial_payment_status’ => ‘Failed’,.

This is happening because the initial payment is failing almost immediately after the customer completes checkout. You can prevent this from ever happening by switching s2Member® over to Real Time/Direct Pay mode when it comes to Recurring Billing. Please see: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details and look at this configurable option. There is further documentation on this in your Dashboard.

and is that the only way?

Yes, because if s2Member® is not even running there, you won’t have it’s functionality. However, you can use WordPress® itself to test permissions across blogs and that works just fine.

So for instance, you might have an MU plugin file that looks something like this.

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_action('wp', 'my_custom_security_gate');
function my_custom_security_gate()
	{
		if(get_current_blog_id() === 2)
			if(is_page(123) && !current_user_can_for_blog(2, 'access_s2member_level1'))
				wp_redirect(home_url('/my-checkout-options/')).exit();
	}

I took a quick look. When I am redirected I’m seeing this in the address. These are called MOP Vars by s2Member® and they tell the tale about why the redirection occurred. See also: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Membership Options Page Variables (MOP Vars)

From the following screenshot (click to enlarge please); it indicates that this post (calendar page) is inside a protected category that requires Level 1 access; based on your configuration of s2Member®. If problems persist, please post a screenshot of all of your coniguration sub-panels here.

Sure. Please see: http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10368&p=33365#p33365

It certainly sounds possible to me :-) It does sound you like you MIGHT need to adjust the defaults a bit though. Please take a look at this article which covers tweaks to the default Roles/Capabilities that ship with s2Member®.

See: Knowledge Base » s2Member® Roles/Capabilities

You can get a list of all users at that Level like this.

foreach(get_users('role=s2member_level3') as $user)
	{
		echo $user-ID;
	}

As for geolocation, you might try something like this.

Very welcome :-). If you get a moment (we know you’re busy), but if you can do this I would really appreciate it!

That’s not an s2Member® Pro feature. However, I’ve run s2Member® Pro together with this plugin and it works beautifully. Check out: http://wordpress.org/plugins/social-connect/

Thank you. Can you post the underlying s2Member Shortcode that you’ve used for that Pro Form please?

What version of s2Member® are you running please?

Here are some screenshots of the logging area of the Dashboard in the latest release.

Re my ‘email in use’ problem. This is not subscribers modifying there status, they are receiving an email with a link in that takes them to a sign up page (paypal pro form), if they then have to go and login, then go back to the mail and click on the link I will lose sales through the cracks….

It sounds like you are sending emails out to folks, who may or may not be existing users on your site and inviting them to signup. If they are already an existing user, they will get an error during checkout (if cases where they are NOT logged into your site yet); because they may attempt to signup again under the same email address.

Do I have this correct?

If so, I would suggest using the modify=”1″ Shortcode Attribute on your Pro Forms where there is an expectation for an existing user to upgrade their existing account. That attribute will force them to login before completing checkout. This way their existing account can be upgraded and you won’t have redundant accounts and/or some of the confusion you mentioned.
