Did you set the player_key=”” attribute in your [s2Stream /] Shortcode?
See: http://www.s2member.com/kb/jwplayer-s2stream-shortcodes/#using-s2stream-shortcodes

Yes, that requires s2Member® Pro; it comes with the Pro Login Widget and it makes several things possible. However, as a free alternative you can try this out. Jason (the Lead Developer for s2Member® Pro) recommends this in his article here. See: Knowledge Base » Plugins/Themes (Compatibility w/ s2Member®)

Free: Sidebar Login (written by Mike Jolley)

It might be a caSe issue. Please see FNM_CASEFOLD here:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.fnmatch.php

if (fnmatch ("/members/".S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_LOGIN, $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], FNM_CASEFOLD)
 && !current_user_can (“access_s2member_level2″))
	{
		$allowed = TRUE;
	}

Here are the contents of that file :-)

Ah, I see. You’re talking about the infamous ERP service from PayPal. That’s been somewhat discouraged by s2Member because it lacks any API connectivity whatsoever. When your customer goes through PayPal, they pay through their PayPal account, and that’s normally where they would have access to cancel future payments. However, when you operate a PayPal account with their ERP service (which is one level shy of PayPal Pro) it still pushes the customer through PayPal, but because they don’t actually pay you with a PayPal account, it creates a scenario where the only way a customer can cancel is by contacting you.

s2Member is unable (due to PayPal API limitations) to cancel these accounts, and the customer is also unable to cancel billing, because they have no PayPal account connected to their recurring payments. Interally, it’s the difference on the PayPal side between what they term a “Subscription” vs. a “Recurring Profile”. A Recurring Profile is created under API integration (normally via PayPal Pro) while a Subscription is normally associated with PayPal Standard and/or the ERP service. Subscriptions can only be cancelled by a customer; or by the site owner. It’s not possible to cancel these through API calls alone; and thus, the Pro Cancellation Form will fail with an error back to the customer.

The solution in this unfortunate situation is to cancel these accounts manually. I would suggest posting a notice on the site that “if you experience an error during your cancellation attempt, please contact support for assistance” and this way you can deal with these on a case-by-case basis until you weed through these old customers that joined up under the ERP service.

Actually, I get the error-Message from buddypress:
The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Register.

I would take a closer look at this problem first. If your installation of BuddyPress is missing a page, that could cause all sorts of unexpected problems. Unfortunately, that’s something you’ll probably want to seek help w/ at BuddyPress.org; because that’s a BuddyPress-specific issue.

Did any of these folks use PayPal (or did they all pay you with a credit card)? If they used PayPal, the s2Member® cancellation form will ask them to log into their PayPal account and terminate billing; because that’s required with PayPal customers. Anyway, just wondering if this might be part of the issue?

Stripe integration was moved into the next generation of s2Member and is still in development at this time. There is no official release date yet. However, it’s been quite awhile so I don’t think it should be too much longer.

As of now – if they have a subscriber account, non paid – when they go to upgrade – the problem is that they are not allowed as their email / username is already tied to this subscriber (trial, unpaid) account.

I suggest that you generate a Pro “Modification Form”; or simply add the modify="1" attribute to your Pro Form Shortcode that is being displayed to existing customers. This will make sure these folks are logged in before they complete checkout; and this way their existing account is updated instead of something all new and redundant.

This is a proxy for s2Member’s IPN handler; which is a behind-the-scene HTTP process that occurs silently. It does not control a customer’s browser in any way. If setup properly, this will result in an email that goes out to your customer, and the link you’re looking for (e.g. the registration link) will be inside that email they receive. See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Signup Confirmation Email

The parameters:

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® IPN Integration
In this section, follow the links for more information and it will reveal details regarding s2Member’s Proxy IPN handler. There you will find all of the parameters that s2Member needs from JVZoo.

Mapping these parameters from JVZoo back to s2Member. This would be a question for the folks at JVZoo I believe. s2Member Proxy IPN handler follows PayPal standards for the most part, so if they have a PayPal integration example over at JVZoo, that should suffice.

Thanks for the follow-up Olly. If you get a moment (we know you’re busy), but if you can please rate s2Member® for us we would VERY much appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

How can I either remove this option completely so the user is auto subscribed to aweber?
If it can’t be removed and the user HAS to check the box can it be auto checked?
Can I change the wording “Sign up to our newsletter” because that’s not relevant to my site?

It can’t be removed unless you don’t intend to collect them as subscribers. However, you can certainly change the wording and pre-check the box if you like. Please see: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› Registration Double Opt-In Box
