I’m looking at capping the amount of users that can sign up for the free membership.

Is there a shortcode for this?

Nothing built-in. However, you can wrap a Shortcode with something like this.

<?php $free_users = count(get_users('role=subscriber')); ?>

<?php if($free_users < 100) { ?>

	[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form register="1" /]
	
<?php } else { ?>
	Sorry, we are no longer accepting free registrations.
<?php } ?>

Thank you. I’ll suggest this for a future release.

In the current release, the purpose of this feature is to produce “Checkout Options” and does not apply to a free registration form. Normally, there is only one option here, but I can see where it might be desirable under certain circumstances.

An alternative for now, is to use a Pro Form for Level #1 access, and set the ra="" attribute to ra="0.00"; this way you can do “Checkout Options” by wrapping multiple Shortcodes. The result still provides free access and you can configure a number of options in each Shortcode this way.

When I run the webpagetest, I see a 404 error for the s2member-o.php file.

Can you post a link to your site please? We’ll take a quick look for you.

I’m not sure what I should enter for the “Custom Value”. Do I need to enter something in that field? If so, what is it and where do I find it?

All you need here is the installation host name (e.g. your domain name).

If your site is running at www.example.com, please type www.example.com into this field.

See also: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Shortcode Attributes (Explained) where it discusses the custom Shortcode Attribute. This will give you some further insight.

I want to offer a ONE-TIME upgrade at a discount on the monthly fee ($67) immediately upon purchase of the level 1 product. Then on future logins (periodically) offer upgrades to level 2 Premier monthly membership at the regular monthly fee ($97).

Have you taken a look at this feature yet?
See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› One-Time Offers (Upon Login)
If you connect this to a URL that contains a Pro Form configured at a discounted rate, that should get the job done nicely. As far as the actual discount, this can come from the way you configure a particular Pro Form.

And Im using a plugin called [WP User Avatar] to set a custom avatar for new users and disable gravatar but how to show the user Avatar on the s2Member account profile page and allow for users to manage their avatar.

We’ll accept this as feedback, but it’s not a feature that is currently possible with s2Member®.

One problem with the account profile form and registration form is the password strength indicator doesn’t seem to work.

This is powered by JavaScript and is known to work properly on a default installation of WordPress®. I would start by inspecting your site in FireBug to be sure there are no other JavaScript errors on the page that could be causing a conflict with this functionality.

Also is it possible to set the ‘Log Me In’ button so that upon an incorrect login attempt the user will be directed to a custom page rather than the standard wp-admin page

No, not without custom coding. This is designed a specific way (by default) to maximize compatibility with WordPress® and other plugins built for WordPress®.

Is there a youtube video or a page for configuring the s2 Login widget

No video on this yet, but several articles have been written.

Hi is there a shortcode for the s2 Login widget?

No, but there is the next best thing; a simple PHP template tag.

I recommend Custom Capabilities also. Please see this video for some insight!

Each download link in the library needs to be a unique URL to the digital goods that are only accessible while the user is logged in (to prevent wanton piracy).

s2Member® can certainly accomplish this part for you.
See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Download Options

I would also need the ability to sell just a key and then let users claim it.

s2Member® can generate these keys for you and these can be used to generate links for these customers.
Please see: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Download Options -› Advanced Download Restrictions


The other parts of your wishlist would require a custom integration with s2Member®. Really, just someone who knows their way around WordPress® templates. Most of the other parts of your request are related to presentation. Most of the functionality you desire is contained within s2Member®. It will just take some work to integrate this into the larger picture that you have in mind.

When you are redirected to the Membership Options Page, there will be a series of variables that appear in your address bar. These are called MOP Vars (Membership Options Page Variables); and they tell the tale about why the redirection occurred. You can learn more about these here.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Membership Options Page Variables (MOP Vars)

If you need some help, please post the list of MOP Vars that you get, and I can provide an explanation.

The trick to this.

Set accept="paypal" and accept_via_paypal="paypal"

You’ll end up with this.


Now add this above your Shortcode, or in your theme’s style.css file.

<style type="text/css">
	div.s2member-pro-paypal-form-billing-method-section { display:none !important; }
</style>

I’m sorry. I have no explanation for this, and I can’t offer assistance in debugging browser behavior when it comes to the icons that are displayed from one site or service to the next.

This would be a question for the folks at Safari.

If we have something specific to go on (e.g. a specific function or functionality) which is conflicting across these two plugins, we can certainly submit that to our developers and ask them to work on fixing it. At this time, I’m not aware of anything specific with that plugin. If you get a freelancer to help you, or you have more specific information you can provide, please let us know about it :-)

If you’re not comfortable with resolving plugin conflicts, you can try Elance.com or jobs.wordpress.net.

If it’s the exact same URL, I can’t imagine why there would be a difference.
Is this from the same browser also?

None of the files have been updated/replaced. They’ve been there since we set up s2member in May.

I would contact Amazon about this. If files are not found via CloudFront, that’s something that Amazon should have a record of, and they might be able to offer you some insight on this. It may also be worth a look at your log files for Amazon CloudFront (or enable logging on the underlying Bucket) and keep tabs on this for errors.

If I make it a Buy Now button can I still keep the signup forms that I currently have?

No, Buttons are designed for offsite checkout at PayPal.com.

If I have a buy it now button will it give me the option to limit them to a year’s access?

Yes, you can configure a Button in this way from the Dashboard.


I recommend that you obtain a PayPal Pro account and setup Pro Forms as they were intended to be used.

natural disdain for online payment gateway companies that send you a paper document to sign, scan and send back

lol


Nope, that’s all I’ve got friend. You might check this list.

Have you considered Authorize.Net? s2Member® Pro supports Pro Forms against both PayPal Pro and also against Authorize.Net, which is another highly recommended service. Authorize.Net has the bonus of being able to work even together with your own bank account (in many cases). If not, they can usually connect you with Wells Fargo or another major bank. You might give them a call. See: http://www.authorize.net/
