Sorry im a bit confused, am i expected to create this test install and start adding content until the error appears? This is all getting a bit too hard for this plugin, I have already spent days trying to narrow down the problem to permalinks, unfortunately i don’t have the time to start adding content to a test site.

So the problem is permalinks as I understand it.
Is it not possible to setup permalinks in a test environment and reproduce this problem?
Can you please clarify what you mean by permalinks being the problem? Is this related to a specific permalink configuration in WordPress? What can we do to reproduce this from our end?

This is possible w/ s2Member® Pro.

Please see this article for some ideas: Knowledge Base » Login Box Like s2Member.com?

Mike he states he needs a clean install with the same error reproduced. i tried it and the same error didn’t reproduce on a clean install. On a clean install of course it wont reproduce as there are no urls or content.

Do i send the login details for the clean install with no problems in it ?..

No, that’s not necessary. What he’ll need is an installation of WordPress® running only s2Member® and a default theme, but with just enough test content that you’ve prepared to reproduce the issue. This will allow us to reproduce the issue where it has been isolated to s2Member® as the underlying cause, and in your environment where problems are being experienced (e.g. on your server).

Sorry I should have made it clear. The payment works but I wanted to have the option for subscribers to pay with their card (through PayPal) without having a PayPal account. The checkout process works fine but when I get to the payment part of PayPal it only has 2 options. 1. Pay with PayPal account 2. Setup PayPal account.

You will need to use a Pro Form that’s been integrated with PayPal Pro; where you can accept credit card payments on-site. Or, you can use a PayPal Button and charge on a Buy Now basis.

NOTE: The PayPal Express Checkout service, which is what’s integrated into an s2Member® Pro Form (this is required by PayPal); will not allow a customer to pay with a credit card under any circumstance. This is because PayPal Express Checkout is designed specifically for customers that “prefer” to pay with PayPal as opposed to paying via credit card on your site.

I’m not aware of any issues when moving s2Member® or s2Member® Pro to and/or from one site to another. There is nothing in the software to prevent this. The only thing I would warn against is licensing. However, it looks like you’ve already purchased the Unlimited Site License; so you’re good there.

I located your previous thread here Julie, under username: julienskinny. We’ve had the ban lifted against your account (julienskinny) this time; however please take note of the above to prevent this from occurring again in the future.

Here is your previous thread and it appears that Cristian took a look at your Dashboard yesterday.

Hi, i have been blocked out of your customer support forum for 2 days due to ip block, so i had to reregister to have access to post, from same ip so not sure why my customer ip wont work.

At s2Member.com we allow up to 10 different IP addresses every 30 day period. If you exceed this (e.g. if you’re on an ISP that uses dynamic IPs at random, or otherwise); you may get blocked inadvertently. We apologize, but we must maintain this limitation for security purposes.

i am the customer with the following problem “external website linking to protected” I have found the problem, it is the permalinks, the 404 error page stops appearing when i change the permalinks to default.

I’m not sure that I understand. Is there a previous thread you can
link me to which explains more of this in detail? Thanks in advance!

I would have to say no to this. s2Member® could certainly be used to construct a site like the one you mentioned, but out-of-the-box it’s a plugin that fits into MANY business models. It’s not designed to replicate another site.

I can confirm that’s working properly from my end.

– WordPress® v3.6
– s2Member® v130801 & v130731 both working properly w/ these Shortcodes.

Have you tried running a quick test against a default installation of WordPress? It almost looks like your Shortcodes are getting corrupted somewhere between the WordPress® Visual Editor and actual parsing from s2Member®. This can sometimes be caused by plugin conflicts. If you have any plugins that modify or filter content, you might turn those off temporarily to see if you can pinpoint the conflicting plugin. It could also be a theme conflict for that matter.

Thanks for the follow-up. I was unable to reproduce that given the list of Shortcodes above.
Can you post your full code now after that revision please?

Here’s what I have working properly.
