About: Ryan Collins

I based my conclusion that he was not over the Max IPs on the message from s2member within his user account.

In my WordPress dashboard: All Users–Edit User–Scroll Down–“*Note* this User is NOT currently banned by any of your IP Restrictions.”

I’ve attached a screen shot of the option.

Every other time when someone receives a 503 Error message, s2member lets me know that they are over their max allowable IPs by telling me that they are over their limit. In this case, I did not receive that particular message and instead s2member told me he was not over his limit.

I hope that helps clarify things. If you have any ideas I’m all ears. Thank you!

*This issue has been solved*

Just an update here for anyone else dealing with this issue.

It is not an s2member issue at all, it’s a buyers’ issue – according to PayPal support.

What happened in my case was the buyer purchased a membership, and s2member created their account as it normally would.

However, I don’t know if PayPal delayed the initial charge, but a few hours later that transaction failed. According to the PayPal support team, the buyer’s credit card or PayPal account failed and the new member was demoted.

Still not sure why the account was approved in the first place, if the initial transaction to setup their membership failed.

I suppose I’ll go bug PayPal again. lol

Thanks,

Ryan

Hey guys,

Just a friendly “bump” here to see if there has been any progress looking into this issue.

I did submit a private contact form, so please let me know if you received it at your convenience.

The website houseflippingschool.com is now live, so there is no need to login via a web proxy as described in the private contact form message.

Thank you! Would love to get this one figured out – I am stumped!

Take care,

Ryan

Quick update:

I had my hosting company disable APC on my server, however the problem still persists.

Thanks for any insight and take care,

Ryan

After trying a lot of things I have figured this one out. Looks like you need to be cognizant of your W3 Cache settings if you plan on using that plugin with s2member.

If you encounter the same issue as I, and you are using W3, try disabling “Database Caching” – that solved the problem for me.

A better alternative would probably be to just use Quick Cache instead of W3.

Thanks,

Ryan

Awesome, thank you Bruce for your prompt response-much appreciated!

Take care,

Ryan

Thanks Eduan. I really appreciate it.

Quick question – Do you know of a wordpress squeeze page plugin that works well alongside s2member?

Thanks!

Ryan
