You can control that with the Alternative Views retriction for Navigation Menus. Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Alternative View Protection

Create a menu in your WP admin -> Appearance -> Menus settings, add the pages you want for it, and select the location for the menu in your theme.

Ahhh, perfect! Tried it on a test-blog and it seems that’s what I was looking for :)

It’s not impossible, but it isn’t something s2Member does by default, you’d need to code this customization.

Ok. Not a big issue since I can start by emailing the invoices manually, but good to know that some kind of automation ist possible with extra coding.

Last question before I start setting up the plugin: if I start with the free version of s2member and then – say after a few weeks – decide that I need the PRO add-on, will this upgrade delete all my existing settings so I have to configure everything again, or are the additional options PRO offers just added to the existing settings?

Regards

Hey Cristián,

thanks for your quick reply!

When the user tries to load a page he doesn’t have access to, he’ll be redirected to the Membership Options page, where you can have the message you want. Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Membership Options Page

That’s exactly what I want to avoid. Maybe I didn’t articulated my desire right. To make it clearer here are two screenshots of my website: one like a “normal”, not logged-in visitor sees it. The second image is the menu like a logged-in user sees it. As I marked in the second picture, the pages “Mein Konto” and “Chartbibliothek” are only visible to premium users. A “normal” visitor won’t be redirected to another page if he clicks on one of of those since they [the ‘premium sites’] aren’t displayed to them at all.

At the moment, users have to create a WP-account (i.e. as a ‘subscriber’ or ‘contributor’) and I controll the site-capabilites with the Plugin “CaPa Protect”. I am looking for a way to control the user rights directly through the membership levels and not through an additional WP-account from every user.

Regarding my invoice request, if I get you right the only possibility is to upload the invoices as a normal .pdf, then I have to restrict the access to this file so that only the corresponding user has access to it?

My idea was that every user has a “My account” section where he/she can edit the profile information (like adress, passwort, e-mail). This “my account” section should have a site called “My invoices” where all of his/her invoices are stored. I thought it might be possible to browse through the members list and upload some PDF to a certain account, so that these documents automatically appear in the “My Invoices” section of this specific user. This it not possible?

Regards
