About: Michael Panzner

Actually, it was stupid error on my part. I listed the vendor name as PayPal instead of my user name. It all works fine now. Sorry for the hassle.

Hi Christian, the SSL problem is now fixed (it required me getting a dedicated IP address from my hosting company). Please try again. Thanks.

Here is the second test with a different name, cc, etc. on a different PC. That also failed:

I double-checked the settings, which were what you said, but it still doesn’t work. When I am logged out and try to subscribe, this is still all I see:

Your Profile
First Name *
Last Name *
Email Address *
Username ( lowercase letters and/or numbers ) *
[Below that is the credit card input area]

Very frustrating.

Actually, I tried what you suggested (i.e, logged out) but it is still not showing custom fields on my PayPal Forms registration pages (I have four of them). Here is the short code I have embedded in one of the pages (I substituted a dummy name for my actual site) [which uses the force ssl option, by the way]:

[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form level="1" ccaps="" desc="$30 USD / Monthly ( recurring charge, for ongoing access )" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www.dummyname.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="30" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="2" accept="paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover,maestro,solo" accept_via_paypal="paypal" coupon="" accept_coupons="0" default_country_code="" captcha="0" /]

All I am seeing on the registration page is this:
Your Profile
First Name *
Last Name *
Email Address *
Username ( lowercase letters and/or numbers ) *

Rather than this (which is what I am seeing on the profile section when I log in):

Username * ( cannot be changed )
Email Address *
First Name *
Last Name *
Display Name *
AIM username
Google Chat email address
New Password? ( please type it twice )
Only if changing password, otherwise leave blank.
password strength indicator

Any other suggestions?

I couldn’t resolve the problem directly, but by changing the name of the category from “Members” to something else (e.g., “Member”), it seemed to solve the problem. Perhaps the word “members” has some special significance with respect to S2Member restrictions? Regardless, you can consider this topic closed.

Actually, I just experimented with changing the status on some posts to unrestricted from restricted, and the same issue is coming up. It appears as though once something has been restricted in some way, the database is not being flushed clean if that restriction is removed. Here is the redirect URL (with my website name removed) I am getting on a post that was formerly restricted at the post level but is not now:

http://xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx.com/subscribe/?_s2member_seekingtype=post&_s2member_seekingpost=341&_s2member_seeking_uri=LzIwMTIvMDkvMjYvdS1zLWVxdWl0aWVzLWRlZmVuc2l2ZS1zaGFyZXMtaW5jcmVhc2luZ2x5LWluLWZhdm9yLw%3D%3D&_s2member_reqtype=level&_s2member_reqlevel=2&_s2member_restype=post&s2member_seeking=post-341&s2member_level_req=2

And in terms of my original query regarding a specific category that was once restricted but I tried to unrestrict, here is the URL redirect:

http://xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx.com/subscribe/?_s2member_seekingtype=catg&_s2member_seekingcatg=24&_s2member_seeking_uri=L2NhdGVnb3J5L21lbWJlcnMv&_s2member_reqtype=level&_s2member_reqlevel=0&_s2member_restype=sys&s2member_seeking=catg-24&s2member_level_req=0

In both cases, the items were formerly restricted but aren’t now. Is there a routine to flush or remove this data from where it is lingering? Is this stored in a particular file that should be written over freshly (otherwise, I have a lot of settings the way I want, so I don’t really want to have to reinstall S2Member from scratch.

Hi there — any word re: my the query I posted Saturday: Remove all restrictions for specific posts…?

That’s great. Thank you.
