The only likely possibility that I can think of is that you upgraded the s2Member Framework and then didn’t update/activate the s2Member Pro addon, which gets temporarily disabled when you upgrade the Framework.

Hi Mike,

Unfortunately, I don’t believe Aweber allows you to disable the double-opt-in requirement, at least not with the email-integration, which is what s2Member is currently using to integrate with Aweber (we’re switching to their more powerful API-integration in the next major release of the plugin and I believe that may contain a feature for disabling the double-opt-in).

For now, if you want to disable double-opt-in, your only option is to use MailChimp. You can read more about disabling the double-opt-in with MailChimp here.

Hi Sam,

You are correct in that the Specific Post/Page feature of s2Member would not work for your scenario. The Specific Post/Page feature is designed for non-members and purchases of the Specific Post/Page do not get recorded on any account (since that feature is designed to work without accounts).

My next thought was to suggest Custom Capabilities, since you can sell additional Custom Capabilities to existing members on a one-time basis using the Capability Buy Now feature (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Capability (Buy Now) Forms). However, if you restrict your content to a Custom Capability and that user doesn’t have the Custom Capability, they won’t be able to see the page, which rules out your requirement to “Allow direct access to pay-per-post pages, even without having purchased access”.

However, Custom Capabilities can still be used: You simply don’t restrict the content to the Custom Capability using the s2Member Restrictions. Instead, you leave the page unrestricted and create a conditional on the post/page that checks if the user has the Custom Capability required for that post/page. If they don’t have the Custom Capability, you show a message that lets them purchase it. If they do have it, you show the premium content. This method will also allow the pages to appear in the Archives.

The conditionals you’d use are Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Simple/Shortcode Conditionals.

For example:

[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_premium_content1)]
    Show Capability Buy Now form to purchase the 'premium_content1' Custom Capability and get access to this premium content
[/s2If]

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_premium_content1)]
    Show the premium content
[/s2If]

Hi Jason,

You’d need to take this up with the Gravity Forms developers. You can execute any of the s2Member shortcodes via PHP like this:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[s2member-shortcode]'); ?>

With that, you should be able to customize Gravity Forms to pre-fill with whatever s2Member shortcode you want.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll take this into consideration for a future update to s2Member.

A few other things I’d recommend checking:

1) Have you successfully logged in as that ‘corporate’ user in the normal way (e.g., using the login form)? You mentioned that the login column showed zero logins, so I suggest trying to login as that user at least once to make sure that much is working.

2) Have you tried disabling all other WordPress plugins? It’s possible there is a plugin conflict somewhere that’s preventing this from working properly. You may also want to see the Common Troubleshooting Tips.

You’re most welcome! Glad we could help. :)

Hi Michelle,

If you don’t want to change their EOT date, you cannot change their subscription unless you do lots of fancy programatic calculations with PHP to determine their EOT date and then set the new subscription to expire after X number of days, where X is the number of days until the current EOT.

However, it sounds like you’re just trying to give someone access to new ccaps. If that’s the case, you can “sell” ccaps on a one-time basis through the Capability Buy Now forms (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Capability (Buy Now) Forms). However, if you want to sell ccaps that change the recurring subscription, you’ll need to use a Billing Modification form (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Billing Modification Forms) and that will change the EOT (the new EOT will be whatever you configured the Billing Modification form for).

If you want to dynamically configure the Billing Modification form so that it automatically calculates the correct length of the new subscription by basing it on the current EOT, you’ll need to use dynamic shortcode attributes.

Hi Echomango,

s2Member provides cancellation forms and buttons for this very purpose. Please see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Subscr. Cancellation Buttons and Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Billing Cancellation Forms. Simply place a button or form on a “Cancellation” page and then point your user to that page if they want to cancel their subscription.

Hi Genie,

What do the logs in wp-content/plugins/s2member-logs/ say? If you don’t see anything in there, please enable logging (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging), conduct another test, and then check the logs.

Also please download this Server Check Tool, upload the PHP file to your WordPress directory, and then load the URL to the file in your browser. It will run a bunch of tests to determine if there’s anything amiss on the server-side.

Hi Heather,

s2Member unfortunately does not have any feature to generate a chart or list of what you’re offering. You’ll need to create that chart yourself and then insert the s2Member-generated PayPal buttons into the chart. Or, if you have s2Member Pro, you can use the Pro-Forms to generate Pro-Form shortcodes that generate signup forms where your visitor can fill out all their details and then proceed to checkout.

Hello,

You don’t get that from s2Member. You’ll set it in your Authorize.Net® Merchant account, under: Account -> Settings.
