Hi Mike,

s2Member does not currently have any “shopping cart” functionality. However, you could add that functionality with some custom code to build a specific subscription that includes all the options the user selected. You would need to use the s2Member Custom Capability feature as well.

Hi Doug,

As cassel mentioned, the answer is Yes, you can do that. :)

Hi Wayne,

I’m not sure where you want to hide the email address field from, but this should be a simply CSS fix where you add a display:none; rule for the class or ID associated with that field.

If you’re referring to signup pages, then it will be a bit more tricky, as WordPress requires the email address. You’d need to use a bit of JavaScript and CSS to hide the email address field but also pre-fill it with an email address.

Hi Wayne,

When the customer is returned to the site after payment, s2Member displays one of two messages: Either “Click here to Register” or “Check your email for a registration link”. The reason for this is that s2Member needs to know from PayPal if the payment was successful. Sometimes PayPal sends the response right away and s2Member can show the customer a “click here to register” message. But if PayPal doesn’t send the response right away, s2Member needs to wait for the confirmation of payment. In that case, s2Member tells the customer to check their email for the registration link. When s2Member receives the response from PayPal (sometimes a few minutes later), it sends the email to the customer with the registration link.

If you want to avoid all of this and make the process smoother, we recommend using the s2Member Pro-Forms. Using the Pro-Forms, the user will register on your site before they are sent to PayPal to pay. At this point they are registered on your site as a Free Subscriber (Level 0) and when s2Member receives confirmation of payment from PayPal, it will upgrade the users level from Free Subscriber (Level 0) to whatever level they’re signing up for.

Hi Jakob,

As Christian mentioned, you would need to manually modify the s2Member roles to achieve what you’re describing. All of the s2Member roles are based on the WordPress Subscriber role capabilities, so if you require s2Member Level roles to have other capabilities, you’ll need to modify those yourself.

Hi Abbe,

I’ll send a message to Jason (the lead developer) to see if he can offer some clarification on this. I know he’s hard at work on the next major release of the plugin, but he always gets to his emails. Thank you for your patience.

Hi Reid,

1. Are you able to show me where I can get a login widget similar to that used to login to S2 member? (I.e where you click “login” and the login box appears)

s2Member Pro provides the Pro Login Widget (Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets -> Pro Login Widget). If you need to style or modify the default widget in some way (for example, to make it look like the one on s2member.com), you’ll need to make those customizations/modifications yourself. If you’re not comfortable with HTML/JavaScript/CSS, you may want to post a job on jobs.wordpress.net.

2. I wish to integrate s2member with a different mail chimp auto responder that is dependent on the level of membership. The auto responders will then deliver a weekly exercise plan.

My question is: s2member allows users to automatically transition between mail chimp auto responder lists, though when a customer transitions, will they still retain their same time based point in the new auto responder list they have joined?

For example – a customer is on week 5 of the “beginner” exercise plan auto responder within mailchimp and then upgrades to the “intermediate” exercise plan via s2members membership level transition capabilities. Will they then begin receiving the intermediate exercise plan autoresponder series from week 6 or will mail chimp revert them back to week 1 of the intermediate exercise plan auto responder series?

That would depend on how MailChimp handles AutoResponders and Lists. To my knowledge, MailChimp would treat an existing subscriber being moved to a new list (i.e., transitioned) the same as a new subscriber who was just added to the list. That would mean any auto responders you have set up in MailChimp would not start from Week 6, but rather start over at Week 1.

Again, this is particular to how MailChimp works and I could very well be mistaken. If MailChimp’s Auto Responders are using original signup date to determine when emails should be sent out, then I would think that subscribers would continue from Week 6 instead of starting over from Week 1. I recommend contacting the MailChimp support team and asking them for clarification.

Hi Shawn,

The example that Jason provided does not need to be on a separarte site. You can use that same method to create a redirect URL on just one site. Simply add that code to a PHP file and place that file in wp-content/mu-plugins/ and then call http://yoursite.com/?clickbank=redirect.

Moving the code to a page header is not quite so simple, since WordPress pages and headers are dynamic. Which header would you add it to? How would you detect when the redirect should happen? (e.g., does it only happen when you’re viewing a specific WordPress Page/Post?) You’d need to add code to answer all of those things if you want to put it in a page header somewhere.

Glad to help! :)

Hi Anthony,

s2Member does not have this functionality built-in, but you could create some custom code that hooks into the s2Member Notifications feature (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Notifications. When a specific event is triggered, you’d call a PHP script that makes the necessary modification in the database.

If you need to hire a programmer to do this, we recommend jobs.wordpress.net.

Thank you for the update, Genie! That’s great to hear! :)

Thanks for the KUDOS, Colin. :) Glad to hear you’re enjoying s2Member!
