Hi Victor,

Yes, there are known issues with W3TC and s2Member. Let us know if you continue to have problems.

Hi Yogakumara,

Yes, you can create accounts manually. If you have your own payment system that you handle offline, you can simply create the membership accounts manually. Please see Pre Sale FAQs » Can I create new Membership accounts manually with s2Member?

Hi Robert,

I don’t have any information on a release date for the next major release of s2Member, but I know we’re hard at work on it and nearing a beta release. I will send Jason (the lead developer) a note about your question regarding the API and see if he can offer any insight.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi George,

Here’s how the s2Member -> AWeber integration works: When someone subscribes to your site, s2Member will send an email to AWeber containing information about this new subscriber (that test example you pasted above is an example of the email that s2Member sends to AWeber).

When AWeber receives that email, it uses the email parser (in this case, the s2Member Custom Email Parser that you created) to grab the information in the email and subscribe the user to the list.

The list that the user gets subscribed to is determined by your configuration in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› AWeber®. So, the first thing I would double-check is that you’re testing signups with an s2Member Level that you’ve configured to be subscribed to an AWeber list (if you’re testing with Level 1 signups, but you only have an AWeber list configured for Level 2, then test signups won’t do anything with AWeber).

The other thing you should be aware of is the 12-hour rule. You can also use a neat trick to BCC yourself a copy of the email that s2Member is sending to AWeber, so you can see exactly what is being sent (then you can copy and paste that data into the Custom Email Parser Test box on AWeber to see if your Custom Parser is working properly). Both the 12-hour rule and the BCC trick are described here.

Finally, if you’re still having trouble, I recommend taking a look at Knowledge Base » Troubleshooting Email Delivery Problems.

Hi Angel,

s2Member does not currently have any concept of “number of items available for purchase”, but you could certainly hire a programmer to make such a feature possible.

While s2Member has features similar to a shopping cart, the plugin is geared towards memberships. You can sell individual Custom Capabilities, similar to selling individual products, but if you want to limit the number of Custom Capabilities that can be sold, you’ll need to add that functionality through some custom programming.

If you need to hire a programmer, we recommend posting your job on jobs.wordpress.net.

Hi Elise,

It sounds like many aspects of this can be controlled with s2Member, but there are a few parts that you’ll either need to hire a programmer to make the customizations or find 3rd party plugins that make this possible.

For example, the s2Member Level roles are based on the WordPress Subscriber role capabilities, which only allows the viewing of content; s2Member users cannot access the WordPress back-end (which I suspect might be necessary for creating/accessing “projects, sponsorship goals, and current donations”).

If you’ll be utilizing BuddyPress for all these things, then you should be able to utilize the URI access restrictions to limit access to various URLs depending on the members level (see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions).

Regarding donations and the transferring of money from PayPal to the users account: You could handle one-time payments from s2Member users by using the Capability Buy now buttons (see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Capability (Buy Now) Forms), however once the money is in your PayPal account, you’ll need to handle the outgoing payments to others (or have a programmer work out a system for making that work).

We don’t offer any custom programming services here (for s2Member or otherwise), but we do recommend posting your job on jobs.wordpress.net.

Hi David,

If you’d like to lodge a dispute, please use the Private Contact Form.

Thank you for the update, Mary! Glad to hear you solved it.

Hi Mark,

I’ve just tested this on my own site and it’s all working for me with the latest version of WordPress and s2Member (with or without ?s2-ssl=yes).

It sounds like you may have an issue with the SSL configuration on your server, or your .htaccess file may be improperly configured, which could be causing the redirect loop.

The other thing I recommend checking is that everywhere you specify the domain, you either use www or no-www. Mixing the two can cause lots of problems (see Knowledge Base » Don't mix www and without).

Hi Allan,

Can you please share the log entires from the log files in plugins/s2member-logs/ related to the recurring transaction where you expected an email to be sent?

Also, have you read Knowledge Base » Troubleshooting Email Delivery Problems and installed the Email Log plugin? What does the Email Log say after a recurring payment goes through?

It sounds like you just need to pass that $_POST data along when you reload the page. There are various ways to do that, but it all depends on how you’re reloading the page and how you’re checking if there are errors.

(FYI, these types of issues are usually resolved by doing client-side error checking and not even POSTing the data until the form has been completed properly.)

It’s hard to offer more advice here without seeing how the whole thing works.

Victor,

Is the ‘First Name’ field that you’re referring to the one created by WordPress?

Or are you creating your own Custom Registration Field called ‘First Name’ and expecting people to fill that out in addition to the WordPress Name field? If you’re creating your own Custom Registration Field, then please make sure that it’s set to ‘Required’ in the options for that field.

Regarding the duplicate entries in the database: Are you running any custom code? Which entries are duplicated? Which table/row are the entries in? Could you copy/paste some of the duplicate data so we can see what you’re referring to?

Hi Michael,

If you need to programmatically create a registration link, you’ll need to use the register_link_gen() function. Making this custom integration will require knowledge of PHP programming. If you’re not comfortable with PHP, we recommend posting your job on jobs.wordpress.net. We’re unable to assist with custom integrations as per our support policy.
