Yes, that sounds correct. :)

Hi Lavish,

s2Member’s BuddyPress integration works by restricting specific URIs. You can restrict a set of URI endpoints to a particular membership level. Please install the free version of the plugin and then visit Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions for more details.

Thank you for the update. We will definitely consider doing a video for this.

Hi David,

Hi Carrie,

Hi George,

The s2Member Network Multisite license does allow you to restrict the number of subblogs a member can create depending on their membership level, however you’d need to use a 3rd party plugin to restrict the plugins allowed to those users. s2Member only limits the number of subsites a member can create in a Multisite network.

Hi Andrew,

I’m really not sure what the problem is. Could you please share the code you’re using so I can understand better?

Hi Ben,

Please see my replies below:

A. Does s2member provide the option to create a page that displays a Member List database? Such a database should include the 10 fields mentioned above, provide search capabilities, and display only limited profile info to the public (while full profile info to logged-in members.)

No, s2Member does not have any mechanism for listing members or creating a member directory. If you need this feature, you’ll need to find another WordPress plugin that lists WordPress users, or write your own code to have this done (WordPress provides functions for retrieving a list of users). All s2Member users are WordPress users, so any WordPress plugin that creates a directory using WordPress users should work.

B. If yes to (A), is it capable to add an “automatic removal” feature whereby the member is removed from the Member List database if the member does not pay annual dues?

Yes, when a s2Member’s subscription expires (or if there is a failed payment), s2Member can be configured to delete the user (see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Automatic EOT Behavior).

C. Does s2member allow for facebook connect, whereby the sign-up fields can be pre-populated with the member’s facebook details?

s2Member does not currently provide this feature, however you may be able to find a 3rd Party plugin that provides this feature. Otherwise, you could create your own custom integration using the many s2Member Hooks that we make available (see s2Member Hooks).

D. Does s2member work with the Genesis Framework for WP?

s2Member is simply a WordPress plugin that allows you to generate forms and buttons for various payment gateways and restrict various posts/pages/categories/tags/URIs. s2Member should work with the Genesis Framework, however we recommend testing it with the free version of s2Member just to be sure.

Hi Mary,

Another thing I would check is the communication between your server and PayPal. If you’re suddenly not getting anything in the IPN log that would indicate that PayPal is unable to communicate with your server.

The first thign I’d recommend is downloading this Server Check Tool, uploading the PHP file to your WordPress directory, and then loading 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.

If that checks out, I recommend going to your PayPal account and looking for the IPN transaction log. It shows you whether PayPal’s attempt to send IPN messages were successful or not. It might show what error (if any) is being reported.

Hi Luke,

You may want to post this in the Community Forum to see if any other s2Member users have any recommendations. Adding a custom Payment Gateway is an advanced task that requires knowledge of PHP. If you’re not comfortable with PHP, we recommend posting your job on jobs.wordpress.net.

Hi Barry,

For problems with emails, please see Knowledge Base » Troubleshooting Email Delivery Problems.

For a tutorial on how Custom Capabilities work, please see Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities).

With Custom Capabilities, you don’t need to create a custom capability for each page, you can simply create one Custom Capability and the restrict a selection of pages to that Custom Capability (when you edit the page, there’s an s2Member box on the page that has a field for entering the required Custom Capabilities).

The 100% free voucher system is a custom solution and our support policy is limited in what we can offer in terms of support for custom code. If you’re not comfortable with PHP, we recommend posting your job on jobs.wordpress.net.

Great, thanks for the update, Hamid!

Hi Ralph,

Are you running s2Member Pro? Could you tell me which version you’re running?
