If you search the user_meta table for entries that have ‘s2′, you should find the ones related to IPs.

I don’t have an official list of new features / enhancements that Jason (the lead developer) is working on for the next major release of the software, but we have had several requests for the ability to see IP access logs in a report form, or at the very least improve how they’re stored in the database so that extensions/hacks can be written to show that data, so I know it’s being considered.

Could you please copy/paste here the shortcode for your PayPal Pro-Form?

Also, have you enabled logging in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging?

Hi John,

To accomplish that, you’ll probably need to disable the s2Member CSS altogether (see How can I prevent s2Member® Pro from loading it’s default CSS?) and then manually style the entire Pro-Form yourself, adjusting the various field sizes as you see fit.

I just checked my spam box and it was in there. Any suggestions on how to get gmail to avoid spamming this?

There are a variety of possible reasons why such an email would go to spam. Google’s spam filters look for things in emails that indicate it might be spam, including words in the subject line, body of the message, TO email (“FakeGray” might be considered a spammy name to Google), and even things far more “background” like which server on the Internet that email was sent from (if you’re on a shared hosting server and another website on the same server was spammy, the IP address for that server might have been added to a spam list that Google looks at).

So my recommendation is to try different TO and FROM email addresses and see if they still go to spam. You can also try configuring WordPress to send all your emails through Google’s SMTP server, so that the emails get authenticated that way instead of being sent directly from your web server. This usually solves most problems. (See Troubleshooting Email Delivery Problems.)

Hi Simone,

s2Member can certainly handle these scenarios. All of the various membership durations can be found in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Membership Level # Buttons for the Framework and additionally in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Membership Level # Forms if you have s2Member Pro.

With s2Member Framework, you are limited to 4 membership levels + free level. If you need 6 levels of membership, you’ll need to upgrade to s2Member Pro, which allows you to add an unlimited number of membership levels.

Upgrades or downgrades from one level to another, including changes to subscription rate and amount, is handled with Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Subscr. Modification Buttons in s2Member Framework and additionally with Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Billing Modification Forms in s2Member Pro.

With regards to bank transfers: You would need to handle the bank transfer outside s2Member and then manually “approve” the users’ account when you’ve confirmed the transfer. Approving an account would simply involve changing the users’ role from Level 0 (Free Subscriber) to the correct paid membership level. With s2Member Pro, you can create a page specifically for people wanting to pay via bank transfer and on that page show them a Free Registration Form (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms) along with instructions for submitting the bank transfer.

To differentiate regular Free Subscribers from Free Subscribers who paid via Bank Transfer, you could create a Custom Registration Field (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields) that asks the user to include the bank transfer receipt number so that you can use that to match their account to the actual bank transfer when you go to confirm it.

Hi Leo,

If you want to apply this to all pages automatically, you can use a custom WordPress Page Template. With that, you could create a WordPress Page template that is customized to include that conditional PHP code and then when you publish a new page you simply select the page template you created.

Creating a custom WordPress Page Template is outside the scope of s2Member Support, but if you need assistance with that I can recommend wordpress.stackexchange.com or the WordPress.org Support Forums. Alternatively, you might want to post a job on jobs.wordpress.net.

Hi Jorge,

That article explains how to add Custom Capabilities. Please see the section above the graphic that explains how you can use the PayPal Item ID to pass Custom Capabilities to s2Member in the button.

Hi Terry,

Such a customization is outside the scope of the s2Member support (see Support Policy). If you need to hire a programmer to help code this feature, we recommend posting a job on jobs.wordpress.net. You can see an example of you can update an s2Member Custom Registration Field here.

Chase,

I just clicked on http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/integrate-eway/#post-14539 and it took me straight to the post where there’s an edit box at the bottom letting me post a reply. Is that not what you see?

Hi Goose,

Please see my replies below:

Is there a way to just have s2 member automatically display a portion of the existing posts (and future posts) and then have a link at the bottom that says “To read the full post, please register for free”? Then when the user registers, they get redirected back to the full post and are a registered member. Is this possible with s2 Member?

Yes, this is absolutely possible. Normally I would recommend using the s2Member Shortcode Conditionals (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Simple/Shortcode Conditionals), however if you have several thousand posts, it would be a lot easier to edit your theme’s single.php file and add the necessary PHP conditionals (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals) to check if the user is logged in. You can use the WordPress the_excerpt() function (docs here) to show the excerpt along with a register link to anyone who isn’t logged in.

As a second question, we may want to offer a second category of premium content down the road that users would register (upgrade?) to get access to. Is there a mechanism where the users currently registered could then upgrade for free which would give them access to the free and the premium content categories?

Yes, you can restrict categories of content in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Category Access Restrictions. Then, you show existing members an upgrade button (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Subscr. Modification Buttons) to allow that user to upgrade their account to a Level that gives access to the category of content.

Glad I could help! :)
