Hi Zoe,

Congrats on your new job! :)

The problem you’re having is outside the the scope of s2Member’s support, but if the get_user_field() function is returning empty I suggest starting there: Does that function successfully return other user fields? If not, then is the user_id being passed properly? If other fields work, are you sure the date_recorded data is being stored in the database in the same way that other user fields are being stored?

I hope helps you narrow down the issue! :) If you’re still stuck, I suggest asking your question on the WordPress.org Support Forums or even Stack Overflow.

Alex,

It’s possible that the Security Header error is the result of your custom integration. I have no way of “checking if Express Checkout is working” on your account until I can perform a test checkout.

My only suggestions for resolving the Security Header error message are to recheck your PayPal IPN and PDT integration settings (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® IPN Integration and Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® PDT Integration) — make sure all the settings match correctly (API username, password, signature, etc.). You may also want to enable logging (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging) and see if anything useful shows up in there.

With custom integrations like the one you’re doing, it’s hard for us to diagnose problems, as they may be related to the custom integration. As per our support policy, we’re unable to assist with diagnosing custom integrations. To test if the custom integration is causing problems I suggest setting up a second test site using a fresh copy of the s2Member plugin and testing from there as well.

Hi Arthur,

Currently s2Member only supports Amazon S3 and CloudFront. All the s2Member source code is available, so if you needed to write your own integration, that would be possible.

Hi Pete,

There were a few problems with my code. Please try the updated version below:

<?php
add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_after_handle_profile_modifications', 'update_user_url');
function update_user_url($vars = array())
{
	$user = $vars&#91;'user'&#93;; // A WP_User object instance.
	wp_update_user( array ('ID' => $user->ID, 'user_url' => $_POST['ws_plugin__s2member_profile_website']) ) ;
}
?>

This code uses the wp_update_user() function instead of update_user_option(). Also note that s2Member dynamically adds the prefix ws_plugin__s2member_profile_ to the name of your custom registration field.

Zoe,

I suggest trying the hack that Jason mentioned in that other post. If you’re using the same web host as you were for that problem, there’s a good chance that will fix it.

Glad to help! :) Let us know if there’s anything else we can help with.

You’re welcome, Ralph. Let us know if there’s anything else we can help with. :)

Question 1:
Can you check that I have added paypal express checkout? I want people to be able to pay with their credit cards without signing up for paypal.

I was unable to test your PayPal account because when I tried doing a test signup on http://salearnerslicense.co.za/paypal-test/ I received the following error:

Error #10002. Security error. Security header is not valid.

This could be caused by using the wrong credentials or trying to connect to the Sandbox API URL using the Live credentials or vice versa. You should double-check that you’re using the correct API URL + account details.

Questions 2:
I have added required code, and it is still displaying the fields. Please can you check. If send me an email to alex ( a ) lab41.co I can send you access details so you can see backend.

I just looked at the test signup page again (http://salearnerslicense.co.za/paypal-test/) and the other payment options are no longer showing (see screenshot below). That would indicate the CSS is working.

Question 3:
I have a different payment method, that I need to talk to S2Member. I.e. when payment received it gives members access to level 2. I have setup a notification page URL, where it will send a success message to “http://salearnerslicense.co.za/?s2member_boxpay_notify=1″ will this work?

Are you integrating your own custom payment processor? If so, you’ll need to handle the s2Member integration yourself. In other words, you’ll need to add the necessary code to s2Member to accept the IPN messages from boxPay. Please see Pre Sale FAQs » Can I add support for other payment gateways?

Hi Thomas,

You can modify the Pro-Form templates in plugins/s2member-pro/includes/templates/forms/. If you want to prevent your changes from being overwritten on future upgrades, I believe you can simply copy your changed file to plugins/mu-plugins/ (you might want to make a backup of your changes just in case and then check to make sure changes were preserved after the next upgrade).

Changing error messages may be possible through editing plugins/s2member/includes/translations/s2member.pot or through using contextual translation filters. If neither of those work, your only option will be searching for the message in the core files and modifying them there.

Hi Greg,

As the script explains, the following issues were discovered:

[ERROR] Mcrypt/Encryption Extension - Missing Mcrypt extension.
[ERROR] cURL Extension / Or fopen() URL - PHP not compiled with OpenSSL.
[ERROR] OpenSSL Extension With openssl_sign() - PHP not compiled with OpenSSL.
[ERROR] Temporary Files Directory - Unable to find a readable/writable temporary files directory.
[WARNING] Missing $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']

You will need to fix the errors before you can use s2Member. The descriptions under each of the errors on the Server Scan page should point you in the right direction. If in doubt, I recommend contacting your web host, as these are all issues they are responsible for fixing.

Hi Maria,

It looks like your message got cut off… could you please post the rest of it?

Also, could you please confirm that you’re running the latest version of s2Member (v120622)?

Hi Zoe,

It sounds like it might related to GZIP compression or chunked file delivery. Please see the following KB article and try the various suggestions explained there:
