Hi Boudewijn,

I just tried this on my test site and it’s working fine.

Could you try the following and then check if the text shows up when you view the site while you’re logged in?

[s2If !is_user_logged_in()]
    Content for anyone that is logged in, regardless of their Membership Level.
[/s2If]

If that doesn’t work either, then I suspect you have something else going on. There could be another plugin installed that’s causing a conflict with the parsing. You might want to use something like the Plugin Organizer plugin to disable all plugins on a specific page and then try viewing that page and seeing if the widget works. If it does, then you should try re-enabling each of the plugins until you find the conflicting one.

Also, Eduan was correct: In the PHP example you gave, you should be using == (comparison operator) not = (assignment operator).

Hi Andrew,

Please see my replies below:

Is this possible via PayPal with the free or paid plugin? Will it tally up the total?

s2Member won’t tally up the total on it’s own, no. You’d need to write a bit of code that calculates the total and then passes that onto s2Member. s2Member was not designed with shopping cart features in mind, however we’re working to improve its use in that regard with the next major release of the plugin.

Can I create pages / posts and allow users to edit them?

Currently, s2Member only provides viewing capabilities, as all s2Member roles are based upon the WordPress Subscriber role. You can manually change this using a 3rd party Role Editor plugin if necessary, but s2Member was not designed for that role.

Is it possible to create a user-profile post/page for each member based on the registration form?

Yes, to a degree. Please see Video » s2Member (Client Portals?) for more ideas about how this might work.

Hi Jeff,

If you’ve properly configured s2Member with Authorize.net’s IPN integration (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Authorize.Net® Options -› SP/IPN Integration), then s2Member should receive an IPN message from Authorize.net upon cancellation instructing s2Member to set an Automatic EOT Time for the user’s account (this message communication happens transparently on the back-end if you’ve configured IPN integration).

(You can check if this process occurred by editing the canceled users account and seeing if there’s a date in the Automatic EOT Time field.)

When the Automatic EOT Time is reached, the users account will be handled as per your settings in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Authorize.Net® Options -› Automatic EOT Behavior.

If you want to make sure everything is working, I suggest enabling logging (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Authorize.Net® Options -› Account Details -› Logging) and then checking the log messages in plugins/s2member-logs/ for more details about the IPN messages that s2Member is receiving.

Hi,

To my knowledge, s2Member doesn’t provide a password strength indicator. Could you tell me what page you’re referring to, or if you’re referring to an s2Member Pro-Form? Could you please provide a screenshot (Windows tutorial, Mac tutorial)?

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately that’s not currently possible with s2Member. As Eduan pointed out, we have Unique IP Access Restrictions for existing accounts, but preventing multiple registrations from the same IP is outside the scope of the plugin.

You may want to hire a programmer from jobs.wordpress.net to add a customization that records registered IP addresses and prevents access to future registrations from the same IP. There may also be a 3rd-party plugin that provides this functionality.

Hi Wayne,

1. When members attempt to update their user profiles, the changes are not saved and thus the feilds are updated to blank. They cannot be updated by the member, only the admin.

2. New members are required to provide Fname, Lname and Email during regustration. However, I get probably 10 new registrations per day without this info and it seems these new members do not get the activation code emailed to them.

Both of those sound like there’s a problem with the s2Member validation JavaScript loading properly on your site. Please load your registration page, then do View -> Source on your browser, and look for the line that looks like the following:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://example.com/wp-content/plugins/s2member/s2member-o.php?ws_plugin__s2member_js_w_globals......'></script>

Note that there are two lines that look similar to this: one loads the CSS and one loads the JavaScript. Both links should be accessible in your browser, but the JavaScript one is where the validation code is loaded. Try loading the URL in your browser. If you get an error, please see Knowledge Base » Mod Security, Random 503/403 Errors.

3. Members get downgraded for no apparent reason. This is a very big issue, as it happens daily. I have to login to the admin/user area, bring up the client details and S2 simply says they were demoted… not why they were demoted, but even worse, what level membership were the before the demotion.

I cannot think of any reason that would happen. Are you sure they’re being downgraded and not simply being registered with free level (again, that would most likely be caused by JavaScript or other errors loading the registration page)?

In either case, the next step in troubleshooting that problem would be to enable logging (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging), conduct another test, and then look at the log files in plugins/s2member-logs/ for clues as to what’s going on.

Hi Marc,

Are you using the s2Member Pro-Forms? If you’re using the default WordPress registration page (wp-login.php), then that setting will have no effect. You must be using a Pro-Form as part of the registration process (see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms).

Hi Luis,

Both s2Member Framework and s2Member Pro have been proven to work with all WordPress themes that are built using proper coding standards. You will need to contact your theme developer to have them resolve the issue with the conflicting JavaScript. Support for 3rd-party themes is outside the scope of our support policy (please see s2Member® » Support Policy » Outside Scope).

Hi J J,

s2Member currently utilizes the WordPress user base and authentication system. If Vantage integrates with the WordPress user base and authentication system, then there’s a good chance it will also work with s2Member.

Your best bet will be to download the free version of s2Member and use it to determine compatibility, as the s2Member Pro simply builds upon the s2Member Framework to add additional functionality.

Hi Boston,

I don’t know of any current plans to add custom taxonomy restrictions, but that may change in the future. For now, using the s2Member Advanced PHP Conditionals and Advanced Query Conditionals inside your theme templates will be the best way to control access to Custom Post Types: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals and Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced Query Conditionals.

Hi Erik,

I’m not sure what you mean… could you elaborate?

Levels in s2Member are cumulative, which means users that have a higher level gain access to content protected with a lower level. If you protect a post/page with Level 2, then a user with Level 3 will be able to access the page, because a user with Level 3 will have access to everything limited to Level 0, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3.
