Hi Bill,

You’d need to use the WordPress functions to accomplish this — this is not related to s2Member. Please see the WordPress Codex for Comment, Ping, and Trackback functions for more information.

Hi Robert,

I do not know of any immediate plans to integrate that payment gateway, however I know that the next major release of s2Member will have a better way of handling payment gateways that should make adding support for payment gateways easier.

Thank you for the update, Diasz! Glad to hear you figured it out. :)

Hi Richard,

Apologies for not being clear. As far as I know, this limitation, which is imposed by PayPal itself, still exists and ERP subscriptions must be cancelled manually.

You may have already seen this thread, but it contains further information on this topic (while it is slightly dated, I haven’t heard anything new on this topic since that thread).

I’m sending a message to the lead developer to double-check that this is still the case with ERP cancellations. Thank you for your patience.

Hi Douglas,

If you restricted the “video” tag to Level 1, 2 and 3, then only Level 3 users will be able to see the content. Try restricting it to only Level 1.

Hello,

This sounds like there might be an issue with the IPN communication between PayPal and your server. The best route of diagnosis will be through looking at the log files and attempting to determine which IPN messages are not being received.

If I’m not mistaken, I believe PayPal has a dashboard where you can see which IPN messages were sent and whether they were successfully received. You should also be able to resend specific IPN messages from that dashboard.

Hello,

s2Member does use that function, however if another plugin handles it, s2Member will simply show the following message in the Email Configuration section (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Email Configuration):

Conflict warning: You have another theme or plugin installed that is preventing s2Member from controlling this aspect of your installation. When the pluggable function wp_new_user_notification() is handled by another plugin, it’s not possible for s2Member to allow customization of New User Emails. This is NOT a major issue. In fact, in some cases, it might be desirable. That being said, if you DO want to use s2Member’s customization of New User Emails, you will need to deactivate one plugin at a time until this conflict warning goes away.

Hi Nigel,

The Pro-Form Quick Start Guide, which can be found inside the plugin (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Quick Start Guide), explains what you should do if you want to use the Pro-Forms without the PayPal Pro service:

*PayPal® Pro is NOT Absolutely Required* s2Member is very flexible. It is now possible to integrate Pro Forms without a PayPal® Pro account, whereby the enhanced Form Shortcodes that s2Member provides can be integrated ONLY with PayPal® Express Checkout. In other words, if you get declined for PayPal® Pro service, you can still use s2Member Pro Forms. Ask PayPal® to activate Express Checkout for you. ( it’s free ). Once Express Checkout is enabled, you will have access to your PayPal® API Credentials. Log into your PayPal® account, and navigate to Profile -> API Access (or Request API Credentials). You’ll choose ( Request API Signature ). Now … here is the tricky part; whenever you generate a Pro Form Shortcode with s2Member, be sure to change accept=”paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover,maestro,solo” to just accept=”paypal”; thereby excluding the on-site credit card processing functionality; which is available only with PayPal® Pro.

Hi Fiona,

Could you please try this suggestion and see if that fixes the problem for you?

Hi Daryl,

The hooks for subscriptions will be related to your payment gateway, however many of the payment gateways utilize the PayPal hooks, so that’s where you’ll most likely find what you need. For registrations, you’ll want to look into the Registrations hooks and for subscription expirations, you’ll want to look at the Auto EOT System hooks.

The documentation links the hooks to the place in the source code where each hook is placed, so that should allow you to determine if it’s the hook you need.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your constructive criticism. We’re constantly working to improve the way s2Member works while building our knowledge base and available video tutorials. All of the source code for both the s2Member Framework and s2Member Pro is made available for customization; code documentation is available through the s2Member Codex.

Please see s2Member® » Terms » Refund Policy for further details on returns and please use the Private Contact Form for any further inquires regarding returns.

Hi Michael,

When you sign up using a Pro-Form, where do you get redirected after successful payment?

If you’re not being returned to your site at all then that would indicate a problem with your PDT/Auto-Return configuration (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® PDT Integration). I would also recommend double-checking that you’ve configured your PayPal account with the correct Auto-Return URL.

Hi JW,

I’m not aware of any plans to integrate the First Data Global payment gateway at this time, although that may change in the future.

With regards to support: We will not support your custom integration, but the rest of s2Member will continue to be supported. If there are problems with your custom integration or problems related to the custom integration, we won’t be able to assist with that.

As far as upgrades, you’ll be responsible for making sure that future upgrades to s2Member don’t break your custom integration.

Please see s2Member® » Support Policy for full details on our support policy.
