Hi Rick,

You should be able to find everything you need by modifying the Pro-Form templates. Please see Pre Sale FAQs » Is it possible to modify s2Member® Pro Form templates?

Paul,

Thank you very much for the information!

Hi Dan,

The badge should not be loading with a hard link; the link should be relative and automatically use http or https depending on how you load the page. Could you do a View Source on your page, inspect the code, and then copy/paste here the part that loads the security badge?

Hi Nigel,

You can certainly edit the accept= attribute and remove any of the values that are not appropriate.

Hi Jaun,

s2Member doesn’t control access to things like limiting the quantity of users that can be created by other users.

s2Member is designed to control access to content (e.g., WordPress posts/pages and downloadable files) and to sell that content. It sounds like you need something that also controls access to administrative functions of WordPress (e.g., creating users).

The Network Support License is designed for multisite networks running blog farms, but the s2Member functionality itself doesn’t control things like administrator accounts on sub-domains, etc. The multisite support for s2Member extends the availability of the s2Member plugin to sub-sites, but it’s up to each sub-site to create and manage their own s2Member installation.

Hi Marc,

Have you generated and set your WordPress Security Keys?

Hi Will,

Yes, you can migrate paying users to a multisite installation in the future if needed.

Hi Nick,

Have you checked your s2member-files directory and confirmed that there is an .htaccess file in there? s2Member should’ve created one in there with all the necessary rules.

Hi Morten,

That is all correct.

The video below may help with understanding Specific Posts/Pages:

Hello,

Please see my replies below:

1. Can you please elaborate on “How can I allow Free Registration?” FAQ. I can’t understand it fully. I am planning to use S2 to manage/control users access but I do not need members to pay (not yet). I need at least 4 user type who can register for free but should have different access.

The following video explains how you can have multiple registration with free levels: Video » s2Member (Free Registration On Multiple Levels?)

2. How do you prevent sharing of username/passwords? Is it from a cookie on users machine or from a database flag? How long do you usually keep the session alive when user is not making any activity (browsing). Our site will contain mainly of video files. Hence, most user can stay on the site idle but they are not actually idle because they are watching videos. Can your system prevents user from idling while watching so that the session won’t expire and no other user can use the username/password?

s2Member uses IP Access Restrictions to limit username/password sharing. After you install the free version of the plugin, please see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Unique IP Access Restrictions for more information.

Session expiry is based on the WordPress Login Expiration, which I believe is 48 hours by default. You can change this, however, by following these instructions.

3. How extensive is your custom profile fields support? Does it support conditional fields based on previous fields. IE, in city, does the option changes based on country selected? Can I create custom fields that will be required during registrations?

We do not yet support conditional fields, however you can create custom fields that will be required during registration.

4. In what aspects your script is better than magic members? Do you have comparative chart?

We do not have a comparative chart, however you may be interested in these words from the lead developer. Also, s2Member has a very powerful free version of the plugin and all the source code (for both the free version and the paid version) are not encrypted — they are available for you to modify if needed.

5. Are custom fields stored on same table as WP user?

Currently, Custom Field data is stored in a serialized array in the wp_usermeta table, under the meta_key wp_s2member_custom_fields. However, in the next major release of s2Member, we wil be changing this so that custom field data is stored in its own table.

6. According to your FAQ I may need some assistance on making the site SSL, how much level of knowledge do I require to be able to make my site SSL support. Is there a step by step instruction to do it?

Setting up SSL on your site is specific to your server and your hosting environment. We recommend contacting your web host for assistance installing SSL Certificates. Once you have SSL running on your site, s2Member is designed to automatically work with it.

Hi Darren,

I’m going send Jason (the lead developer) a message and see if he can take a look at this. Thank you for your patience.

Hi Paul,

Yes, I believe a change in list would cause AWeber to resend the confirmation email anyway (you can do a test to confirm). To my knowledge, this was due to a limitation with AWeber’s API. We are still working to improve integration with AWeber and the next major release of the software should see improved support.
