Hi Amanda,

The first part — multiple tiers, higher tiers having access to everything granted to lower tiers — is already a function of s2Member. The levels within s2Member are all cumulative, meaning higher levels have access to everything granted to lower levels.

Regarding the second question about giving access to content for one specific user, you could either assign them their own unique Custom Capability (see Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities)) and then tag their content with the Custom Capability, or you could use something like Client Portals (see Video » s2Member (Client Portals?)).

Hi Ben,

The problem is that the s2Member JavaScript that handles validation is only designed to work on the wp-login.php page. If you copy/paste the form code somewhere else, you’ll need to either modify the s2Member JavaScript or create your own validation for the form.

As per our support policy, custom programming and custom modifications to s2Member are not supported (please see s2Member® » Support Policy » Outside Scope).

Hi Nick,

Can you tell us what URLs you’re trying that are not working?

Hi Brad,

It sounds like you’ve made some modifications to s2Member to make it work with your scenario. Could you please share those modifications so we can determine if the problem lies there?

Hi Avi,

You can manually add users and set their expiration date (Automatic EOT Time) while leaving the Payment Gateway blank. If you want to keep track of things like payment amounts, etc., you’ll need to use the Administrative Notes section on the user’s profile.

Hi Dave,

s2Member is not designed to allow members to post content to the site. All the s2Member level role capabilities are based on the WordPress Subscriber role, which means they can only view posts/pages and post comments. You could potentially use a role editor plugin to modify the roles to allow posting capabilities, but this would not be supported by s2Member.

Hi Joseph,

This isn’t currently possible with the s2Member Pro-Forms unless you modify the Pro-Form templates yourself and add the necessary JavaScript. Please see here for more info.

Hi Dan,

Unfortunately they wouldn’t have access to any payment history.

We understand the need for a payment history and we’re working on improving this aspect in the next major release of s2Member.

Hi James,

This could also 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.

Hi Viktor,

Please see my replies below:

1. Is it upgradeable from single-site license to unlimited-site license ?

Yes, after you purchase your single-site license, you will have the option to upgrade to an unlimited-site license from within your s2Member.com for the difference in the price.

2. I’m using local payment gateway, does the payment gateway module easy to extend ?

Please see Pre Sale FAQs » Can I add support for other payment gateways?

3. I’m also using self hosted autoresponder, can i extend to support it as well ?

Please see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› Other Integration Methods:

Other List Server Integrations ( there’s always a way )

Check the s2Member API Notifications panel. You’ll find additional layers of automation available through the use of the `Signup`, `Registration`, `Payment`, `EOT/Deletion`, `Refund/Reversal`, and `Specific Post/Page` Notifications that are available to you through the s2Member API. These make it possible to integrate with 3rd party applications; like list servers, affiliate programs, and other back-office routines; in more advanced ways. You will probably need to get help from a web developer though. s2Member API Notifications require some light PHP scripting by someone familiar with web service connections.

Hello Pushparaj,

Please make sure you’re not using an account that already exists within s2Member. Also, please clear your browser cache and delete all your cookies when testing, otherwise s2Member might detect that you already registered.

Hi Avi,

This is certainly possible but it would require a little custom PHP programming to determine the current date and then set the properties of the signup form accordingly.

So, if on a specific date (or between two specific dates) you wanted to offer 3 months free followed by a paid membership for 1 year, you could do that using the Free/Trial period on the Pro-Form shortcode (s2Member Pro is required for Pro-Forms).

We don’t support the custom programming, so you’d need to hire a programmer to do that part. It wouldn’t be too much work as it’s really just manipulating the s2Member shortcode based upon various rules related to the current date.
