Hi Joanne,

Showing us the code from functions.php that you’re referring to would be very helpful. Also, if you could copy/paste the URL that you’re being redirected to when logging out (the one with all the MOP variables; please show us the full URL), that would also be helpful.

The only reason s2Member should redirect you to the Membership Options Page after logout is if the page you’re being redirected to is protected by s2Member (i.e., the now-logged-out user doesn’t have access to the page).

Hi Michael,

You could use a Specific Post/Page transaction (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Specific Post/Page (Buy Now) Forms) to “sell” access to a page that contains the form. You’d then need to implement your own method of determining whether the user has already submitted the form, possibly using some kind of one-time token tied to the IP address of the person submitting the form.

That second part would be a custom feature that you’d need to implement on your own. As per our support policy (please see s2Member® » Support Policy » Outside Scope), we are unable to assit with custom features.

You’re most welcome, Andrew! Glad to help. :)

When you import users into s2Member, you can specify in the CSV file an Automatic EOT Date. This is the date that s2Member will automatically end their membership (exactly what happens is determined in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Automatic EOT Behavior). If you don’t currently have Automatic EOT Dates for those users but you do have their registration date and their term, then you can calculate their EOT dates using that information (e.g., if a member registered on January 1st, 2012 and has a 12-month term, their Automatic EOT Date would be January 1st, 2013).

s2Member uses the WordPress users database, so all information is stored there.

If you want to create a free registration form, you can do so in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms (requires s2Member Pro).

If you want to create a coupon code to provide a discount on a signup form, you can do so in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Pro Coupon Codes (required s2Member Pro). To create a coupon code for a free registration, please see Knowledge Base » Offering a Free Coupon Code (100% Discount).

The s2Member import features require s2Member Pro. If you wish to utilize the importation of s2Member-specific features, such as Automatic EOT Times, you most likely won’t be able to use a 3rd-party plugin.

Hi Doug,

You could probably use ws_plugin__s2member_during_paypal_notify_during_subscr_payment.

Please see the PayPal Hooks/Filters for a complete list of hooks. That page also shows where in the s2Member code the hook exists, so you should be able to figure out from there which hook makes the most sense for your scenario.

You can certainly have the secondary membership signup form add a Custom Capability to those secondary accounts, that way you as the administrator and differentiate between primary and secondary accounts.

As for the problem with people giving out the password, the only solution I can think of is to create authentication codes that can only be used one time. If the code has already been used to access the signup form, present a message saying that it has expired. Then you can offer each Primary Member a fixed number of codes (e.g., 5 access codes) and then require them to contact you if they need more.

Hi John,

Yes, this is possible using s2Member conditionals. Please see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Simple/Shortcode Conditionals for more information.

Hi Kath,

I looked at your log files and I noticed several instances where the logs indicated the following:

Unable to modify Subscription. The existing User ID is associated with an Administrator. Stopping here. Otherwise, an Administrator could lose access. Please make sure that you are NOT logged in as an Administrator while testing.

Could you please re-test, making sure that you’re fully logged out and that you’ve cleared your browser cookies?

I also noticed some log entires that indicated s2Member should’ve sent the signup confirmation email. If you never received a signup confirmation email during your tests, could you please confirm that you’ve installed and configured the WP Mail SMTP plugin as described here?

Hi Angela,

Have you tried using a snippet of PHP instead of the shortcode to see if the problem only exists with shortcodes?

<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_FIRST_NAME; ?>

(You’ll need to have the Exec-PHP Plugin installed for this to work inside pages/posts.)

Hi Nic,

Have you taken a look at the video tutorials?

This series on file downloads in particular should help:

Hi Jana,

Are you referring to the Zip Code field that shows up when you select a Credit Card on the Pro-Form (i.e., the billing zip code)? Or is this a Custom Registration Field that you added through Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields?

You’re most welcome! :)

s2Member currently integrates with iDevAffiliate and ShareASale. It is possible to integrate with other affiliate programs (see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Tracking -› Other Tracking Methods), but the integration would be up to you.

Mike,

Does the Email Log plugin show any emails sent to MailChimp for new subscribers?

Could you please double-check the MailChimp List IDs that you added to Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› MailChimp® and confirm they are correct.

For testing purposes, keep in mind that you can edit an existing user and check the box that says “Re-process List Servers”. When you click Update User, s2Member will reattempt the list subscription for that user.
