Hi Deyson,

This thread from the old forum about changing front-end messages may be what you’re looking for:

If you want to actually make changes to the login-widget.inc.php file, you can try making a copy and then placing your modified file in wp-content/mu-plugins/. Upgrades to s2Member won’t override your modified file in that directory.

Hi Zoe,

s2Member does not currently support SagePay. There also isn’t a pluggable payment gateway system for s2Member, so creating an add-on that wasn’t affected by s2Member upgrades wouldn’t be possible at this time.

We are looking into the possibility of making the next major release of s2Member more compatible with other payment gateways and possibly even making a pluggable system that would allow you to create your own payment gateway add-ons.

Hi Paul,

s2Member allows you to sell access to protected posts/pages on a one-off basis through a feature called Specific Post/Page Access. You can generate a purchase button for the post/page and present it on your site. After a user completes the purchase they will receive an email with an access link to that post/page. The link will only be valid for a specific period of time, depending on what you chose when you generated the purchase button.

s2Member does not have any option to choose the “number of views” per page, but rather allows you to set the length of time the URL should be valid (e.g., 2 hours, 3 days, etc.).

Another thing to keep in mind is that you cannot sell one-time access to the same post/page that you have restricted to a specific membership level. See the note below taken from Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Specific Post/Page Access Restrictions:

If you configure s2Member, in such as a way, that a Post/Page requires Membership Level Access, you cannot sell that same Post/Page through Specific Post/Page Access. Doing so, would create a conflict. Customers that purchased Specific Post/Page Access, would be unable to access the Post/Page – without also having a Membership. Not good. So please be careful.

A way around this problem for your scenario would be to create two pages with the same content: one for membership access and another that you sell on a one-off basis for one time access.

Hello,

There are several PHP functions provided by s2Member. Please see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals

Hi Jennifer,

That could be the result of a misconfigured or (or not configured) IPN Integration and/or PDT/Auto-Return Integration. Please double-check your settings under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® IPN Integration and Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® PDT Integration.

You’ll also want to enable logging (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging) so that when this happens in the future you can track down the cause.

The other possibility is that the user paid and then canceled their subscription (or a payment failed) and they were demoted to a free subscriber. Have you checked the Administrative Notes field on their profile to see if s2Member added anything there about a demotion?

Hi Benny,

Are you offerring a free trial period? With the free trial period, PayPal can sometimes take a little while to get back to s2Member about the transaction. In those cases, s2Member doesn’t know right away if the user completed the checkout, so the user is required to wait until they receive an email from s2Member inviting them to register (s2Member generates that email when it receives confirmation of checkout from PayPal via an IPN message).

You may see something like the following in your log file for the delayed transactions:

0 => 'No Return-Data. Customer must wait for Email Confirmation.',
1 => 'Redirecting Customer to the Home Page. Customer must wait for Email Confirmation.',
2 => 'Note. This can sometimes happen when/if you are offering a free Trial Period. There are times when a Payment Gateway will NOT supply s2Member with any data immediately after checkout. When/if this happens, s2Member must process the transaction via IPN only ( i.e. behind-the-scene ), and the Customer must wait for Email Confirmation in these cases.',

If this is what’s happening, then there really isn’t any way around it (other than switching to Pro-Forms, which allows your user to register for an account as part of the checkout process). Your users will need to wait until PayPal notifies s2Member of a successful transaction and then they will need to use the link in that email to register their account (see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Signup Confirmation Email).

Hi Chris,

Here’s the example taken from Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Import/Export -› User/Member Importation that describes what each field in a s2Member Import file represents:

"ID","Username","Password","First Name","Last Name","Display Name","Email","Website","Level[0-9]+ or Role ID","Custom Capabilities","Registration Date ( mm/dd/yyyy )","First Payment Date ( mm/dd/yyyy )","Last Payment Date ( mm/dd/yyyy )","Auto-EOT Date ( mm/dd/yyyy )","Custom Value ( starts w/domain )","Paid Subscr. ID","Paid Subscr. Gateway","Custom Field ID #1","Custom Field Value #1","Custom Field ID #2","Custom Field Value #2", ...

Using that, we can match the fields from your other software to that of s2Member:

Username -> Username
Password -> Password
First Name -> First Name
Last Name -> Last Name
Display Name -> Display Name
e-Mail -> Email
Member since date -> Registration Date ( mm/dd/yyyy )
Renewal due date -> [n/a]
Membership Level -> Level[0-9]+ or Role ID
Paypal ID -> Paid Subscr. ID

Additionally, if these are PayPal subscriptions that you’re importing, you’ll need to make sure that the Paid Subscr. Gateway field for each row is set to paypal, so that s2Member knows the subscription is a PayPal subscription.

You may want to add a sample user and sample payment data to s2Member (you can edit the sample user’s profile and then insert dummy values in the Paid Subscr. ID field, etc.) and then run an Export (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Import/Export -› User/Member Exportation) so that you have a base-format to work with when building your import file.

Hi Chris,

Have you seen the documentation in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Import/Export -› User/Member Importation? There are a few examples near the bottom that explain the different fields.

If you need further help, please provide us with a full line of the exported CSV data, along with any header descriptions that identify the columns.

Hi Lan,

You will need to create the HTML form necessary to select the license and quantity, then submit that information to another page that calculates the total amount with PHP and uses the dynamic shortcode attribute feature to configure the monthly amount on the purchase button.

Please see this thread from the old forum that explains how to use dynamic shortcode attributes to dynamically set the price: http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604

Hi Terri,

You may want to point your developer at this thread from the old forum where another s2Member user found a workaround to a similar problem: http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14258&p=29350#p30556

Hi Thomas,

Your WordPress theme is specifying hard URLs (as opposed to relative URLs) to various resources (such as your social media graphics). Those hard URLs start with http:// instead of https://, so the browser is complaining that insecure content is being loaded.

The page at https://www.crossfitulster.com/on-ramp-program120-one-time/ displayed insecure content from http://www.crossfitulster.com/wp-content/plugins/social-media-widget/images/default/32/twitter.png.

You’ll need to update your WordPress theme and/or widgets so that all the URLs are either relative (e.g., /wp-content/plugins/[……]/twitter.png) or that their URLs start with https://.

Hi Thomas,

After you generate the shortcode for One Time ( for 6-day access, non-recurring ), change the rp=”6″ attribute to rp=”10″.

You can read more about the shortcode attributes in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Shortcode Attributes (Explained).
