About: Gabor Ringhoffer

1. Is your Badge Status API enabled?

See: s2Member -> General Options -> Security Badge -> Badge Status API

Gabor: It is enabled, and it was enabled since the first installation.

2. Does your /wp-config.php file have all of these configuration values?

See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Security_Keys
(each of these MUST be at least 60 chars, and must NOT contain: ‘unique phrase’)

Gabor: Looks ok to me.

3. Have you created a Security Encryption Key for your s2Member installation?

See: s2Member -> General Options -> Security Encryption Key
(this MUST be at least 60 chars as well)

Gabor: Yes, Key is created since the first installation.

4. Does your /wp-config.php file have both of these configuration values?

DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD. These must be filled in, and must NOT be the same value.
See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Set_Database_Name

Gabor: They are there and they are not the same

5. Have you configured your Unique IP Restriction Options yet?

See: s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Unique IP Restrictions
(this must NOT be set to: infinite)

Gabor: I have set this to Infinite because some users whos ISP change IP frequently got locked out. I have now changed it to Allow 100 Different IP. Issue still remain. No badge is displayed.

6. Have you configured your Brute Force IP Restrictions yet?

See: s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Brute Force IP Restrictions
(this must NOT be set to: infinite)

Gabor: It was set to Allow 5 failed login attempts.

7. If you visit this link on your WordPress® installation, you should get a plain text file that contains only a single value of: 1 (indicating your site is in the green w/s2Member®). If you don’t, one of the above is the likely cause.

See: http://jason.websharks-inc.net/?s2member_s_badge_status=1
This test installation is running WordPress® v3.6-alpha and the latest version of s2Member®.

Now look at your installation: http://bannersbrokertools.com/?s2member_s_badge_status=1

Gabor: Result is 1 in my browser, but still no badge displayed.

The URL of my site is: http://bannersbrokertools.com

Hi Eduan,

I did all step you have requested.

I have latest WordPress and Latest S2 member plugin.

Safety First -> Set correctly
Conflicting Plugins -> I have only one plugin, which manage the maintenance mode. It was there before, when S2 plugin correctly displayed the badge. Anyhow, I have disabled it, still not fixed the issue.
Conflicting Theme -> Issue remain while switched to default theme. No badge displayed.
User Error -> Not sure about what should I look for. There is no error, not even in the error_log file.
Server Configuration -> Your test file come with all green and message like: You passed on all of these scans :-)
Outdated Installation -> All is up to date.
Corrupt or Missing Files -> All site work correctly, nothing is corrupted. I can delete the plugin and install it again, if you tell me how to save and import all settings regarding S2 config.
Testing in a Development Environment -> I need some time to do another installation.

For your info: Badge was displayed correctly until I upgraded lately WordPress. Nothing else was changed. No plugin was installed or removed. Since WordPress upgrade, no matter what I do, S2 member don’t display badge anymore. The funny thing is that I was ready to upgrade to pro when I saw this issue, so even if your script coming back with all green status, I am not sure if S2 member correctly working or not, if members are managed correctly or not, so I hope this will be fixed or at least I hope that we will debug where the issue is.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Regards,
Gabor
