Hello,

Thanks for the help. I have just forwarded your server config to my host – hopefully that helps (http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/ideal-server-configuration-for-s2member/).

Here is a list of plugins I’m using that I think would be most resource intensive (and/or possibly cause some conflict):

– Affiliates Pro s2Member Integration (http://www.itthinx.com/plugins/affiliates-s2member)
– Affiliates Users (http://www.itthinx.com/shop/affiliates-users/)
– BuddyPress
– bbPress
– s2Member® Framework

These are my other active plugins – but they are quite small and not resources intensive:

– Quick Cache
– Theme My Login
– WangGuard
– WCK Taxonomy Creator
– WordPress SEO
– Wp-Insert
– WP-Mail-SMTP
– WP Maintenance Mode
– bbpress Simple Advert Units
– Custom sidebars
– Digg Digg
– FV WordPress Flowplayer
– Google Content Experiments
– BuddyPress Pending Activations
– BuddyPress Template Pack
– Contact Form 7
– IvyCat AJAX Testimonials
– KeyCAPTCHA
– NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster
– bbPress Topics for Posts

And I’m using Skematik Theme: http://skematiktheme.com/

Here a link to my site: http://thecashlab.com/

Thanks,
Ben

wow. now it’s getting serious my server was just suspended due to server health.

I need help asap.

Its not very economical to restrict everything on a topic by topic basis as they get created, that’s why I was looking for an option that would lock-down everything within an entire forum automatically as the topics get created by users.

I have previously tried what you suggested about using the forum post ID and putting that into the category restriction area, but unfortunately that does not work.

Hey,

I’ve actaully done a backflip on this one.

I really do need a private forum. Its one of the reasons I bought s2member (integration with buddypress and bbpress) but I didn’t realize it would be an all or nothing deal.

The problem with protecting just one part is that all of the forums share the same URL slug (or URI fragment). So protecting one of them protects them all.

I know that you can protect all posts under a certain category, even if the category is not displayed in the URL. So can’t I apply something similar to bbPress, where it protects all topics and replies under a certain forum?

Here are some URLs of threads in my forum as requested (one thread from each of the 3 forums):
forum 1: http://thecashlab.com/discussion/topic/what-to-expect-from-solicitation-with-cpa/
forum 2: http://thecashlab.com/discussion/topic/new-course-sales-copy-that-sells/
forum 3: http://thecashlab.com/discussion/topic/question-on-listjacking/

As you can see, they all share the same URL slugs even though the topics are in different forums.

Thanks,
Ben

Thanks for the help.

I just tried this inside the navigation label under Appearance > Menus:

<?php if (current_user_is("s2member_level0")){ ?>Menu for only level 0 users<?php } ?>

But it displayed the menu for everyone. Not just level 0. Can you please show me what I’m doing wrong?

Anyone?

Actually I’m certain its revert to the free version. Here is a screenshot of my current options: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9663528/s2member.jpg

I installed a free version on my other blog to compare. They match.

So how do I get my pro options back?
