Dear Cristián

Following my message above, whilst the form looks good on the test page – http://www.sippclub.com/test-sign-up-page/ – there are a couple of problems…

1. I completed the form with a test email address and it generated a PayPal error message – – this is concerning from two viewpoints: (i) There’s no mention of Paypal anywhere on the site as it’s a free membership, so that could worry a new member that somehow they’re going to have to pay (i) The email address is a real email address, but one not registered with PayPal, so why the error – this error does not occur on the standard WordPress registration form.

2. The tabs don’t work properly – after the second field, it jumps to a field in the footer and not the third field.

What do you suggest?

Brian

Dear Raam and Eduan

Thanks for your help on this. It seems all the pointers you’ve indicated above should work, but I couldn’t make it work, nor could an IT mate of mine who builds websites. You’re right in that the change needs to be made in the header.php file, but despite his best efforts, he failed. He suspects it’s to do with the theme. We can create two menus in WordPress, but it only seems to make one of them work, and won’t allow switching between the two, whether you’re logged in or out.

If you have any other things we could try, that would be good, but otherwise, don’t worry.

Dear Raam

Thanks for the detail. Sadly, I’m not a programmer, so I wouldn’t feel confident modifying the theme files. I’d be worried too that any theme updates would overwrite the changes, putting me back to square one.

As a thought, I’ve created two menus in WordPress. One for logged in and one for logged out. Is there a way conditionals can be used to present the correct menu (depending on whether a person is logged in or out), rather than just try to hide some of the links in one menu?

Dear Cristián

Thanks for your reply. I’d looked at the Alternative View Protection, but it seems to be the wrong way around for my purpose, in that it hides ‘protected’ content.

At http://www.sippclub.com I want to show all four menu options for people who are not logged in. If they click a protected page (which I want to show to gain their interest), they will be directed to the ‘you have to be a member, join here’ page. Once they are logged in, I want to hide the first of the menu options saying ‘FREE membership’ because they are already a member and they’ve logged in.

I don’t know how to ‘use conditionals in my menus’.

I’m not sure how I can use a text widget in the main header navigation, but if you can show me how to do this, I’m sure that would work (I’ve already used ‘advanced/php conditionals’: example #1′ in sidebar widgets and they work perfectly).

If you’re aware of a plugin that allows this to happen, please could you let me know.

I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Hi Raam

That link was fantastic. It worked perfectly. Thank you so much.

Interestingly, three different PayPal staff said it couldn’t be done. Shame they don’t receive proper training!

Luckily, the great people at S2Member are there to help.

Great service. It’s much appreciated.

Dear Raam

Thanks for your reply. I’m using a Paypal button generated using S2Member. Here’s the shortcode….

[s2Member-PayPal-Button sp="1" ids="918" exp="8760" desc="How To Save Fees And Reduce Your Stress Level As You Find The Right Care Home For Your Loved One...Fast! (PDF Copy)" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="GBP" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www.icarehome.co.uk" ra="47.00" image="default" output="button" /]

From your comment, you suggest I’ll find the information on my PayPal account, but they say no. Paypal says the information is found on the ‘merchant’ account.

If you think the information is likely to be found on my PayPal account, please could you should show me where I find this information on my Paypal account.

Thanks.

Brian

Hi Cristián and Jason

I’ve removed the sandbox and placed a live transaction at 1p. It worked perfectly, and all the confirmation emails were sent correctly. As expected, you were right – the problem was due to the PayPal test area – its live site was fine.

So thanks very much – I’m sorted and happy.

Hi Dave

Thanks for your reply. I only want to track referrals to my site from other websites. I’ll give the affiliates a link to use. I’d like to identify the referrals they send my way through the referral’s email address (or other unique identifier).
