Yes, we’re running W3 Total Cache with object caching enabled. I’ve upgraded to
the new version of S2member and the new member of W3 Total cache, flushed all
caches, and turned off object caching. I hope that solves the problem.

I’ve emailed you the last log entries and the URL to the site. I can give you
admin access if we really need to go that route.

What about adding these two lines to the HTACCESS file:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^action=register$
RewriteRule ^wp-login[.]php$ /myregistration [R,NC,L]

So, it would automatically redirect this:

http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=register

to this:

http://mysite.com/myregistration?action=register

Yup. That works. Thanks.

That only works if I never add new CC’s to Level 1. What if I add three new CC’s to level 1? I can’t
make all the existing Level 2 users click Paypal buttons again.

I need a way to add the CC’s to the Level 2 role.

Awesome. Thanks. That works.

Is there a way to add an entry to the select menu that is not selectable?

For example, I might want a country menu that has the most common entries on top with a divider, e.g.

CN|CHINA
IN|INDIA
US|UNITED STATES
——|——- <<< can I make this not selectable?
AX|ALAND ISLANDS
AL|ALBANIA
AS|AMERICAN SAMOA
AD|ANDORRA
AI|ANGUILLA
….

In your Quick Start guide for Paypal forms, it says:

If you decide NOT to acquire a PayPal® Pro account, and instead integrate ONLY with PayPal® Express Checkout, please understand the following limitation. PayPal® Express Checkout is intended to facilitate payments for PayPal® account owners and/or Customers willing to signup for PayPal® during checkout. It is NOT possible for a Customer to go through PayPal® Express Checkout without having and/or acquiring a PayPal® account, regardless of the transaction type ( i.e. Buy Now functionality is no exception to this rule ).

That makes no sense. I talked to Paypal and they said that standard business accounts can process credit
cards without the user having, or signing up for, a Paypal account. My sandbox testing confirms that.
Can you please clarify?

Using the Sandbox, I am able to buy something using just a credit card (and not having a paypal account or signing up for one).

Here’s what I’m seeing with Pro Forms:

My testing only pertains to BN (Buy Now) transactions.

If I try to accept all credit cards and Paypal using the Pro Form, I’ll
get an error during checkout with an error like “unsupported merchant.”

As mentioned above I have to edit
the pro form shortcode,
changing this:
accept=”paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover,maestro,solo”
to just:
accept=”paypal”

Once I do that, the user sees this in the pro form:

So they can only accept Paypal at this point.

HOWEVER, once they go to Paypal, they see this:

So they can checkout without having a Paypal account.

This seems potentially confusing to the user if they want to checkout without using Paypal.

Thanks for the response, Raam.

If we follow those steps, do we get Coupon Code functionality and the
custom registration page?

Also, does this mean that a customer CANNOT pay with a credit card at checkout time?

Hi Cristian,

Yes, I know how to search forums. I am not using multisite. I have no existing Cloudfront distributions.
I have deleted all S3 buckets and created a new one just for S2member. I can’t tell from those
messy forum postings what might be another issue.

Can you please provide complete details on how to log the back-and-forth between S2member and Amazon web services so I can see what the actual messages look like?

Cheers

S3 works fine. A file like http://mysite.com/?s2member_file_download=somefile.zip redirects to S3 correctly and downloads.

Yes, I watched that video. But I know that I didn’t make any obvious errors because I used all the same credentials with the non-pro version of s2member on Localhost and it auto-configured fine. Next steps?

BUMP- I’m still getting this error message:

“Unable to auto-configure Amazon® CloudFront Distributions.
Error code: 400. Error Message: Unable to delete existing Amazon® CloudFront Origin Access Identity. Unable to delete existing Amazon® CloudFront Origin Access Identity. Bad Request”

Please help out with this….

I installed the free version of S2member on localhost (using MAMP), and, using all the same credentials, everything worked perfectly. This suggests that the problem might have something to do with my ISP’s PHP configuration. It’s PHP 5.2.17 compiled with openssl and fopen URLs are turned on — is there anything else I need to look for?
