Hi Perry. If you’re getting a 404 error, it’s because your s2Member download links are constructed incorrectly, or because the s2member-files/ directory is in the wrong location.
Please follow this procedure. * s2Member automatically creates the /s2member-files/ directory for you. But if your server permissions will not allow it to do so, you’ll need to create it manually. Either way, s2Member will keep you informed about this through friendly alerts in your Dashboard.
Your /s2member-files/ directory should be located here:
/wp-content/plugins/s2member-files
Then, you should upload protected “Members Only” files to that directory:
/wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/myfile.zip
Next, you should create a link on your website, pointing to this protected file, in a special way:
http://www.yoursite.com/?s2member_file_download=myfile.zip
s2member_file_download = location of the file, relative to the /s2member-files/ directory. In other words, just the file name.
If your installation of WordPress is not installed at the root of your domain, but instead, it’s installed in a sub-folder. You might have to do something like this: ( point your URL to the WordPress root directory )
http://www.yoursite.com/wordpress/?s2member_file_download=myfile.zip
Hi, thanks for the help.
I got the download going (my fault) so thank you so much.
The counter gets stuck at 1 or 2 and I set the parameters to be able to download 3 in 1 day – it now downloads an infinite number.
Now the only problem is s2Member interfering with a member getting to their dashboard and the ability to change their assigned random password to something else – still have that problem.
Once that’s taken care of I can bring up a live site – can’t wait.

Hi there
My problem is that I (as Admin), or any of my members can’t view any of the protected categories – we just keep getting redirected to the Member Sign-up page.
Any ideas?
All help appreciated.

All is working fine now.
