When they were returned to your site after checkout, was there a message that says to look for an email with the registration link? Did they use that or did they go straight to your wp-login to register instead?
When the user is returned to the site, if PayPal doesn’t tell s2Member that the payment happened, s2Member can’t assume the new user should get the paid access, so s2Member doesn’t set the cookie that’d make the new registration get the paid access. Instead s2 has to wait for PayPal a bit, and after getting the notification, s2 sends the signup link in an email.
If the cookie had not been set and the user went to register without using the link in the email, and you have free registrations open, then the new account would have been registered as a free one.
Sadly, the delay from PayPal is normal when using a trial term, but we can’t do anything about it.
Another option is to close free registrations. Another option is to only sell upgrades to registered users.
I hope that helps. 🙂
You could ask your web host what they recommend.

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+backup+my+siteI remember their site stating that PayPal Standard and Express Checkout are available worldwide. And both of those support subscriptions (recurring payments). Are they not?
> PayPal uses the classic API in Germany
Are you talking about PayPal Pro? s2Member supports the PayPal Pro API, so it should work. Or is the German PayPal Pro API different from the U.S. one, do you know if that’s the case?
> and WordPress/s2member sends that person an activation email.
WordPress doesn’t have activation links, neither does s2Member add them. BuddyPress adds them, though.
When you create the user, WordPress sends him the New User email, which includes his username and password. s2Member adds an editor to customize it. WP Admin -> s2Member -> General -> Email Configuration -> New User
> We would like these new users to be able to enter their own passwords
Then let them register the account instead. You can have your client give them the access afterwards. This article may give you some ideas: http://www.s2member.com/kb/free-user-review-approval-process/
> the activation link is still only showing them an auto-generated password.
Like I said, the activation link is not something that comes with WP or s2, so I’d check with the plugin that added that to see how you could achieve the password customization part.
I hope that helps. 🙂
We haven’t added any yet. What stats would you like to see, so I keep those in mind if we work on that?
I found this 3rd party plugin, maybe it has what you want? http://wordpress.org/plugins/stats-for-s2member/
If you’re logged in as the admin, can you see the player with the protected video?
If the problem is only when you’re not logged in, then try adding the “download_key” attribute to your s2Stream shortcode. See: WP Admin -> s2Member -> Download -> Shortcode Attributes -> download_key
The download_key is also needed when selling protected files in posts with the Specific restriction, because that restriction is not tied to a user account, but the file protection is based on user account levels.
If that’s not it, then see: http://www.s2member.com/kb/jw-player-sample-code-not-working/
To check if the integration is fine and the file is protected, try downloading it directly as a visitor, are you taken to the Membership Options Page? http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/yourvideo.mp4
I hope that helps. 🙂
s2Member doesn’t apply access restrictions to administrators or the admin area when active, much less when not.
Only these protections would affect an admin for security reasons, and only if s2 is active and the configured conditions are met: WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restrictions -> Brute Force, Unique IP
I don’t know… You only have the problem with s2Member admin pages?
If you haven’t yet, could you please do these? http://www.s2member.com/kb/common-troubleshooting-tips/
Maybe. If you haven’t yet, you could try these: http://www.s2member.com/kb/common-troubleshooting-tips/
But I’d also make sure the restriction is done correctly. WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restrictions
And remember that you need to set a Membership Options Page for the restrictions to become active. WP Admin -> s2Member -> General -> Membership Options Page
Great! Thanks for the update. I’m glad you sorted it out.
But I did get the error just before replying to you for the CSS/JS file, so I suggest you look into that.
Did you find something in common between the ones that weren’t?
Did you do the troubleshooting? http://www.s2member.com/kb/common-troubleshooting-tips/
You can test with 1 cent transactions, or free registrations to higher levels if you have the pro-forms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gstUT8Vjm9s
You can set it to 1 day to see the EOT happen sooner, or edit his profile an give him an EOT sooner, or try changing his role to demote him.
What do you mean by simultaneous logins?
If you mean being able to access the content of more than one level, s2Member levels give incremental access by default. This article may help if you need to customize it: http://www.s2member.com/kb/levels-without-incremental-access/
Does that help or did I misunderstand?
Well, I could load the page without a problem. I noticed that the s2Member JS/CSS file didn’t load, though. http://imgur.com/jorjVDZ
