Does your CSV file have their user IDs in the first column?
When you exported the CSV, did you use the format to re-import it?
If you could post here an couple of example rows I could review/try it (editing personal info with fake one, of course). Thanks.
Yes, that example screenshot is using PayPal Pro, that’s why all the cards are there, for on-site payment.
If you did use accept=”paypal” and you didn’t get just the PayPal button to submit the form, then there may have been a JavaScript conflict causing it to not work correctly. Please try these: http://www.s2member.com/kb/common-troubleshooting-tips/
No, not really. You see, the search engine spider is treated as any other visitor, and if the content is protected then the spider will be sent to the Membership Options Page as the rest.
And letting the spider through when you don’t let regular visitors, would possibly upset Google, and also make your premium content available through their cache.
What I’d recommend is using the WP <!–more–> tag (http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/) to have an excerpt of the post, that’ll be shown in the posts list/archive, but the post itself will be protected by s2. You may need to adjust your settings here a bit: WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restrictions -> Alt. Views
Or instead of using a restriction for the post/page, use a conditional in its body, showing a part (like the excerpt) to visitors, and the rest only to the level you want to require. WP Admin -> s2Member -> Scripting -> Conditionals
I hope that helps. 🙂
I see. I’m not sure I understood the URLs explanation, but what you said last sounds like a caching thing, maybe… I’ll ask Raam, who’s working on QuickCache and may have a better idea of what you’re describing.
It’d really help if I could actually see what you’re describing, to try notice what could be wrong.
Is the choice made at the page where that’d be shown, or do they make the choice elsewhere and click a link that takes them there?
If it’ll happen right there, you’d probably have to use JavaScript.
Or, if you have the pro-forms, maybe you can use the custom fields with the setting to show it at a particular level. WP Admin -> s2Member -> General -> Registration/Profile Fields -> Edit field -> Applicable Membership Levels
So the one without the license could be level 1 and the one with it be level 2, and the custom field only shown to level 2 registrations.
I hope that helps. 🙂
Yes, you can remove the password, first name and last name fields from the registration, leaving just username and email address. See: WP Admin -> s2Member -> General -> Registration/Profile Fields/Options
I hope that helps. 🙂
Thanks very much for reporting that. I’ll check with Jason.
You did try all the troubleshooting, right? http://www.s2member.com/kb/common-troubleshooting-tips/
Did you try testing a clean WP installation in another dir, with just s2Member? Do you still get it there?
The thing is we haven’t been able to reproduce it in our tests, so it has to be something that causes it in those installations where it’s reported, but we haven’t put our fingers on it yet. If it’s not the theme, or the plugins, then maybe the server, or something that was installed previously but didn’t get fully removed afterwards (there are plugins that do that). So a clean installation removes the possibility of plugins/theme conflicts, and only leaves the server or s2Member, pretty much, which is simpler to debug.
I look forward to your report. 🙂
It doesn’t sound like an s2Member problem, but you could try resaving these:
WP Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks
WP Admin -> s2Member -> GeneralRe. caching, just make sure you don’t have database or object caching enabled if they’re available in that plugin, they’re known to cause random problems.
I’ve read good things about WP Super Cache, and there’s also QuickCache, which we put out and works very nice too.
If none of the above helps, you can ask your webhost about it. You can also disable your plugins one by one, checking after each if the problem is gone, in case it’s introduced by one of them.
I hope that helps. 🙂
See if this helps: http://www.s2member.com/kb/admin-pages-not-looking-or-working-right/

I hope that helps. 🙂
No, you shouldn’t lose it. Make sure you have this enabled: WP Admin -> s2Member -> General -> Deactivation Safeguards
That said, it’s always a good idea to make a backup before changes like those. I’m not saying only for s2Member, but in general it’s good practice.
I hope that helps. 🙂
Thanks for the idea, I wrote it in our feature requests list.
Yes, you’d add that variable to the querystring of the wp-login.php URL when doing the redirection.
If the user was sent to the Membership Options Page, you’ll have some vars available, including the URL he was trying to open. WP Admin -> s2Member -> Scripting -> Membership Options Page Variables
I hope that helps. 🙂
To create a pro-form that uses just PayPal Express Checkout, change the pro-form’s “accept” attribute to just “paypal”: accept=”paypal”.
The pro-form genearator adds all the cards to that attribute by default. The cards will require you to have PayPal Pro, though. See these articles:
http://www.s2member.com/kb/paypal-services-a-quick-comparison/
http://www.s2member.com/kb/paypal-pro-payflow-dprp-express-checkout/You can test with 1 cent transactions in the live account. I don’t prefer to use PayPal’s developer sandbox, though. See my video on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08t45PYeHxk
I hope that helps. 🙂
Great. 🙂
Yes, you have the pro-form checkout options. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Pro-Forms -> Checkout Options
I hope that helps. 🙂
To have the user redirect to another page (e.g. previous one) when logging in, you’ll need to add ?redirect_to=/here-goes-the-address-you-redirect-to at the end of wp-login.php.
You say the user is taken to the login page because your forum is protected with s2Member, but s2’s redirection would take him to the Membership Options Page. Could you explain what you have there and what behavior is? A link to one of those posts would help me see what happens.
