Yes, your PayPal link is corrupted. I'm seeing this in the source code of your site, for this link to PayPal. It's possible that your theme is modifying content filters in WordPress which is causing this as a side effect, but it's difficult to know for sure.

You might try the raw HTML plugin to see if it helps.

I used the instructions here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16962&p=61347&hilit=paypal+link#p61347 to generate links for the buttons (replacing the shortcodes "button" output with "url" then grabbing that outputted url for the pricing table's link field.

Did I miss something along the way?

Thanks for the follow-up. Are you using the recommended PayPal Button Shortcodes provided by s2Member, or have you built custom links to PayPal checkout? I ask because it looks like that page on your site contains links to PayPal which are corrupted.

I'm getting the same PayPal bookmarking error as mentioned in one of the previous posts in this thread-

You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks.

I have tried clearing my cache entirely, but that hasn't resolved it.

You can see the page here: http://yourcrimesite.com/join/

I would paste in my PayPal button links but I think they might have some code in them that shouldn't be public?

Thanks for the follow-up.

for Level 0 I'd link to domain.com/register (I'm using BuddyPress)
for Level 1 I'd link to http://domain.com/?register_level=1 (after inserting that code below into my functions, which will allow Level 1 to be free)
for Level 2 I'd link to the generated PayPal shortcode or link created through the PayPal Buttons panel

Is that right?

Yes, you've got it!
Please be aware however, these code samples are provided for clarity. I would recommend that you harden security against the register_level variable in some custom way, so that a visitor could not simply change the level number and perhaps register for access at a Membership Level you did not intend for them to have. For instance, you might require this value to be encrypted, and your PHP function would decrypt it, testing it for validity.

Jason,

Thanks for your awesome plugin. Once I get my site running, and CAN upgrade, I most definitely will.

If I need Level 0 to be free, subscriber, with 0 sites...
Level 1, free, with 1 site...
Level 2, paid, with 1 site...

So using what you have below, if I wanted to use graphic buttons to link to the appropriate registration pages for each...

for Level 0 I'd link to domain.com/register (I'm using BuddyPress)
for Level 1 I'd link to http://domain.com/?register_level=1 (after inserting that code below into my functions, which will allow Level 1 to be free)
for Level 2 I'd link to the generated PayPal shortcode or link created through the PayPal Buttons panel

Is that right?

Here is more of a real-world example of how this might be implemented on your site.
Inside the functions.php file for your WordPress® theme, insert a snippet like this:
Code:
add_action("init", "register_level"); function register_level(){ if(isset($_GET["register_level"])){ $link = c_ws_plugin__s2member_register_access::register_link_gen ("none", "-", $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"], $_GET["register_level"], false); wp_redirect($link); exit(); } }

Here are how the actual links would be formulated:
Code:
http://example.com/?register_level=1 http://example.com/?register_level=2 http://example.com/?register_level=3 http://example.com/?register_level=4

Hide items that you'd add to the code box of the widget? You can do that with conditionals. WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Simple/Shortcode Conditionals or Advanced/PHP Conditionals (for this one you'll need to have a PHP execution plugin installed.)

Hi there, thanks but how do you hide certain items under different levels do i need to use the code %%current_user_level%% in the code somewhere in the login in widget?

Thank you.

Please update to the latest release of s2Member. I think your problem may be related to a bug that got fixed in the v111206 release.

If you have registration closed (WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Open Registration) so that only paying members can register, then the user must either register from the same browser after he paid because after return from checkout, s2Member will create a cookie in the browser to know it has to let him register. Other wise, when going to the registration page he'll be told that registrations are closed. This may be happening trying to do it from his iPad if he paid from his desktop, for example.

The other way to register is using the link that s2Member sends by email after the payment, this would work from any browser. The URL you said you sent him is not going to work if Open Registration is disabled. You need to generate a special link that will let the person register: WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Buttons -> Registration Access Link

I hope this helps.

Hmm... This video may help you with that: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2837

You could configure different login welcome pages based on level. For this, use the replacement codes avaialble for the special redirection URL for your Login Welcome page. WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Login Welcome Page -> URL

Like http://mysite.com/welcome-%%current_user_level%%
Then create the pages for each level and protect them at their level. E.g.

http://mysite.com/welcome-0 protected at Level 0
http://mysite.com/welcome-1 protected at Level 1

I hope that helps.

got that sorted thanks the final question is can i configure the pro login in widget to display different options for the different levels. as you can see in the photo, i would like to remove some of the items and add some different one is this possible?

Re: Free Registration @ Different Levels

2011-11-29T17:38:09-05:00

Thank you, Cristian, but I have never allowed open registration.

At the path you noted: WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Account Details -> Enable Logging, I had checked: Yes, enable debugging, with API, IPN & Return Page logging.

The entries that currently pay AND are labeled "Subscriber" are Nicole Gelinas (no paid subscriber ID) (administrative notes say: "Demoted by s2Member: Thu Jan 6, 2011 7:00 pm UTC") : I didn't do that, and she still pays through Paypal, uninterrupted and no refunds.

And Rich McCoy (paid subscriber ID: I-05PTT45F6HYV)

There were many others who have quit the Club. Half were labeled "Subscriber", and half were labeled "s2Member Level 2" . A few were labeled :None". They all went through the same payment process. Is this why they cancelled?

Frank Rader, Cathy Fry, and Denise Sadberry, and others have cancelled their Paypal payment to the Club, yet are still listed on my wp dashboard as "s2Member Level 2". How can I fix this?

An immediate problem I have is Basel Slatter just wrote me: "Please cancel my coaching membership and pleas refund any moneys paid. I am unable to open this web page on my iPad." : The new registration link I generated and sent him (his old one expired) is:
http://www.mlmmillionaireclub.com/membe ... n=register
Why can't he open this link on his iPad?

I'm losing members.

Why? Is there a difference to them? The correct one is s2Member Level 2.

2nd problem: When they cancel, some remain on my wp s2member dashboard and my my AWeber list. How can I get them automatically deleted in both when they cancel?

Hi Bess.

Regarding the first, you probably have Open Registration enabled and then probably some users don't complete payment properly but still go to the registration page. Since registration is open, he'll be able to create an account, but since s2Member didn't get notified of a successful payment for him, is not giving him a higher level than the default Subscriber (level 0). WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Open Registration

If the person is paying and getting sent back from the checkout to register and then gets a Subscriber role, there may be something wrong with your setup. Please post the entries related to those that have this problem, x'ing out any private info. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Account Details -> Enable Logging

Regarding the second, it may related to the above. If they were in the Subscriber role, they won't get an EOT behavior, because there isn't an EOT. Level 1 or above should get an EOT and the behavior you set. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Auto EOT Behavior

I hope it helps.

I have s2 member free version. My members pay through Paypal.

When they do, some are labeled s2Member Level 2, some are labeled Subscriber, even thought they all paid the same way.
Why? Is there a difference to them? The correct one is s2Member Level 2.

2nd problem: When they cancel, some remain on my wp s2member dashboard and my my AWeber list. How can I get them automatically deleted in both when they cancel?

Re: Free Registration @ Different Levels

2011-11-19T12:31:43-05:00

This is a bit off-topic, but I wasn't sure where else to post this question.

I'm getting an error from the Google captcha service when I use

Code:: captcha="clean"

on my free registration forms. I'm using the s2Clean Theme (and the "Dark Black" color scheme, if it makes a difference) and my captcha was working the last time I checked it (about a week or so ago). I'm using the following shortcode to display my free registration form:

Code:: [s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form register="1" level="0" ccaps="" desc="Signup now, it's Free!" custom="www.yourwebsite.com" tp="0" tt="D" captcha="0" /]

Now, instead of showing the image as the captcha should, it displays the following error: "An internal error occurred: 4B219A41E3420.A144646.600A". For the time being, we have just disabled the captcha, but would like to include it on our registration form. Has anyone else recently encountered this error? Is this a Google issue or an s2Member issue (or an error on my part)?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
