Allow paid subscribers access to admin pages

2011-01-05T03:36:26-05:00

Greetings,

I am new to the s2member community, so please apologize for what might be a rookie question.

The website I am working on will feature a service that is written as a WordPress plug-in. A customer would sign up for a subscription (level #1). Logs in with the user name and password sent after successful payment. At this point the user should be given access to the admin pages to use the services the my plug-in provides.

The tutorials I watched show that after configuring s2member, it redirects the subscriber to a "front" page or protected content. I specified the URL in the general options page (Login Welcome Page) to redirect the user to a particular admin page within my plug-in. However, I receive the error below. For testing purposes I created a user called "test" manually and assigned it a Level #1 subscription.

The page isn't redirecting properly.

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept

I know the URL specified in the "general options" screen works, because I can access it when I log in as the site admin.

The error seems to be related to permissions when trying to access admin pages. Does s2member support the feature of letting subscribed customers access admin pages? If so, how would I need to configure s2member? My goal is to ultimately purchase the "PRO" version of the plug-in, if I am able to make it work for my service.

Help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Martin
