Another way would be using conditionals around each image. WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Simple/Shortcode Conditionals

Code:: [s2If is_user_logged_in()] [/s2If]

You could do something like this:

Code:: Some public content.

ref: http://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode

You could set different width and height using size="themename-thumbnail" in the above code

Code:

Add this to your function.php

Code:: add_image_size( 'themename-thumbnail', 340, 400, true );

This should protect your images from everybody but your members.

There may be a smarter solution than mine, but how about having two pages for each item, one with photos, and one without.
On the page without photos you have a button that says, 'click here to see this page with photos'. That page would be protected by s2member and only available to logged in viewers.

I do want the text content to be found in search results, just not the images.

If I want things to be visible in search results do I choose-
None (do not filer any Wordpress queries)

I believe anything blocked by s2Member is not put on search results. Though excerpts from posts/pages are sometimes visible.

But just to make sure they aren's, go to WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Alternative View Protection configure everything there and see if it solves your problem.

Hope this helps.
Also remember to report back,
otherwise you leave me worrying.

Protected content visible to Google?

2011-12-29T14:16:39-05:00

Is it true that excerpts of protected content are visible to Google?
What are recommended SEO practices for protected pages?

thanks in advance
