You can just not use them. Level 0 is always required for things like free accounts, demoted accounts (account still exists but user's paid access expired), or even as a check if someone is logged in, and it won't affect you if you leave it and not use it.

hello Cristian,

I want just 3 membership levels, not 5 as I can see, is the default in s2member. Is there a way I can remove the level 0 (free membership and also the level 4, as I want level 3 to be the highest)?

Ah, got it.

Yes, to let them do that, you do need to edit their roles.

Actually, we want to have three subscriber types with all the same capabilities to page and form creation only. I am finding various plugins that are helping the process along. The role editor allows the setting of the subscriber level to what we want them to do. Still a work in progress.

That's good. What I mean is that you may not even need to bother with that. What is the membership structure you want to create?

You actually have 5 levels, 0 being the free one by default and 1 to 4 paid. Levels give access incrementally.

* A Member with Level 4 access, will also be able to access Levels 0, 1, 2 & 3.
* A Member with Level 3 access, will also be able to access Levels 0, 1 & 2.
* A Member with Level 2 access, will also be able to access Levels 0 & 1.
* A Member with Level 1 access, will also be able to access Level 0.
* A Subscriber with Level 0 access, will ONLY be able to access Level 0.

* WordPress® Subscribers are at Membership Level 0. If you're allowing Open Registration, Subscribers will be at Level 0 ( a Free Subscriber ). WordPress® Administrators, Editors, Authors, and Contributors have Level 4 access, with respect to s2Member. All of their other Roles/Capabilities are left untouched.

You also have availabe what are called Custom Capabilities, which may help you achieve what you want. You can learn about them here:

WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Custom Capabilities
http://www.s2member.com/custom-capabilities-video/

And those two can be combined: custom capabilities for grouping and levels for incremental access.

Let me know if that helps.

Membership Levels/Labels

2011-04-17T10:11:51-05:00

Hello Anyone, Newbie here!

In setting my Membership Levels, I see that it does not allow Level 5. We need to have three different Membership categories, with all having permissions set at 5. Is there a way to make this happen with this plugin?

Thanks
