Yeah, as I read those sections more I figured that out. I thought I could insert them in a User's profile. Then I saw the outstanding advice given there by S2, the plugin that allows the Admin to modify what each role does. Super, super, super.

I really love WordPress now...all over again. : )
I'm a sucker for easy role definition.

You can read more about this under

Dashboard -> s2Member -> API/Scripting -> Custom Capabilities(Packages)

and under

Dashboard -> s2Member -> API/Scripting -> Simple/Shortcode Conditionals

Custom capabilities don't work that way.

The code "access_s2member_level" is for conditionals. Custom capabilities are usually one-word. Like "videos".

Then, you use the current_user_can function like this:

Code:: [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_ccaps_videos)] //post your videos here [/s2If] [s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_ccaps_videos)] // do nothing [/s2If]

Or through Add Post/Post on the Wordpress Dashboard.

I should also say I'm trying to set the Custom Capability directly in the Dashboard, not as a result of subscribing.

Let me restate that. Just with the Custom Capability, it doesn't work.

User Custom Capabilities problem...

2011-08-17T21:04:08-05:00

In the User's profile, it allows the Admin to set Custom Capabilities. I'm trying to input the following capability:

current_user_can("access_s2member_level2")

The data field is stripping the (" and "), as well as letting a Level 2 User see Level 4 material.

I'm using the latest update of WP and S2. Thanks.
