You can place the Button Code on ANY Post/Page you like.
Just be sure that you're NOT protecting that special page, because that's the page potential Customers will use to gain access.

The ideal page to place your Button Code on, is your Membership Options Page ( configured in s2Member -> General Options ). Should a visitor attempt to access a protected area of your site, s2Member will automatically redirect them to your Membership Options Page. You can use ANY Page you like, it just needs to be configured here: s2Member -> General Options -> Membership Options Page

Hi there. Thanks for the great question.
If you're seeing this code, it would indicate to me that you're using the Full Button Code instead of the Shortcode format. Please try the Shortcode format, that should correct the problem for you.

If you really need to use the Full Button Code, you'll want to have a look at the PHP tags in the Full Button Code. Depending on where you're inserting the Full Button Code, it could be getting corrupted; particularly if you're not familiar with PHP tags, it can be confusing.

Can I post my PayPal button external to my WordPress install

2010-06-29T04:09:31-05:00

Hey Jason,

I've been playing around with your plug-in for a couple of days now and I think it's awesome!!

One question, my WordPress install (for my product) is in a subdomain i.e. product.mysite.com

The sales page is just mysite.com, can I place the PayPal button on the sales page or will it conflict with the coding.

You said in your instructions that I should choose a page to use as a sign-up page so I cowboyed a redirect page to my slaes page usng your suggested /membership-signup link (I know that's probably not a good thing to do...

How would I get around this problem, I've only got one membership level and I just want this to work!

Thanks
