Yeah, that'd be done in the theme's template. A theme developer should be able to help you with that. Try jobs.wordpress.net, oDesk.com or eLance.com.

Hi Cristián,

Took me long enough, but here's the screen shot of the login widget you asked for. At the moment, it seems as though the s2 pro login widget is working fine. It's the "Login" link on the top menu, directing to the customized s2 login/registration page, that doesn't seem to work properly. I'm assuming the process may be slightly different, but I figure they should both work since both are through s2Member.

Another question: the login interface is slightly different between the s2Member Pro Login Widget and the customizable s2 login/registration page. One says "sign up now" and one says "register".

One more thing, which is what I've really been trying to do: ideally, I'd like to have the s2member pro login widget appear in a top menu when moused-over. The menu could be titled: "Login". When moused over, a drop down menu would appear with the s2 pro login widget inside. Further, although this may take more coding, once logged in it would be neat for the "Login" menu title to change to "Log Out". Upon clicking "Log Out", the user would be directed to the log out page. The reason I'm asking if this is possible is because I've seen it on other sites (at least I've seen a login widget as a dropdown menu item), and I'm wondering if that's already built in some sort of short code or something, or if it would take some advanced coding? What are your thoughts/suggestions?

Thank you, Ray. That does clarify for me what I thought was true. Upon further investigation I've figured out I can change some things with the new Chrome Tool, but not the line I'm trying to fix. I'm thinking that this line of code is not in the CSS files.

Nanette,

I should also mention that Firebug will also help you find the source files of the code your trying to change. For me, I typically find this info on the right when I click on a certain line of code on the left. From there I can find the file, whether it's simply in my theme's CSS files that I can edit via the WordPress dashboard, or the file is located on my web server and I need to find it and edit I there.

Nanette,

I think I can help. I've used Firebug to troubleshoot things on my website as well, yet cannot save changes. I actually don't think programs like Firebug are designed to save the changes you make (at least the free one). I think the program is just for troubleshooting. If you want to save changes, you need to go to the source files of the code you are changing. For example, let's say I want to change a colour on my homepage. I can experiment with different colours using Firebug, but I need to go to my theme's CSS style file within my WordPress dashboard to actually change things. For me, I find this on my Dashboard page on the left under Appearance" I believe. Can't look at my dashboard at the moment, but I know that there is a link somewhere on the left of your dashboard page that says "Edit". Once you click here, you should be taken to a place where you can edit the files that actually control the appearance and other functions on your website. If you're not as HTML savvy as I was when I did this first, you'll need to do some searching through the files for the properties you want to edit.

Hope this helps you out.

And Christian, I will get a screenshot as soon as I can

Re: login redirect problem

2011-07-22T22:41:14-05:00

I'm hoping you can help...I've exhausted all tutorials, forum, online resources I can find...

I am running s2member (not pro) on an optimize press theme, using the free Sidebar Login plugin and encountered the identified login redirect problem. I use Chrome. Today I even downloaded Firefox and installed Firebug as per the tutorial.

Maybe I'm just not enough of a developer, but I can't "save" my edits, either in Chrome Dev tools or in Firebug.
I can "see" the code I need to change, but I can't figure out how to "save" the changes. I have the redirect that the video tutorial refers to... I see it, I delete it, and then... how do I save that change?

I know this isn't really a s2member question...but even when I tried to search the chrome dev tools for answers, no obvious help, and same for Firebug. I'm not a developer, so I'm thinking there's something obvious I'm missing...that's assumed I'll know...

It's taken me two days to get to this point...
I am so close to getting this setup completed after much struggle...this is one of the last of my challenges...

Thankyou for your support.
Nanette

In the widget preferences I can only select pages from a drop down menu to redirect to. I can't fill in my own URL. So I picked "Home Page."

I did notice, however, that if I log out with the top bar option, rather than the widget on the right side bar, the log out works just fine. I think this is the default WordPress bar that pops up when a user logs in. Maybe this will help solve the problem?

Re: login redirect problem

2011-07-19T23:29:14-05:00

I have another login/logout related problem
I can"t tell if the S2 Pro login widget process is conflicting with the WordPress login/out process at the moment, but whenever I click on the "logout" link in the widget, I'm directed to this page:
http://www.ihomefitness.com/2011/07/14/ ... 194839f0d6

I have set the widget to redirect to the homepage after logging out, but am directed to the page above. Also, after clicking on the logout link in the widget, the page I'm directed to still shows the "logout" link in the widget rather than the expected "login"link.

Have any ideas?

Ray

You can fix that here WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Unique IP Access Restrictions.

Re: login redirect problem

2011-07-16T11:46:05-05:00

Hey Ray,

may I ask: are you running a multiuser installation?

I had a similar problem with new registered user... they were redirected to the membership option page, where for each level, special options were shown. For examle a free subscriber at level#0 should see the options of each level, he could subscribe, while a member at level#1 or #2 has an unsubscribe button. The not-logged in user just see the different options, without the paypal buttons and a link to the registration form.

When a new user registered at the site and was redirected at the membership options page, he still couldn't see the paypal buttos... it was the same page shown as for not-logged-in-visitors.

The reason was: if a new user register at the site, he is a network member and only user at his own blog. At the main site, he is not a user and can only see the not-logged-content.

My solution was a plugin Multisite User Management to auto-join users to the main site.

I hope this helps.

Re: login redirect problem

2011-07-16T11:22:10-05:00

I looked at the user status (under my WordPress dashboard) and they should have had the ability to view the login welcome page after I logged in.

Anyways, I got so lost in trying to solve the problem that day/night/morning that I eventually found a solution : ) I can't remember now exactly what I did, but it took some maneuvering to figure it out. If I remember one day, I could post what I did to maybe help others with the same problem.

Now, however, I'm noticing a different problem. When I login with a dummy account on my website, it tells me this:

503: Service Temporarily Unavailable
Too many IP addresses accessing one secure area!
Please contact Support if you require assistance.

I thought maybe this would only be temporary, but I tried logging on again with the dummy account and am still getting the message. I can login with my Admin account though, so not sure what's going on? I don't know if that's something I should ask WordPress about as well? Just curious if you've come across this problem before?

It may be worthy to note that this only started happening after the subscription of the dummy account ended. I purchased a subscription for something on my site with the dummy account, and it expired recently. After it expired, I've been having this problem.

Any help is much appreciated : )

Thanks,
Ray

Re: login redirect problem

2011-07-04T11:05:24-05:00

You're being required Level 0 (being logged in) to view page 908. Is that the page you chose as the Login Welcome Page? The page you choose for that gets protected at Level 0 (be logged in), and you'd get sent to the Membership Options Page with a URL like that if you try to view it logged out.

Re: login redirect problem

2011-07-04T03:52:59-05:00

All right, now I'm having the same problem I've been reading about a lot of other places: the login redirect problem. Here's the URL I get:

/membership-options/?s2member_seeking=page-908&s2member_level_req=0

I have double-checked the page-restriction options, the login welcome page option, etc.
I've spent way too many hours trying to figure this and that out, double checking my S2 settings, etc. I even did the FireBug thing and removed the whole hidden input tag, all to no avail. I'm starting to get desperate. We really need to get this site up and running ASAP, and this is a crucial factor that needs to be dealt with. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm using current version of S2Member Pro and WordPress. Current theme is an Elegant Theme. Current plugins are
- Limit Login Attempts
- Jetpack
- VideoPress
- WordPress Importer
- WP Show IDs.

I'd be more than willing to supply the info needed to access my dashboard to help solve the problem.

Thank you for your help!

Re: login redirect problem

2011-06-15T19:11:43-05:00

So, what is the problem? That the person that logs in with a Facebook account doesn't get sent to a particular page right after login, or that he can't access Level 0 content although he's logged in?

The screenshot you just showed, says that the person got sent to the Membership Options Page because he was trying to access a category that requires Level 0, which doesn't look like he couldn't view the Login Welcome Page (it's a category that bounced him), but it does look wrong if he is logged in (Level 0).

Re: login redirect problem

Hmm Heres what im trying to point out..

I have a Members Area page (which contains the category that has level 0 access)
Once a non logged in visitor visits the Membership Area page, he will be redirected to the Membership Signup Page.. Then After he log in using facebook connect on the Membership Signup Page, Hes not redirected to the Members Area (which he wants to visit).. Hes logged in But still remained on the membership signup page..

Heres the preview:
take note at the URL..
Not redirected after logging In

Re: login redirect problem

2011-06-15T02:21:23-05:00

Well, if you don't have a Login Welcome Page configured, s2Member will be confused about where the Subscriber should be redirected after logging in. So your control over this behavior is through the Login Welcome Page you configure with s2Member. Or have you done something to alter this behavior in some way?

I just logged in and took a quick look.
It looks like you have not yet configured s2Member with a Login Welcome Page.
Please see the attached screenshot.
