"Members Area" inaccessible FIXED

Hi there,
I've installed the S2Member plugin on a new WP install and have started trying to get it working. I'm creating a site for an organisation that will have public and members-only pages. Membership payments is handled by the organisation directly so I just have to create "free" members myself. I've added two members so far, both of them just test users, but I haven't been able to get the members area page working at all. When I try to log those users in, they just get redirected to the Membership Options page (the default when users don't have sufficient privileges to access a page). I've tried setting the members area as a different page, but that doesn't help at all. Does anyone have any ideas? Do they need to be set as Level 0 subscribers? Or can I use the different levels? I don't want to open up registration to anyone and they don't need to pay using Paypal, I want to register them myself.

Please help! Any other questions or information needed, please just ask.

Thanks,
Conor

Fixed! I noticed that the users weren't staying logged in at all. A bit of Googling found this discussions (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/user ... -logged-in) and I realised that the WordPress URL did not match the site address. Changing that fixed the problem. Deadly!

It might be worth noting in the quick-start guide or maybe the FAQs, especially as the fix is so quick!
