I have downloaded and installed and activated the plugin but as soon as I do, I get the error:

Code: Select all

You need PHP v5.2+ to use the s2Member plugin.

I have PHP 5.3.3 installed on my server.

Furthermore, the plugin settings don't appear in my Wordpress sidebar once it is activated.

I have tried adding:
define ("WS_PLUGIN__S2MEMBER_MIN_PHP_VERSION", "5.2");
to my wp-config file but that didn't make the plugin appear on my sidebar either.

Any suggestions?

Hi there. Thanks for your patience.

I can confirm that s2Member IS compatible with PHP v5.3.
Are you running a beta release perhaps?

Please run this test file and see what you get.

Code: Select all

<?php echo PHP_VERSION; ?>

If you take a look inside /s2member/s2member.php you will find this section of code:

Code: Select all

version_compare (PHP_VERSION, WS_PLUGIN__S2MEMBER_MIN_PHP_VERSION, ">=") 

You can remove that part of the conditional statement if you really need to.

~ Please report back if you can. Thanks!

I'm trying to use s2Member as well and I have exactly the same issue.
I just had the webhost transfer the site to a server with PHP v5.2, uninstalled and reinstalled s2Member and I still get the message and don't see anything in the dashboard for s2Member.

Please advise.

And note, I'm not a coder but I can find my way around most things with enough explanation, so please be gentle.

Many thanks.

Hi there. Thanks for reporting this important issue.

Please load this file onto your server ( anywhere ) and open it in a web browser. I'd like to see what your installation of PHP is reporting itself as; this way we'll know where the comparison issue is at.

Code: Select all

<?php echo PHP_VERSION; ?>

Thanks, Jason.
I extracted and uploaded the file. When I open it, I get this:
<?php echo PHP_VERSION; ?>

Is this what you're looking for?

Thanks for the follow-up.
No, you'll want to be sure the file has a .php extension so the contents of the file are parsed ( processed ) as PHP code. You should end up with something like this in your browser:

Code: Select all

5.2.6

Forgive my ignorance here.
When you say, Open it in your browser, what exactly do you mean?
I right clicked the file and opened it in a new tab.
Is there something else I should be doing?
Sorry if this is basic stuff. I'm learning, but not much of a techie yet.

Not a problem. Since PHP is a server-side programming language, you'll want to FTP/upload the file /php-version.php to your web server; so you can access it through a web browser.

So you might open a link in your browser that points to:

Code: Select all

http://yoursite.com/php-version.php

That will output what we need then.

I uploaded it using the upload command in the file manager of the web host. Is that not adequate?

Hi,

I have the same problem as Jethead. I am trying to install s2member to my wordpress and I get the same message. Please advise, as I don't see any solution offered, and there's three of us with the problem. Be easy on me. I'm not a coder.

Thanks,
MM
