Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this is a WP 3.2 specific problem but that's what I am running with Buddypress 1.2.9 now.

I have just noticed that the account creation link emailed to paying customers is still active after a succesful registration following clicking it.

If you click it again, it won't let you register a premium account and it doesn't associate any Paypal info with it, but it does lead to the registration page where users can sign up again, resulting in a Free (subscriber) account.

I think I used to remember the link taking you to a 'link Expired' page when I have tested it before.

Can anyone confirm if this is a bug?

Ross

Thanks for reporting this Ross!
As always, it's a pleasure to hear from you.

Well, this should only happen when/if you have Open Registration enabled. s2Member will make an attempt to validate the paid registration; if that fails ( i.e. the Customer has already registered ), but Open Registration is enabled, s2Member will allow the Customer to register again, but this time with a Free Subscriber status.


@TODO: I definitely see your point though. This seems counter-intuitive to me. I'll see what we can do to improve upon this in the next release. I think s2Member should display "Link Expired" in cases such as the one you've described, just to avoid any confusion about what's actually going on.

Great stuff Jason! As usual, You're a genius!
