I wrote a page today (not a post) that I wanted only to be accessible by level 3 members. So, in the drop down box in page edit window I chose that it would be viewable by Level 3 members. This was a page agreeing to our website guidelines, so wanted everyone to just comment at the bottom of the page that they read it.

When I published it, the comments template was not there. I double checked all of my wordpress comments settings and made sure the page had comments enabled, as well as checked my theme to make sure it was using the standard wordpress comments template tag.

When I removed the s2member access restriction, the comments template did show as it is supposed to.

So, I don't know if maybe this is bug or something I missed in s2member settings, but thought I would see if anyone had any ideas here.

Did you ever work this out? I have the same problem.

Same problem. There seems to be a conflict.

Thanks for reporting this important issue.

I can tell you that s2Member does not deal specifically with comments at all, as these are protected through a broader perspective with Page/Post Restrictions in general. In other words, protecting a Post/Page with s2Member, automatically locks the spool of Comments on that Post/Page, because access to the Permalink is denied for anyone that does not have adequate permission.

Are any of you running BuddyPress when this happens?
( the default BuddyPress theme does not display comments on Pages )
Are any of you using s2Member's Alternative View Protection?

So far we've been unable to reproduce this.
~Awaiting additional feedback.

Could you guys give more details about your installations? WordPress and s2member version numbers. Do you have this problem using the default theme and without other plugins?

Running WordPress 3.1.1. S2Clean 1.2.4. S2Member 3.5.8 + Pro Module v1.5.8.
