Hello,

i'm using s2member on my site. And the php conditionals works fine and so does the shortcodes. But, whenever I put two shortcodes, there is always some big space gap (where the shortcode is there).

For example I write this:

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some content for Members who are logged in with an s2Member Level >= 1.
[/s2If]
[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some public content.
[/s2If]

Those members who are with s2member accounts will NOT see the "Some public content" area. But rather see a big white space as if the shortcode is supposed in there.

While those area for public will NOT see the "Some content for Members" area. But rather see a big white space as if the shortcode is supposed in there.

PHP conditionals is not doing this. If the content is not visible for that user, they won't see a big white space in there. So, i'm wondering, why shortcode is doing this? Anyway to fix this? Thanks

If that's the case, then it'd be a problem with the way WordPress parses the shortcodes. Does it still leave the big empty space if you put the shortcodes one right next to the other?

Code: Select all

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some content for Members who are logged in with an s2Member Level >= 1.
[/s2If][s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some public content.
[/s2If]

hmmm...weird...when i do that, only the content for members are triggered, and the public content is showing

[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some public content.
[/s2If]

Just like that on the site. Meaning to say, it doesn't do the coding. But when i put it down just like before:

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some content for Members who are logged in with an s2Member Level >= 1.
[/s2If]
[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some public content.
[/s2If]

Both code works but just like I said, it will have some big spaces in there when it shouldn't be.

Hmm. I thought I had new reply here. So any ideas?

I guess it's a WP shortcode parsing problem, sorry.

You can use PHP instead, then.

But I cant use php on that page i'm trying to put shortcodes on. Or is it suggested to use a plugin that allows php on post and use s2member's php code on post's instead of shortcode? Would that be fine? Would it conflict or anything?

That'd be fine. You can use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/ Just remember to stick to the HTML editor when you use PHP, don't open the Visual editor or it'll mess up your code.

Now that works like a charm. Thanks. It doesn't have any spaces now. That plugin really did the trick. Thanks again.
