will s2member breaking if changing domains?

I set up my site on a temporary subdomain such as xyz.domain1.com. I then moved the site over to www.domain2.com. So in General settings, my wordpress url is different than my site address url.

If I switch the wordpress url to match the site address url, will that break anything within the s2member structure in terms of paypal checkout or current settings? I'll keep the wp_config to still point to the correct db, username, and pwd.

Well, any setting that's still pointing to the old subdomain will cause trouble. The s2Member URLs for return and notify that you entered in your PayPal settings, for example. If the buttons had an attribute with a URL, they'd need updating. The custom attribute for the shortcode may need updating too, try generatinga new button and see if the custom attribute's value changed. You'll have to review all your settings to update every URL from he old subdomain to the new one.

I hope that helps.
