Hi there,

Just bought s2Member Pro, and I love it for my PayPal Pro integration. Here is my situation... My site has three (3) different courses; for each one, I want an independent subscription price (recurring fees) and independent access. Unlike currently with s3Member's "Level 1-4" which build onto another.

For example: I could subscribe to Course A, access its materials, but not access Course B or Course C. Having already subscribed to Course A, if I subscribed to course C, I could access both A and C, but not B. Hopefully this is clear enough, if not, please ask.

I have looked at "custom capabilities", but don't quite understand how it can completely separate the different "Levels" of subscription which I can create in s2Member's PayPal Pro Forms. Ideally I could create a PayPal Pro Form using one level for each course, but then I run the risk of having "Level 3" members be able to access Course A, B and C, even though they just paid for one Course's subscription.

Currently, I can use Level 0 Access to force signup to access the "free protected content", which is great!

So the question is: Are "custom capabilities" what I need to solve my dilemma, or is there a better / alternate solution?

Thanks!

Custom capabilities would be the solution to not have the increasing access that levels give. The problem would be, though, that you can only sell with single payments, not subscriptions yet.

Levels can be used without the increasing access with a little work. You can use conditionals like WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Simple/Shortcode Conditionals -> Example #3

You could combine that with the hack Jason shares in the 2nd part of the Custom Capabilities video. http://www.s2member.com/custom-capabilities-video/

I hope this helps.
