i went through all my settings, and everything is set up fine, but when i am going to my website the log in menu doesn't even show up. any suggestions? im using a photocrati template, im not sure if thats causing any problems.

Hi brs777,

Where are you expecting to see the login menu?

If you're using s2Member Pro, you can add a Login Widget to a widget-enabled area on your theme, but otherwise you'll need to point people to http://example.com/wordpress/wp-login.php to login.

If your theme supports custom menus, you can add a "Login" menu item that points to that link by going to WP Admin -> Appearance -> Menus -> Custom Links. If your theme doesn't support custom menus, you'll need to edit your theme's header.php file and add the link manually.

well the s2member has it set up for people to be directed straight to the login welcome page.... and then from there what i understand is that you have to login before viewing any of the restricted pages.... but that is not even working... you type in my site and it brings you to the original (blog) page wordpress sets up...and when i click on the welcome login page the box still wont turn up....

The Login Welcome Page is the page that members see after they login; it's not the login page itself.

When someone who isn't logged into your site tries to visit the Login Welcome Page, s2Member will redirect them to the Membership Options Page (WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Membership Options Page).

The Membership Options Page is where you describe your membership levels and offer a way to signup. If you have s2Member Pro and you want to offer free registration, you can create a Free Registration Form on this page. Otherwise, you can use a PayPal Button (WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Buttons) to offer access to a specific membership level.

After registering or purchasing access, your members would need to visit the login page (http://example.com/wordpress/wp-login.php) to login, and then after logging in they would be redirected to the Login Welcome Page. From there, you can point them to the various pages they should have access to.

Non-logged in users, or logged-in users who don't have access to a page/post that you've protected (using WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restriction Options, or the s2Member widget on the edit page/post screen) will be redirected to the Membership Options Page by s2Member, not the login page.

right, but the registration box isnt even pulling up...thats my problem....its just a blank screen

brs777, could you send us a photo of your problem?
