Previous paid members folded into s2Member

[skoorey]

Hello! I watched all of your wonderful video tutorials but could not find the answer to this question.

I have a site that I am converting to Wordpress and have installed your s2Member plugin. I would like to move my existing paid members to the new installation so that they have paid access without having to pay again. Is this possible? Can I manually add them without going through paypal? Or can I import them somehow?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,
Stefani

s2Member has very powerful import/export tools.
You can find them under WP Admin -> s2Member -> Import/Export.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! I was worried that I would have to go PRO for just this one option.

Cheers!

You're welcome!
Anything else you need just ask.

Stefani, the User Import in s2Member is a Pro feature. Eduán wasn't clear about that in his post.

Anyway, that's only needed to do the users in bulk, but you can still add them manually to your WordPress installation, including their role (to access the members content) and subscription information (the gateway paypal, the user's subscr. ID with PayPal if paying recurringly, or an EOT (end of term: yyyy-mm-dd) if they paid for a set time).

I hope that helps.

Oops!
I'm sorry, since I have the Pro version, it's kind of hard to know.
Sorry.

No problem, I've made that mistake myself a couple of times.
