Website Newbie Needs Help with embedding Registration Form

Hi Everyone!

I am pretty new to this, and my main problem seems to be understanding how to get the registration form embedded in one of my pages. I can only find the code for the paypal button, but not for the actual registration page. I am trying to get the registration page along with the paypal button to be in one of my already created wordpress pages. I would appreciate any help!!!

Thanks!! :?

You don't embed a registration form, S2Member uses the built in wordpress user registation process, but adds extra security restrictions to what the members can do or access based on how you setup the levels.

In your wordpress admin area, go to pages, then choose your "membership signup" page and edit.

Then enter some text to entice your prospective members into signing up - like "Click the paypal button below to become a bronze member of this site. Bronze membership entitles you to view stuff..... for $x per month" then paste your paypal button using the shortcode that you generated using "S2Member Paypal buttons"

If you want ppl to be able to sign up at level 0 (which is free) place a link on your "membership signup" page, click the html tab, then type something like this
Code: Select all

<a href="http://yourdomain.com/wordpress/?register">Click here to become a free member</a>

and write something that explains what the benefits of being a non-paying member are. You need to make sure that in the "S2member General options" -> "Open Registration / Free Subscribers" is set to yes (if you want to allow free members).

If you want to customise your signup/login section adjust the settings under "S2member General options" -> "Login/Registration Design" (in mine I just added the path to my logo in the "logo image location" box)

Hope this helps
Cheers
