I would like to be able to offer viewers the opportunity to pay for an view specific pages within my site. However, I would also like them to be able to become a member and then they would be able to view the pages for free as part of their subscription. According to the instructions with the plugin it looks as if I would have to duplicate pages to be able to do this whereby some pages are sold separately, but then bundled for a membership. The instructions I'm referring to are these:

Specific Post/Page Access Restrictions:

Also, please be careful not to create a conflict with other Access Restrictions. If you are going to sell Specific Post/Page Access, you should enter specific Post/Page IDs here; and make SURE that you've NOT already protected any of these Posts/Pages with Member Level Access Restrictions. In other words, if you configure s2Member, in such as a way, that a Post/Page requires Membership Level Access, you cannot sell that same Post/Page through Specific Post/Page Access. Doing so, would create a conflict. Customers that purchased Specific Post/Page Access, would be unable to access the Post/Page - without also having a Membership. Not good. So be careful with this.

Am I correct - is there a more elegant way to do this? Thx.

Well, if I understood your question correctly, you can achieve what you want combining open registration with custom capabilities.

Please take a look at these for more information on them:

WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Open Registration / Free Subscribers
WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Custom Capabilities

Hope that helps you achieve what you want.

Thx. I set this up using the custom capability shortcode for that particular post.

Just taken in your signature so went back to Wordpress to vote on on whether it works with WP3.1 (yes!) and also give it my vote (5 stars). This is quite an exceptional plugin - congratulations and thanks to the developers. I'll be making my donation...
