Hey all. Sorry if these are dumb questions, but the s2Member interface and all the options are a little overwhelming for me, and I'd appreciate some help.

I basically have a WordPress blog set up that sells one product. The "sales page" for this product is hard coded into the theme and is the front page for the blog. It has a "BUY NOW" button, and I'd like this to redirect to Paypal for the amount of $9.99, and when the user successfully buys the product, they need to be redirected to a special page on my blog with the product download links.

What I don't really want is a special page on my blog with the Paypal button. I want the Paypal button to be on my front page, with my landing page.

I have already set up my Paypal information with s2Member, but I'm having trouble working out how to do what I mentioned above.

Here's my blog URL: http://unlockjailbreaks.com/

As you can see, the front page is my landing page, and I want the "BUY NOW" button to redirect to Paypal and then redirect back to my product download page when the user buys the product.

Thanks!

It's fine if you want to have a static homepage that has the sales copy, just don't make it the Membership Options or Login Welcome Page since that can create conflicts.

You don't need to have the button in a special page, you can put it anywhere your prospect can have access to. So, for example, if your prospects won't have an account in your site, make sure the button is in a page publicly available.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply. It does help.

I have s2Member configured to redirect the user to a special page when their Paypal payment is complete, and using the button generator I put the HTML code on my static landing page. It seems to be working

Just one more question though, the page I have set up to redirect the user to after payment is called "Members Page", and it appears in my navigation bar. If I go to it as an admin (logged in), I can see the page contents, and if I log out (normal user) and try to access the page it says "404 Not Found".

You can see here:

Is there a way to stop it saying 404 not found and instead just redirect the user back to the homepage?

Thanks!

Cool! Looks like you're almost there.

This page, are you sure it exists? http://unlockjailbreaks.com/?page_id=6

Check in your Pages if it exists and if it has any s2Member restriction (it'd have a lock at the right of its row which will display the restriction if you place the mouse pointer on it). WP Admin -> Pages
