Hi!
I'm using the free version of s2member as I'm only using it to restrict access to via member levels that are granted by the admin rather than paypal. But I am looking forward to the update when i will be able to restrict uri's by and word scraps in uri's the same way you can with the levels using only your very clean and easy to use interface then we'll be able to start offering custom paid content with out the need to add any code to pages or templates.

I only have One question and I'm sure its an easy one to answer, i'm about to set a site open to search engines via submission and enabling from wordpress. I just wanted a "from the devleopers mouth" confirmation that search engines will not be able to index the restricted content and not even the post / page titles will show up in search engine traffic. We are hoping to use the site for private non public disscussions (Its a motorcycle club website and club member only content cannot be leaked across the internet.) and content member only access and I am just making sure that this content if protected by s2member search engines will not be able to even access titles of posts and pages to index to display them rather than just the link to the page being re-directed.

I hope its an easy question.
the sites pretty much built already with basic s2member restrictions in place.

Thanks alot for the plugin all your hard work.
I will be using it again and recommending it to anyone and everyone. Excellent.

When you protect a page/post with access restrictions that redirect the person to the Membership Options Page, that'll mean the page is off-limits to anyone without the right access, that includes the search engines.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Cristian

Yes that's great I assumed it would and seemed unlikely to be otherwise. But just for peace of mind....

On another note I was going to ask about setting custom wp-role capp via a ccapp upgrade per user, but I did a search and saw that you've enlisted a plugin to make that possible. Another win for you guys.

S2Member is truly an essential plugin for wp / bp and will be on all my installations from now on. and I will be looking into getting the premium version when the site grows to its need.

It may be no master-piece but Its running in pre-launch status here http://www.troopersmotorcycleclub.co.uk/
Thank you to you guys for making this possible and so easy.
