First of all, great plugin!

Pardon if I have missed this option...

I have subscriptions (via PayPal) on my site and would like the ability to have 'members only' pages available only to those who have already subscribed. As I see it, the members only option using s2Member requires the visitor to make a pmt via PP to enter protected page. Again, pardon if I have missed a step or three.

Is there some sort of option to add to the members page, which I create, that allows them to simply register with their paypal email, or something to that affect?

On a tangent...what if the visitor/subscriber makes a non-PP user pmt via PP (just uses CC)...this user would have no PP email address.

Hi Scott. Thanks for writing in.

Yes, but you can also upgrade existing WordPress Users to one of the s2Member Roles. Go to WordPress Dashboard -> Users. You can use the bulk editing tools to modify many accounts all at once. This allows you to upgrade existing Users, by converting them to Members, at a specific Level of your choosing. There will be no payments associated if you do this however. This would be a free upgrade.

If you want to charge them, you'll need to generate a PayPal Button using s2Member's Button Generator. Then have them click your PayPal Button while they are logged in. This will upgrade their existing User account, by converting it to a Member account that is tied to a PayPal Subscription.

I hope this clarifies things a bit. If you still have questions though.. fire away.
