Can't figure out how to create a login tab for members

[Jane1]

Hi,

How do I create a Login tab that members who have already gone paid can click on from the homepage to login to their account?

After reviewing the S2member info, I've seen instruction on how to set up a welcome page that members will be redirected to after loging in but how do I let them login in the first place?

From what I can tell, the login in page seems to be mywebsite.com/wp-login.php. Do I need to create this as a separate page that goes on my navigation bar? The problem I've encountered is that wordpress won't let you save it as .php but changes it to wp-login-php so I don't know how to make that page exist from the home page.

On a side note, another question has since come up about the registration page though. What is the link that those who just paid are being sent to after paypal to register a username and password?


Thank you.

Hi Jane.

To have the Login link in your navigation, just create it poiting to that URL you mentioned. You can search google on how to add links to your WordPress menu.

About the email, it's the one s2Member sends after payment. That link will let them register in case they didn't register right after checkout and you have Open Registration disabled, it'll also set the new account at the right level they paid for instead of Level 0 (Subscriber) if you have Open Registration enabled.

WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Cofirmation Email
Wp Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Open Registration

I hope that helps.

Thanks so much and I appreciate the info about linking to the login page.
