How to my make ProForms payment page accessible to potential members?

Go the edit page screen for this page, find the s2Member Page level Restriction box (probably on the right), and make sure that it shows a blank. Then hit Update.

It is a blank, but all of the pages are blank there. In fact, the option to choose the first two levels is greyed out.

Thanks for the suggestion, tho’. If you have any other ideas, I am willing to try them..

It’s still the right suggestion. What have you set as Page Access Restrictions?

I can’t be very specific with that as it was something that was set up with coding (not by me as I am not good with the technical stuff) almost three years ago when I created the membership site.

I think it is unusual to have the entire site “behind walls” and so I couldn’t use the usual settings….

Ah, there’s your problem!

You don’t need special coding to keep a whole site “behind walls.” Several of my sites are like that, and I do it entirely through regular s2Member functions.

You need to get rid of the coding, which is probably overriding the regular s2Member settings, and then set the Page Access Restrictions either by page ID, or on each page’s edit screen according to user role. You then leave your registration page blank, as I said, and voila!

We might be able to identify the coding if it’s in your mu-plugins folder. Do you have such a folder (which will be a subfolder of wp-content)? If so, do you have a file called s2-hacks.php?

Before I go looking for that, am I correct in understanding that I would have to change the restriction settings on each page and post to make this approach work? If so, that won’t be my answer….for today anyway…as I have more than seven hundred posts and opening to new members tomorrow morning….

I don’t know whether you’d need to change your settings for posts, because I don’t know whether the custom coding you had done covered posts. But that change might be easy anyway. You’d just set all for level 1 in Post Access Restrictions, and then identify any that need setting higher either by ID or by category (or maybe by tag).

For pages, though, yes, you would have to set them all individually, either on the Page Access Restriction screen or on each page’s edit screen.

I am going to send my wonderful tech person a link to this thread and see if she can take care of this today while I am working on other deadlines.

I don’t have that many Pages, so it sounds doable.

Really grateful for your help!

Thanks again…you’ve made it possible for me to sleep well tonight. I’ve made the page visible that needed to be and it will be a simple, if tedious, thing to set the other pages with restrictions.

It worked! And I will be able to sleep well tonight. It is tedious, but simple to change the settings on all of the other pages.

Your help is so appreciated.

You’re very welcome!

I’m glad to hear it all worked, and thanks for letting me know!
