Is there any update on Purchase or download history for a customers “My Account” area? Any suggestions?

From what I see you can use the Billing Update form on a seperate page. I put in button links, using html, in the My Account page pointing to a new page that contains this type of shortcode: [s2Member-Pro-Stripe-Form update=”1″ desc=”Update your billing information.” default_country_code=”US” captcha=”1″ /]

Are you saying your folks have to change their billing plan too? I see that as a separate set of forms under “Billing Modification” accordion.

I found out that this for SURE needs a separate page for the code to work properly. The suggestion came from Jason on this page: https://s2member.com/kb-article/how-do-i-let-my-members-upgrade-or-downgrade-their-account/.

I hope this helps others. My code above works perfectly now.

I actually like @catacaustic main point.

If the user has to be logged in to access each site, then create a multi-site.

If there is no login needed and it is more like a Craigslist setup, I would imagine you would also want a multi-site here as it is easier to manage one set of Plugins and one WP Core than 10-15 single installations. Imagine the headache of having to update the CORE and Plugins in each installation vs one and done.

Hope that helps.

Thanks @catacaustic, I will ask immediately!

The two domains will not overlap or interact with each other.

The premise is that one Domain is to the marketing side, landing pages, upcoming events, blog, contact info, etc.

The other Domain will be secured and handle only the Membership and Store interactions. So it will have a membership area, s2Member, to start with and then later have WooCommerce activated to handle digital and non-digital purchases.

If you, or anyone, can think of any good practices I should follow, or traps to beware of, for this setup with the second installation and having WooCommerce and S2Member I would appreciate it.

So I was wrong. Those do show up with you go to the video page, however, I am still not seeing the player. I can get the player to show up when I am in the Gallery administion area, but not when I am on the videos page.

I can provide you with a user/pass to see this if you are committed to helping me resolve it. Otherwise, I will have to move on to another Video solution. Thanks.

It looks like I am missing the following lines in my header compared to another site using Cool Video Gallery, any reason these would not appear?

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=’/wp-content/plugins/cool-video-gallery/css/cvg-styles.css” type=”text/css” />

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/wp-content/plugins/cool-video-gallery/cvg-player/jwplayer.js”></script>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/wp-content/plugins/cool-video-gallery/third_party_lib/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack.js”></script>

<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”/wp-content/plugins/cool-video-gallery/third_party_lib/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.css” media=”screen” />

A plugin I found useful is the Widget Wrangler. It may be the answer you are looking for. Furthermore, you can create multiple widgets and assign different widgets per page or just the three for the entire site. See what you think.

Thank you Seacoast. When we switch next week I will do that.

Here is my .htaccess file for the sub-domain install. Remember that I created the DB and user manually, and linked them in the MySQL admin. Everything is working great, just need to figure out two things:

1) why does the link newsite.dramanotebook.com point to dramanotebook.com/newsite? How/what do I change to make it link to the sub-domain? I am hoping this does not cause issues when I redirect the main domain name to the sub-domain.

2) Why do I have to hard code the sub-domain in the URL for images, in my pages I create, before the /wp-content/? The Header image does fine in CSS, but in the “pages” I create and link to an image makes me now input the /newsite/ sub-domain in front of the /wp-content/.

HTACCESS:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /newsite/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /newsite/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>

# END WordPress

Just thought I would ping again as I didn’t see any answer to this. I appreciate any help or advice, or even if there is a known posting somewhere the addresses this type of scenario.

Thanks,
Jim
