This is still an issue for me as well (I’m on stablehost) – I don’t know why this post is marked ‘resolved’ – I made the changes on every single wordpress installation.

I have the very same issue. I’m with Stablehost shared hosting and am receiving the same message: “The changes have not yet taken effect. …”

I do have a number of wordpress installations: each one is installed in a parallel directory under public_html/. I wonder whether multiple wordpress installations on one account may be causing this particular issue? Do I need to add the firewall to each wordpress installation before it works for any of them?

I’m adding a comment here so I receive an update as I cannot find a post that shares the solution to this particular issue.

Thank you.

Thanks @krumch, I appreciate your response.

I raised the issue with S2Member support as well and installed a hack which works for me for now.

BTW, for anyone who wants to know the hack, here it is:

Create the following directory and file:
../wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php

All that needs to be added to s2-hacks.php are these two lines:
<?php
add_filter(‘ws_plugin__s2member_mailchimp_double_optin’, ‘__return_false’);
