Automatic Member Approval Not Happening

#1

I’ve looked but haven’t seen where I can find this answer. Any recommendations most welcomed. People who purchase a membership (via PayPal) are put in the category of pending members, whereas I’d like payment to grant them automatic membership, which I believe should be the default. Using s2Member Pro Version 220421 (current)

#2

Hi Cliff,

If you haven’t yet, could you enable logging in case we can get some insight into this? Then please reproduce the behavior and look for all relevant entries in the logs. WP Admin > s2Member > Log files

Is the user paying first and registering second, or register and login first to then pay the upgrade?

Did you verify that your s2-paypal integration configuration is complete and correct?

:slight_smile:

#3

Thanks for the input, Cristian. Is there a particular log file, or log file type I should be examining?

This is one of the sign up pages: https://www.brugmansia.us/community/au-us-ca-member/ The user pays and then winds up in pending member status. I think this started just a couple of months ago. People used to pay and then were automatically members (the different S2 levels represent different parts of the world)

I believe PayPal is set up appropriately. I remember stepping through everything some time ago. That said, it is possible that I missed something.

#4

Hi Cliff,

It may be in the core-rtn log, check all logs for any relevant entries, and show them to me, please. (edit any personal info pls, e.g. real email, real name)

If you had paypal working fine already, it sounds like your integration is fine. I wonder what changed that made it start behaving like this now.

:slight_smile:

Thanks so much for looking at this, Cristian. I’m including below the two most recent entries and two oldest entries from the gateway-cor-rtn.log file. Private info redacted.

Hi Cliff,

Thanks for the log entries.

I don’t see a problem there. It mentions setting the cookie, and asking the user to register. What do you mean then by the user being

You mentioned this before, and I missed commenting on it before. s2 doesn’t automatically create an account for a user when they pay with the PayPal Standard buttons integration, they still have to register. I see this being the same in the older log entries, doesn’t seem to have been different before.

People who purchase a membership (via PayPal) are put in the category of pending members, whereas I’d like payment to grant them automatic membership

I thougth that by pending you meant something else, but now I’m suspecting you’re talking about the fact that they still don’t have an account on your site and now have to register. Is this what you mean?

If the user is already logged in when he pays, his account is immediately upgraded by s2. You could have them register and login first, and pay later.

If you have s2Member Pro, you could use a PayPal pro-form, which would register the user and send him to PayPal to complete the payment, essentially doing what you’re asking. E.g. https://s2member.com/checkout/?type=&gateway=paypal

:slight_smile:
