New User Registration - Automatic Page Creation

#1

Hello! I’m new to s2Member and WP - so I will apologize for my naivety upfront. I also apologize if this has been asked and answered before - I was unable to find an answer solution to this question. I’d also like to state upfront that I have done development work before - so I certainly can appreciate the work/difficulties that make “the magic” happen. I know that what I’m going to be asking is a tall order, may not even be possible inside of s2Member and that manually doing these steps may be the only way to go - I just thought I’d check and see if anyone has experience this this scenario:

I’m looking to setup a site where someone can register and have their own protected page/area on my site; just as is discussed in this s2Member video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBltDUopo1U

My question is: can the steps for creating the users page and applying the custom capabilities be automated?

I’m looking to see if there is a way to skip the manual process of creating a page for a new user, applying a custom capability to their account and page.

I am looking for an automated registration process that will:

  1. Create a WP page (based on a template) for a new user that will be used as their s2Member Login Welcome Page

  2. Set the Page Level Restriction to #0 (or perhaps that could be part of the template?)

  3. Add the username as a custom capability to the WP User Account

  4. Add the username as a custom capability to the newly created page for the user

Thanks in advance!

Hi Zack. Welcome!

Yeah, what you ask is not something in s2 out of the box, but it’s possible with a customization.

You could use the signup/registration notification to trigger a hack that does those for you.

Here are a couple articles that will give you a head-start:

I hope that helps! :slight_smile:
