Out of curiosity, how many members or registrations are not listed in the payment list?

When going through the list, I count three out of the 20 latest PayPal payments (registered at PayPal) which are not in the Payment list of the plugin.

Thanks, Ralf

I can’t find any conflicting plugins.
I use other commands from the same plugin, like hiding and showing specific info for different members groups and I also use a command for showing the name of the logged-in user on the webpage, but this specific command doesn’t work…
I can’t solve this. To me it seems like a problem with the specific command
[swpm_show_member_info column=”expiry_date”]
I removed it from the webpage, as it creates a crash of the webpage in which it is used.

This new version 1.9 of the Show Member Info Addon did unfortunately not solve my problem.

The page with the command [swpm_show_member_info column=”expiry_date”] on the profile page works when I first login and then go to the profile page. However, if I am not logged in and click on the link to the profile page, the error appears. This does not happen when I am not logged in and go to any other page in the members only area.
As soon as I remove the line: [swpm_show_member_info column=”expiry_date”]
from the profile page works again….

[Ralf]

Update: I isolated the sole cause of the error to be the command:

[swpm_show_member_info column=”expiry_date”]

When I remove this command, which I added manually to the profile page (and which worked just fine before!) and leave the other codes in, everything works as it should!
Can this command be checked/changed so it works again?

Thanks

Hi, I created a new (identical in text) page with the block editor, with the same results.
However, as soon as I removed all commands like:

[/swpm_protected]
[swpm_protected for=”3-9-11-12″ do_not_show_protected_msg=”1″]
[swpm_show_member_info column=”expiry_date”]

the page shows and works as it should.
(P.S. The command [swpm_profile_form] seems to be accepted though when saving in WP without any objections)

When I leave the lines in, I cannot save the page as a draft. I get the error message in a red box :
“Uppdatering misslyckades. Svaret är inget giltigt JSON-svar”, which is in English:

“Update failed. Response is not a valid JSON-reply” (or something very close to that…)

I use the swmp-protected-command to show different messages on the profile page for different membership levels. This is the only page where this command is used. So the problem doesn’t seem to depend on the type of editor (or perhaps not even on the WP-theme), but the swmp commands.
Any suggestions?

[Ralf]

I think I found something…
It could be related to the type of editor I use in the WP admin zone: block- or classic editor. I have used classic for that specific profile page. All other pages are created with the block editor, but not the profile page. When I open the WP page in WP admin mode, and I open it with “block-editor”, I get the same fault:

Exception thrown
subcript_period parameter must be integer in SwpmUtils::calculate_subscription_period_days method

When I open the WP page in WP admin with the classic editor, it shows just fine.
When I try to switch the page from being a classic-editor page to a blockeditor page (option in settings: “convert to blockeditor”), I get the same error as mentioned above.

Anyhow, it seems like a real “plugin / WP problem”! I may not be the only one with this problem?
Any suggestions?

[Ralf]

Thanks for the reply!

I was perhaps not clear regarding the problem. The membership-profile page does exist. If I go to the login page FIRST and THEN to the membership-profile page it works just fine.
If I go a any member restricted page directly, all pages show me the login page first and then, after login, I am redirected to the correct member restricted page. This was the behaviour I had with the memberhip profile page too. This is how I have set up the site for about 2 years ago. But is doesn’t work like that any more for the profile page; for all other restricted pages it does work.
Could it be a PHP-version related problem? My settings at my host (one.com) are the “latest supported version” which is 7.4 at this moment
Any suggestions?

Hi rcolesny,

Thanks for your reply, but your problem is not realy related, if I understand your issue/question correctly.
I wonder abuot the difference in access levels for theh different member status levels, like active and expired etc. What does an “expired” member see exactly. There are 5-6 different levels, and I don’t understand the difference in website behaviour for those status levels.

Anyhow, thanks for reading and replying!

Thanks for the quick reply! The solution presented there is for an upgrade, but free of charge. I need my members to pay for the difference between the two levels, but keeping the same membership time. This should be a very common case in the real world, and I was expecting a solution with the plugin for this otherwise excellent and simple to use plugin. Is there another way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

[Ralf]

Just to add more info:
When I remove the auto-login after Registration and end up at the pre-set default login window after Registration, and use the password just set during the Registration, the login works just fine, and the filling out of the “My Profile” table works fine without having to change passwords. I can update my details without any errors regarding the password.
So, there is nothing wrong with the password or the Registration, it’s the auto-login immediately after the Registration which seems to have a bug.
I am not using the Forms plugin, but only use the built-in features of the Simple Membership plugin.

[Ralf]

As I suspect that the present Registration page is somehow corrupt, I generated a new registration page, put in my own text on that new page and put the address of this new page in the list of all main page addresses on the settings page.
This worked.

[Ralf]

Hi again,
I solved it! My mistake…
I had missed to change the “after login redirection” setting on the different levels of membership pages. This line appears, even if you do not click on anyting on the Simple Membership After Login Redirection settings page.

Thanks for reading and don’t make the same mistake as I did 🙂

[Ralf]

Hi mbrsolution,
Thanks for your reply!
That sounds like a last resort solution. When deleting it, I will loose all settings (and there are many…) and I will need to redo everything.
To me this seems like a real bug in the plugin, that needs a solution.
But this is plugin is for free, so who am I to say this 🙂
But in the long run, it doesn’t help in the sales for the addons if the main free program has this kind of a bugg :-).
Anyhow, I just tested to deactivate another plugin, Simple Membership After Login Redirection, which I didn’t use (haven’t touched it – no settings done), but had it installed as I thought it would be handy, but I don’t need it for now. After that, the login button, loggs me in, but I stay on the same page, but on the correct host/URL! No more localhost:8888! From there I can reach all other pages.
So I deleted the Simple Membership After Login Redirection plugin and installed a fresh one, and activated it again (with no settings set). No difference; clicking the log-in button still sends me to the wrong host localhost:8888. The plugin seems to disturb the settings in the main plugin.
So I leave it here for now. I am not having the right flow, but it works at least…
I hope this problem can be solved!

Hi, I think I can now answer my own question, after some additional reading…
I am running on a test server, which cannot be directly reached from the internet (localhost only).
So the IPN (Instant Payment Notification) doesn’t work – PayPal cannot send a signal to the plugin after a successful purchase.
See IPN details on PayPals website for more info.

Thanks for reading.

Hi,

Thanks for a very nice plugin, HOwever, I have spent hours now trying to solve an email related issue, and I can’t fix it.
I have the option “email-activation” checked for ALL membership levels, one Free, and some paid ones.
I use the SMTP plugin – works great with test emails from plugin – no problem. Mail is sent and received.
When registering as a FREE user:
1.the activations email is sent – great.
2.after registering, an email is sent to the free member with his email and password by the system.
When registering as a PAID user, using PayPal (account or credit card – no difference), I get the confirmation from PayPal that the money arrived and the member gets a mail saying he has paid. All great! But no emails are sent out by the system about account activation or completing the registration, when the payment is successful 🙁
What is wrong here?
Thanks for any help!
