Moderate Free Registrations

[nigeld]

Hi,

I have setup s2Member and have it working as a free registration site to protect some content (thanks to Jason's answer in another thread). The problem is we need to review registrations and approve them before users will be able to access the content. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Nigel

Hi Nigel. Thanks for the great question.

The problem is we need to review registrations and approve them before users will be able to access the content. Is there a way to do this?

s2Member does not come with a built-in review process.
However, I've seen many site owners set things up like this:

1. Allow Open Registration.
2. Protect content, by requiring Level #1 access.
3. Manually review Free Registrations, and upgrade them manually to Level #1 through the Users panel inside WordPress. You can change the Role of a specific User, by upgrading them from Level #0 ( a Free Subscriber ), to one of the official s2Member Levels. This would then make it possible for them to access content restricted from Level #1 access.
