The plugin is still working very well, you can do almost anything, especially using shorcodes and the “if” function.
Cristian is actively working on the plugin, and provides a great support. Other plugins I used have become more expensive and the support is a nightmare, while is so easy to get in touch with Cristián Lávaque.
5 star for me, I’m happy I discovered this plugin many years ago and that it’s still supported and woking very well!
Cristian got back to me super quick and resolved my problem.
Unusual to have such great customer service.
It is a great plugin and so versatile.
thanks Cristian
I have been using this plugin for a couple of my websites and it’s a great plugin. The support for this plugin is A1. They have been more than helpful in getting me pointed in the right direction and getting my issues resolved in a timely manner.
I would recommend this plugin to anyone looking for a very robust membership plugin.
Highly recommended!
Had an issue where s2member PayPal buttons were causing a strange intermittent error. Cristian responded promptly to my s2member Pro support request and with his help we sorted the problem.
Very grateful :).

(Framework) Fix: Improved PayPal Checkout webhook idempotency to prevent duplicate processing during repeated/concurrent webhooks, while preserving normal behavior.
(Framework) Fix: Resolved a PayPal IPN issue where some subscr_cancel notifications were ignored because the cancellation handler failed before it had fully identified the recurring subscription.
(Framework) Improvement: Added IPN Signup Var lookups for missing PayPal cancellation IPN values like period1, period3, item_number, item_name, and payer_email, preventing valid subscr_cancel notifications from being ignored.
(Framework) Improvement: Moved s2Member’s translation files to /languages, following the WordPress standard, and updated .mo loading to support that directory while continuing to support the standard and legacy WordPress locations.
(Framework) Improvement: Hardened PayPal Standard IPN endpoint response handling and added debug logging for hosts/security layers that incorrectly return HTTP 403 after successful processing.
