I took on a project from a previous web host and it has been my first and so far only experience with this member plugin. Just from lack of personal experience I was tempted to try to rebuild the existing user system using other plugins and apps that I had more knowledge of – but at the same time it housed a large existing member database and I wanted to try to work within the existing framework if possible. I was having a lot of trouble accomplishing what I needed to work and asked for assistance through s2 support and I am so impressed with the level of professionalism, prompt response, ease of understanding the needs I had, and basically – meeting me on my level. I really cannot express enough appreciation for this level of support. I feel like Cristián is now a true colleague that I can continue to bring issues to and maybe in some small way I’ll even contribute to future s2member enhancements to this already extremely powerful member plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/22a2e9f2a45578bb6630b82663d8b9106ba480b5c683cd674020f4634667b398? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Support in 2026 is still great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-in-2026-is-still-great/)󠁿 [leoravera](https://profiles.wordpress.org/leoravera/) মাৰ্চ 22, 2026 1টা প্ৰত্যুত্তৰ 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! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ecdb38b9bc63920a5fa01f4d4f84ae5c5a8615fec21031daf76b10d1cee60d1a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Absolutely fantastic support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/absolutely-fantastic-support-6/)󠁿 [paul16f1](https://profiles.wordpress.org/paul16f1/) ফেব্ৰুৱাৰী 21, 2026 1টা প্ৰত্যুত্তৰ 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 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a336f3f8c4b03c2a2eba72fdb369b2a6a97d57a839d1d3f453cc8ef7dee4df21? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This plugin and support are awesome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-plugin-and-support-are-awesome/)󠁿 [kemmieg](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kemmieg/) অক্টোবৰ 22, 2025 1টা প্ৰত্যুত্তৰ I have been using this plugin for a couple of my websites and it’s a great plugin.

The validation is designed to be reasonably broad, including standard UK formats and related special cases. Thanks to Gerard Earley for contributing the patch. See [thread 12200](https://f.wpsharks.com/t/12200) * (Framework) **Enhancement:** Added a new **General Options > s2Get Shortcode** setting to allow `user_id` for whitelisted user fields, defaulting to current- user. Also updated the s2Get KB article accordingly. * (Pro) **Fix:** Updated Stripe card charge and PaymentIntent requests to use ` statement_descriptor_suffix` instead of `statement_descriptor`, fixing card-payment errors where Stripe no longer accepts `statement_descriptor` for card payments. * (Pro) **Fix:** Corrected Stripe subscription checkout so resumed PaymentIntent flows no longer go through the wrong intent-status handler. * (Pro) **Fix:** Stripe now stops cleanly after card declines, instead of continuing into secondary intent/payment-method errors. * (Pro) **Fix:** Improved Stripe recurring-payment setup to better support future- charge authorization requirements, fixing failures in countries with stricter payment rules, including India. * (Pro) **Fix:** Stripe now updates recurring default payment methods only after a successful intent result, instead of earlier in checkout. * (Pro) **Fix:** Billing-update SetupIntent creation failures in Stripe now return the proper error response. * (Pro) **Fix:** Prevent duplicate/retried Stripe webhook events from being processed more than once, including near-simultaneous retries of the same Stripe event ID * (Pro) **Fix:** prevent Stripe billing modification/replacement from triggering EOT behavior for the cancelled old subscription while s2Member is still updating the member account with the new subscription. * (Pro) **Fix:** Removed a trailing-comma syntax issue in Stripe subscription update code that could cause PHP compatibility errors on older supported PHP versions. * (Pro) **Fix:** s2Member now cleans up incomplete subscriptions left behind by failed 3D Secure authentication attempts during Stripe checkout, and gives the customer a more clear payment failure message. * (Pro) **Improvement:** Added dedicated s2 Stripe log entries for non-fatal failures while updating the default payment method after successful intent completion. #### v260312 * (Framework) **Fix:** Prevent a PHP 8.1+ deprecation notice from appearing above the admin Users table in some cases. * (Framework) **Security:** Improved debug log sanitization. * (Framework) **Improvement:** PayPal Checkout credential test and OAuth failure log entries now include client_len_hash / secret_len_hash values (length_hash, e.g. 80_4d9a7c1b2e8f4a21) to help compare attempted credentials during troubleshooting without exposing raw values. * (Framework) **Enhancement:** Added a new _No-Cache Headers Behavior_ option under _General Options > Performance & Caching_, making no-cache behavior configurable from the admin UI. It includes: - `Always` mode, the legacy safe default that prevents caching site-wide in case user-conditional output appears. - `Selective` mode, which was previously available only through a filter and may improve caching for guests, but can miss some runtime no-cache triggers. - The new `Evaluative` beta mode, which evaluates the page with more runtime information and may allow more pages to be cached safely for guests. - An optional debug header to help troubleshoot no-cache behavior. * (Framework) **UI:** Clarified the Download Options text to explain that unique download limits are counted in the last X days (rolling window), reducing confusion about whether the limit resets on fixed calendar dates. * (Framework) **UI**: Improved the PayPal Checkout credentials test failure message. * (Framework) **UI:** Fixed the PayPal button encryption admin notice so that it shows only to administrators in the WP Admin area, not non-admin users. #### v260301 * (Framework) **Bug Fix:** Fixed mismatched `
