I could not get Wishlist and EE to integrate in some small but essential ways so I’ve been trying some other membership plugins including the one you recommended, S2Member. It looks very good – although I haven’t got to the end yet!
It looks as though I need to be able to lift the restriction that EE is imposing to force the visitor to login before being able to register for an event. It appears that S2M needs to be able to do that bit.
How would I lift this restriction in EE please?
Many thanks for your help.

Hi Miranda.
If you have WP User Integration add on installed, then by default the events will be available to all but the prices will differ depending on if they are logged in.
As such it is likely that you have the even set to Member Only, so I would check that (event editor, on the right hand side, look for “Member only event”.
I would also check the Member Settings page to make sure that “Require login for all events” is set to No.

Dean, many thanks for that potentially exciting response …going to investigate all now! 🙂

Dean, you were right about both the 2 settings, which I’ve now changed but unfortunately it hasn’t solved the issue.
The issue is this (in case it sheds any light on it): if you could go to this link http://gator3027.hostgator.com/~yep1/events/
…and click on the first Read More of the first event listed there, you’ll see that it redirects to the membership registration page (part of S2M) – if I de-activate S2M then the Read More takes me to the full info for the event even though I’m not logged in. I can even register for the event.
So, although it seems it is the S2M doing that problem, I’m wondering if there’s anything that you can think of on the EE side that might make it possible for visitors to read all the event info without having to register or login?
Many thanks for your time.

Hi Miranda,
I think you were trying to customize Event Espresso to make it read all the event info without having to register or log in, right?
This is the support thread that I’m thinking of:

Yes, Josh, thank you, I was. I’ve been going through that thread this morning to see if there was anything relevant there but it was all to do with using Wishlist, which I’ve stopped using. I’m now using S2Member.

Hi Miranda,
The code changes in the other thread that Dean and I suggested do not depend on Wishlist or S2Member. The block of code that deals with this checks to see if the user is logged in or not logged in. So the only requirement is if you have the Event Espresso WP user integration installed.

Josh, that wasn’t the problem (it seemed to be definitely from S2M side) but anyway, for some reason that I just do not understand – literally! …after spending the whole day trying to make it work, I’d given up for today …and then it worked. Really odd, but I’m very happy!
Thank you very much for your help 🙂

I must be driving all you gentlemen round the bend – or mad! – with my keep going round in circles, I really do apologise 🙁
I’m now using S2M pro membership plugin, which seems very good. There seems to be a problem though with s2m that it doesn’t play properly due to EE requiring visitors to be logged in before they can register for an event.
I think that is what you solved in my paid support ticket (unfortunately I can’t find the emails that you kindly sent me at the finish of that job)
…but anyway, focussing forward, how can I set EE to allow non-members to see everthing EE, even the registration form? I think s2m has it’s own way of hiding content and I’m really hoping that s2m will work well doing it that way.
Thank you so much for your continued help and patience

Event Espresso has two options that prevent non-members from viewing the event’s registration form. One of the options is in Event Espresso>Member settings, which sets the event registration to require being logged in for all events.
Then within the event editor you can set event to be member only or not.
If both of these are set to allow non-logged in users to register for events, then it’s possible that S2 is configured to not allow the event pages to be viewed without being logged in.
