Content dripping not working because ">" is not working

by Jeremy Lacer

Hello everyone.

I'm currently making a membership site with S2member, and I'm planning to drip the content. The code that S2Member gives =

<?php if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS >= 2){ ?>
drip drip drip
<?php } ?>

This means that people who are registered 2 or more days get to see the content. The problem is, when I publish, I see this:

= 2){

The problem is the Greater-Than sign, because when I use this:

<?php if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS = 2){ ?>
drip drip drip
<?php } ?>

Then it's working fine.

How come Wordpress can't handle the ">" sign?

Thanks.

    you do understand this is PHP code right?

    Entering this in a wordpress content box is not going to do a lot (unless you have some execute php plugin installed with exactly those tags to activate, which as far as I know doesn't exists I do know one with though)

    The code you show is 'source code' and is meant to be put in source code files (.php files).

    Hope that helps a bit.

      Yes I understand it. I installed a plugin for it.
      The problem is the ">" sign. If I only use the "=" sign it's working great.

      What could be the problem?

      Thanks

    I would assume this is a problem with the plugin assuming that > is the end of the <?php tag. Post the problem to the plugin's support.

      That might be it.. The forum of S2Member is paid so I can't ask it there since I'm not a paid member :rolleyes:.

    The problem is with the plugin that allows you to enter PHP code into the content area - is that also made by S2Member?

    So does this work:

    <?php if(2 > 1) { echo 'greater than sign works'; } ?>

    If its not a problem with the > being interpreted as ending the <?PHP tag you will not see the text:

    greater than sign works

    Again, only this shows:

    1) { echo ‘greater than sign works’; } ?>

    So the > sends the PHP indeed. Really strange...

    So what PHP plugin are you using for wordpress? Start looking into that to get the solution.

    I've no idea what your plugin is doing, but the following could provide you a quick fix:

    switch(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAY S)
    {

    case 0:

    break;

    case 1:

    break;

    default:
    // drip drip drip


    }

    What's it doing?
    Nothing on zero or day 1 as case is matched and the code is stopped.

    There is no case for any other day so it uses the default case.

      Maybe I am missing something, but shouldn't the "S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS" be a variable.

      Try "if($S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_D AYS >= 2)"

      The S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS is also likely stored as a string not a number so try putting the 2 in quotes.

      if($S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS >= '2')
