OK below is the log.

The problem was that the original ‘free’ level button (for students) was actually just a link to Register.
So when I used the same button on the Membership Renewal page, it was going to Register instead of through Paypal.

I’ve hacked this by making the ‘free’ level actually cost $0.01, which forces it to go through Paypal, and apply the payment to the account, which renews for another year fine.

This is very crude though and technically affiliated students shouldn’t pay anything.
How would you renew Free memberships beyond a year without going through Paypal?

Unfortunately this isn’t what happens.

The site administrator has tested this with an account and the user gets access to the renewal page, clicks Renew and is then prompted to register from scratch again. To make matters worse, they can’t reuse the same username or email address.

(see screenshot)

Yes, as per instructions.

The ideal process for renewal is that the user logs in, visits the renewal page, pays for another year and that user’s membership gets renewed.

Is this what happens with Simple Membership?
