Hi, Mbrsolution,

I decided I needed to change my level from fixed date expiry to yearly renewal.

After that, by using your suggestion, I am now able to “manually renew” a membership by simply changing the “Access Starts” date.

If the account has already expired, I also have to change the member back to “active” status in addition to updating the date.

So, I am able to handle yearly renewals without using the payment functionality in Simple Membership.

Ya Hoo!

Thanks for not giving up on trying to find a solution for me!

Happy New Year!

I’m sorry – I have to be missing something – getting frustrating!

“you can edit the members profile page by changing the membership date.”

I’d really be happy too but there is not a membership date in the member’s profile – where should I be changing it?

I understand the Notify User if I could figure out how to update the membership expiry date.

Only dates I see in the profile are “Access Starts” and “Member Since”?

Hi,

Membership Level IS expiring on 12/31/17 (Fixed Date Expiry).

Would I be better off using a yearly expiry – setting start date of new members to 12/31 of previous year?

I do have the Enable Expired Account Login option enabled (advanced settings). However, the renewal page does not use the payment functionality in Simple Membership. So, I need some manual way to tell Simple Membership that the user has renewed.

How and where do I “update the members detail stating that they have renewed the membership for x amount of time?”

Sorry if I’m not being clear – I’m going to learn a lot more about how expiration works when 12/31 rolls around in a few days.

Hi,

I have not enabled Free Membership in the General Settings (so I was surprised at the registration form error).

To clarify – I’m not using the Join Us/Payment functionality of the plugin.

So the first Simple Membership interaction with the member is an email inviting them to register for members only content via a link to registration form. (I’m beginning to conclude I need a separate registration form for each membership level.)

Process that I anticipate is as follows:

1. Member is sent an email inviting them to register for members only content. Email contains link to registration form.

2. Member fills out and submits registration form and is sent an email indicating his/her registration is under review. Plugins creates a member in pending status.

3. Admin reviews registration – if OK, he activates member, causing email to be sent indicating account is activated – also includes link to login form.

4. Member logs in to access user content.

Unfortunately, the plugin only generates a short code for one level.

So, my question remains – do I have to make a page for each paying level or is there a short-code that will allow me to specify multiple levels for a registration – some kind of notation after the level: short-code parameter.

If I have to make a page for each level, I can do it but just wanted to be sure there wasn’t another solution available.

Works wonderfully!!

Never thought to look there because the plugin description says “The Custom Messages addon allows you to customize the content protection message that gets output from the membership plugin.”

So, since the registration submitted message has nothing to do with content protection, I am surprised it was there!

Thanks for redirecting me to the proper spot!

Happy Holidays!
