Set Expiration Date Add-on Not Working

    10 years, 5 months ago

    I’ve recently set up a monthly ezine site using WordPress and the Paid Memberships Pro plug-in. It’s working great so far, but I cannot get the Set Expiration Date add-on to work.

    We sell several levels of subscriptions to our monthly ezine issues… current issue valid for 1 month, 6 months, 12 months and 2 years.

    Our first issue will come out on November 15th, and on the 1st of each month thereafter starting with the Dec 2014 issue. So for instance if a subscriber purchases a one year subscription today, we want their expiration date to be 10/31/2015 giving them access to 12 issues from Nov 2014-Oct 2015. Right now the expiration dates will set at 10/16/2015 if I use 1 year or 365 days in the “Expires In”. So I’m forced to set it to 380 days and manually adjust this down by one day each morning.

    I installed the Set Expiration Date add on, but I haven’t been able to configure it to have any effect on expiration date. For example, I would make Expires in 1 Year, then in the Set Expiration Date field I’ve tried 2015-10-31, Y21031, Y2M31, and any other variation I could think of but the expiration date keeps coming back as 10/16/2015. I also tried by changing the Expires In to a various number of days such as 380, etc. and still no effect from the Set Expiration Date field.

    I’m probably making a simple error, but I just can’t figure out what it is.

    Can anyone point out what I’m doing wrong?

    actually the other formats I’ve used for the Set Expiration Date were Y2-10-31, Y2-M-31… I left the dashes out in my first message.

    Make sure your levels also have a 1 year expiration date before the “set expiration date”. Otherwise, maybe some other gists or plugins are interfering with the expiration date there.

    Are your members checking out with PMPro WooCommerce? I’ve made some updates to that plugin to get it working with set expiration dates (use latest versions of all plugins and this gist: https://gist.github.com/strangerstudios/9e2de522c79c9e401e1c).

    Are you using discount codes? Make sure the discount codes have the set expiration date as well.

    Similar tweaks may be needed to get set expiration dates working with other plugins/etc.

    Also, note if you have levels with recurring billing they shouldn’t typically also have expiration dates. You’ll need to modify the “profile start date” via filter to get the levels to renew on a certain date.

    Hope this helps. If not, we can look into this further in our member forums.

    Not many plugins added… MailChimp, TML. Easy Digital Downloads, Share Buttons by AddToany

    I’m using Paypal Standard for checkout.

    Do have a discount code for a one year subscription, have them set at Y2-10-31 also, but regardless of whether someone uses it or not, the expiration date isn’t setting correctly.

    For a 1 year subscription it is setting the date at exactly one year from the date the subscription is paid for even though I have the Set Expiration Date filled in with Y2-10-31. So the ones that have paid today come back as 10/21/2015.

    No recurring subscriptions set up, although I’d like to.

    An update – since we passed November 1, the set expiration date appears to be working correctly. I guess you can’t set an expiration date that is beyond the 1 year term of a membership…
