Set time limit for membership

    Hello there,

    I just found this plugin and have a question about it.

    I’m building a membership e-learning website for a client.

    His company works a lot with school doing live events but, due to the virus situation, he wants to move everything online.

    His goal is to put all the videos on a members-only area where students can create their yearly membership through a voucher code and watch the videos for one year. So you can’t create an account or access the course unless you have the code.

    I saw that you can get the coupon feature as a premium one and that’s fine. My question is if I can limit the membership/registration to one year or if a user will have access to everything for life after the registration?

    Thanks a lot,

    Daniele

    You can define memberships that have expiration time periods:

    Hello @cbutlerjr

    Thanks for your reply!

    I’m trying to use your plugin. I installed it, created a membership on WooCommerce, set a post to be accessed only to members of that membership but when I go to it, it still allows anyone to register. Am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks a lot

    However, if it’s a page I get this

    Anyone can register because when a user is not logged in, then they are unknown – to the plugin, to WordPress, to anything else. Only when a user is logged in (and thus, previously registered) can we know if a user has access to a post/page etc.

    If a logged in user goes to a post/page that is restricted to a specific membership but the user does not have that membership, then they would get the message that you have in that last screenshot (indicating they do not have the required membership).

    As far as setting membership access for users, there are a number of ways you can do that. You can allow them to select at registration, you can set it manually, you can sell memberships through WooCommerce with the plugin’s WC extension, or you can set up any kind of custom process using the wpmem_set_user_product() function. That part is entirely up to how you build your site and integrate the plugin.

    Hi @cbutlerjr,

    Thanks a lot for your reply! I did manage to register and lock the content to a specific membership.

    When it comes to the membership side, I want only people who have a specific code to be able to access the membership and therefore the content under it.

    To do so, do I need your code add-on along with the woocomerce one? Or I won’t need the Woocomerce one considering that I’ll be selling the memberships offline (for now)

    Thanks a lot!
