Hi,

I see some historical posts around this topic, but still trying to understand: my site has a paid membership group (i.e., pay with SCM, switch to a paid member group). My problem is that I don’t know how to time limit (or auto expire) members. Ideally, people buying today would expire in X months (6 or 12 months) as a default, to the default (unpaid) group.

Or, I’d be able to do some control panel membership management. I can’t seem to find a module around this, etc. Would appreciate any good ideas?

Thanks, David Harper

This is an oft-asked question, but unfortunately there is no real EE-based solution for this.  Some people have used aMember to handle this sort of thing successfully.

This will be one of the first things I tackle in EE 2.0 (assuming EL doesn’t add it in) but for now you’ll have to manually monitor the membership dates.  I have a site that has 1-year memberships, so I don’t need this feature for another year or so. EE 2.0 will be long out by then.  I’ve been playing around with CI a bit and I think it will be easier to implement with it.  Plus if there are any changes to the member module, I will want to take those into account as well…no point in creating something now and then redoing it in a few months (at least not for my needs).

Thank you VB. So, we don’t know whether EE 2.0 will have this sort of feature? David

Nope…gotta wait and see.  All the available information is here.
