Paid Memberships Pro – Set Expiration Dates Add On 0.6.1
Wordpress Plugins PaidMembershipPro 4.8 (3.8K reviews)
The Paid Memberships Pro – Set Expiration Dates Add On gives each membership level its own time limit. You can define durations in days, weeks, months, or years, and you can also pick a specific calendar date for access to end. The clock starts when a member purchases a subscription, signs up, or registers. This makes it easy to offer trial periods, tiered access, or content that is only available for a limited time. Each level can have a different expiration rule, so a monthly plan, an annual plan, and a free trial can all behave differently. There is no need to track expirations by hand or build custom code. You no longer need to keep spreadsheets or remember to revoke access manually. The expiration settings appear right where you already edit level pricing and content. The add-on extends the standard Paid Memberships Pro level settings with a clear expiration section, meaning you manage everything from the same WordPress dashboard you already use.
When a member's expiration date arrives, the add-on acts automatically. Members can be moved to a lower level, such as an expired or free tier, or have their access removed entirely, depending on your settings. An optional grace period after expiration gives members time to renew without losing their status. The admin dashboard lists expiration dates for every member and level, showing who is active, who is near expiry, and who has already lapsed. This all runs on a schedule, so nothing needs to be triggered by hand. Expired members also lose access to cached content, not just live pages. Renewal reminder emails are not part of this add-on, but they work through Paid Memberships Pro's built-in notification system or compatible email add-ons, so you can alert members before access ends. When someone upgrades or changes levels before expiring, the expiration date is recalculated based on that change. This applies to duration-based and fixed-date expirations alike.
The add-on suits any membership site that relies on time-bound access. Course creators can limit students to a semester or a number of weeks. Sites offering free or discounted trials can set a clear trial period and let the system enforce the cutoff. Seasonal or event-based memberships can be tied to a specific end date, which works well for holiday promotions, conference access, or alumni resources. Community forums, private groups, and subscription box services also benefit from automatic expiration because there is no manual removal step. You can mix duration-based and fixed-date levels on the same site without any conflict. It handles both types with equal reliability. The add-on requires the core Paid Memberships Pro plugin, version 2.0.0 or later, along with WordPress 5.6 or newer. A recommended PHP version of 7.4 or higher keeps things running smoothly. It is built specifically for Paid Memberships Pro, so it does not work as a standalone membership solution.

For administrators, the add-on keeps everything in one familiar place. The settings and member overview are fully responsive, so you can check expiration information from a phone or tablet. Developers get clean, documented code with hooks and filters for customizing expiration logic, and the database queries are tuned to stay quick even on sites with many members. Past work on the add-on has improved date formatting across time zones, fixed compatibility with other PMPro add-ons, and refined how expiration dates are stored and calculated. All of those fixes are present in the current version, so you get a stable add-on that continues to receive attention. The end result is that you no longer have to maintain manual lists, chase down expired accounts, or worry about former members slipping back into restricted areas. Expiration management becomes a background process that just works. It does not require constant babysitting, and the automation reduces the chance of human error.
