MemberHI, I’ve been digging around in the forums and can’t find an answer, but sorry if I missed it.
I want to be able to manually change the expiry dates on members – how do I do this?
I have eMember setup (with eStore for the subscription/buy now buttons etc) with 3 paid membership levels (with varying lengths of membership). I need to be able to change the expiry on some – for example I have some long term clients that I want to offer lifetime membership to – they get all the exact same access as everyone else on that level, just that their membership never expires.
Thank you for your help!

MemberSeems to me that the cleanest way would be to add a Lifetime Membership level (no expiry date) and upgrade the relevant members to that new Membership Level.

MemberJohn, thanks for your reply! But won’t that mean that I have to go through every page or post and then add that new level to the content security? I was hoping to avoid that!!
The lifetime membership is exactly the same and gets all the same access as the time-limited membership level. The only difference is the expiry date.
Thanks!

MemberYou don’t have to open each individual page and post to assign access privileges to the new level.
You can go to Membership Level > Manage Content Protection and apply the new Membership Level to Post/Pages/Categories in three quick steps.
Then for each new Page and Post you can assign content protection on a per page/post basis. Or enable Sitewide protection for specific pages.
That’s unless Admin can offer you a better solution.
