Renew membership workflow

[jomo5280]

I have e-Member & e-Store working nicely with a 3 month “FREE” membership, whereas to gain access our prospective members take a quiz which shows them the sign up form on completion. Is there a way, after their membership expires, (using allow user sign-in with expired accounts) that i could redirect them to yet another one of our quizzes and they could hit a button (or something) that would re-activate (auto-renew) their account? (shortcode or php)

thanks!

I guess i am just looking for the existing code that “if they make a paypal payment it renews their membership” so i can re-use to make it a user initiated button on a hidden page?

Again, thank you for your support and assistance. Both e-Store and e-Member are working awesome for us so far!

You can create a payment button and hook it to any membership level like you did for your other payment buttons. Then place this button on a page “Renew Membership” or something like that and use the URL of that page in the “Membership renewal Page” field in eMember settings.

Now your expired members will get a message that tells them to renew their membership and clicking on that message will bring them to this renew membership page where they can make a payment to reactivate their account.

Thanks Key Master

The member won’t make an actual payment to renew – rather just complete a quiz we have made and then “allow” access to Renew. So I was just seeing if I could us the same functionally of making a payment to renew (but really not making a payment) and tricking system to think so to renew membership. I realize we would prob need to do it via php.

Thanks again.

I added the following shortcode:

[wp_eMember_renew_membership_for_free]

This shortcode displays a “Renew” button that lets the logged in user to renew his/her membership account for free. Can be helpful when you want to offer some of your special members to be able to renew without actually paying for the membership.

Get a new build from here to use this shortcode:

cool. looks like i have an older build – v6.7.1 – which is considerably different than the files you updated.

will it work if i add:

add_shortcode(‘wp_eMember_renew_membership_for_free’, ‘wp_eMember_renew_membership_for_free_handler’);

and the function:

function wp_eMember_renew_membership_for_free_handler($atts){

(and the rest of the function code)

am i missing anything?

again thanks for your help!
