Excellent

M’a permis de créer des abonnements sur-mesure avec renouvellement automatique mais également en le combinant avec un autre plugin, d’insérer massivement des utilisateurs via une feuille excel et de leur attribuer une date d’expiration de manière dynamique.

Super plugin, beaucoup de personnalisation, je recommande à 100%

This plugin is dead now

by cercoedo·7 years ago

Version: 1.0.3
tested on WordPress 4.9 and 5.0.
Plugin doesn’t work any more. Users expire as you create them. Also if you check that a user never expire it does, its role change to plugin settings default and you can’t manage to rollback changes until disable plugin. Also, and if you check to send an email alert when a user expire it send an alert daily to every users.
DANGER!!! You need to disable the plugin to let users (also administrators!!!) log into your site again!
Hope it will soon be update…
Thank’s
