Restrict Content Pro - Hard-set Expiration Dates

What’s new in Restrict Content Pro - Hard-set Expiration Dates 1.1.4

What it does
Standard membership plans usually run for a relative period, such as 30 days or one year from signup. That works for rolling subscriptions, but it gets awkward when your content has a real end date, like a school term, a seasonal program or a campaign. Members who join at different times would otherwise expire at different times, and you would have to adjust access by hand to line everything up.
The add-on works alongside the core Restrict Content Pro plugin and adds an absolute expiration date to your membership levels. You pick the exact day for each level in its settings, and memberships on that level expire automatically when the date arrives. Different levels can have different dates, so you can run several tiers or programs side by side, each closing on its own schedule while your protected content stays limited to the timeframe you set.
Best for
- Restrict Content Pro sites running term-based courses or programs
- Membership sites selling seasonal or event-based access
- Site owners aligning member access with campaigns or launches
Features
Exact calendar expiration dates
Define a specific calendar date when a membership ends, so access stops on a predictable day instead of a set number of days after signup.
Dates per membership level
Give each membership level its own expiration date, which lets different tiers or programs close on different schedules.
Automatic access removal
Memberships expire on their own once the preset date is reached, so you do not need to revoke access manually for each member.
Works with Restrict Content Pro
Built as an add-on for the core Restrict Content Pro plugin, extending its membership levels with fixed end dates.
Simple settings panel
Expiration dates are configured through a straightforward settings panel, so site admins can set them up without technical knowledge.
Clear access periods for members
Members can see a clear end date for their access, which reduces confusion about how long their membership lasts.
Time-limited content protection
Protected content stays available only within the timeframe you define, keeping it closed to members after their level expires.
