**Paid Memberships Pro – Subscription Delays Add On .5.4**

The Paid Memberships Pro – Subscription Delays Add On is a free plugin that allows you to set a variable-length delay between the initial payment and recurring subscription payments for membership levels and discount codes.

With this add-on, you can easily add a delay field when editing a Membership Level or Discount Code. This gives you the flexibility to implement various scenarios, such as delaying the recurring payments for a specific period of time.

However, it’s important to note that large membership sites with thousands of members may encounter issues when using this add-on for fixed date renewals. In such cases, it is recommended to check with your hosting provider to ensure proper CPU usage on the renewal date, as each individual member with a recurring payment will generate data transmission.

Paid Memberships Pro is the fastest way to monetize access to your WordPress site. The core plugin is free and offers more features than other membership plugins. Furthermore, the code of our plugins is not obfuscated, allowing them to run on as many sites as you want and be customized to fit your specific project requirements.

We kindly ask you to follow the GPLv2 guidelines by applying the GPLv2 license to any altered or unaltered version of Paid Memberships Pro that you distribute. The license details can be found on our website.

In addition, as an alternative, cost-saving update channel for plugins, we recommend using the EffectIO Dashboard, which allows you to update items and comes pre-activated. By choosing EffectIO, you can benefit from premium support and take advantage of our super deals with discounts ranging from 30% to 90%.

0.5.5 — 2022-03-18
  • ENHANCEMENT: Added Italian language files. (@mircobabini)
  • BUG FIX/ENHANCEMENT: Improved localization and added missing strings to translation. (@femiyb)
  • BUG FIX: Fixed issue where level price was not generated correctly for daily subscriptions using a subscription delay. (@mircobabini)
5.4 — 2020-01-19
  • ENHANCEMENT: Prepared for localization.
  • ENHANCEMENT: Added a pmprosd_current_date filter you can use in rare cases you want to apply subscription delays based on a day in the past.
5.3
  • BUG FIX: Fixed issue where specific dates like 2019-07-29 would be converted to 2019-07-31 when used.
  • BUG FIX/ENHANCEMENT: If the profile start date is in the past, we reset it to the current date to avoid issues with the gateways. In general, make sure you don't set your subscription delays to dates in the past.
  • ENHANCEMENT: You can now use year and placeholder values > 9. So Y1-M18-01 will set the date on the first of the month, 18 months in the future. Be careful since some gateways, like PayPal don't allow you to setup subscriptions to start more than one year out.
5.2
  • BUG FIX: Even better handling of Y1/etc!
5.1
  • BUG FIX: Better handling of Y1/etc. Tries to not allow the subscription delay to be in the past. For example when using a date like Y1-12-01 on 2018-12-14, you should get a delay until 2019-12-01.
4.6
  • BUG: Didn't return a valid startdate from pmpro_profile_start_date filter handler which resulted in double payments at checkout for levels that had no subscription delay set.
4.5
  • BUG: Didn't handle the documented M/Y variables (M1 & Y1)
4.4
  • BUG: The 1 period free trial bug was still happening in some cases with discount codes with delays set on them.
4.3
  • BUG: Fixed issue with Authorize.net where the user would get an additional 1 period trial after the subscription delay. (Thanks, mobilizedcloud)
  • ENHANCEMENT: Added pmprosd_getDelay($level_id, $code_id) helper function.
4.2
  • BUG: Fixed incorrect level cost text
4.1
  • Fixed level cost text when specified dates are used. (Thanks, russell77)
  • BUG: Now correctly checking for and replacing "M", "Y", etc. in subscription delays.
3.3
  • Added pmprosd_modify_start_date filter to change the start_date generated by the plugin. Passes $start_date, $order, $subscription_delay. (Thanks, Thomas Sjolshagen)
  • Using esc_sql function.
  • Removed the code that would set TrialBillingCycles to 0 if a subscription delay was set. Be sure to update your level settings and delays to account for this.
3.2.2
  • Fixed grammar when costs are wrapped in tags. So "The price for membership is $2.00 per Month. after your 14 day trial." is now "The price for membership is $2.00 per Month after your 14 day trial.".
3.2.1
  • Fixed a warning.
3.2
  • Just removed the "edited" from the name.
3.1
  • Fixed bug where specific date delays were showing up as integers (e.g. 2015-01-01 would become just 2015) on the edit levels page.
