Issue with expired plans not correctly changing user group membership (??)

4 years 1 month ago #316533 by mikerotec
Hmmm...

I have the plan's 'Grace period before real expiration:' set to 0

But I see that some users whose Paid subscription expired some time ago are still showing with the "Paid" usergroup.
They were supposed to devolve back to only 'registered' users, on subscription expiry.

A number of users Expired 02/01/2020 ( and earlier...)

are still showing group memberships 'Paid Subscribers' and "Registered". ( should now belong only to 'registered')...

All of the ones I have checked so far have not logged in since before their subscription expiry - does their group membership update on their next login??

PS: If this is a glitch, I'm not sure when this started happening... now running CB 2.4.3 on Joomla 3.9.15

Are you triggering expirations regularly? By default expiration is triggered by accessing CBSubs backend. Typically most reliable way to trigger expirations is to configure a CRON task to run the URL provided under "Automation settings" in CBSubs > Settings > Global.

Is their subscription showing as expired within CBSubs > Subscriptions? Are you adding the usergroup via the parameter under the Access tab or using CB Auto Actions?

We do not use auto-actions, usergroup is added under the Access tab.

Looking at one example user, they are showing Expired Paid subscription, but still belong to the Paid Users group. They are also members of the Free and registered groups, and show an Active Free subscription. It's a very old entry though, from almost a decade ago back when we had expiring Paid subscriptions revert to Free ones ( we no longer do that - preferring to have them stay in "registered" group until they either renew their paid subscription, or request a manual change to a free subscription).

I'm looking for a more recent example now...

hmmm, and what's a little odd is that I see a user whose paid account expired 3 days ago is now a member of "Free" user group.

But now I see what has happened there... the user was originally a "Free" lifetime user, and that account never expires. After their Paid account expired, it seems that one just took over again. Is there any way we can make All paid expirys revert just to "registered" group - even if they had previously upgraded from"Free lifetime"?

As far as I can recall, if a user signed up as Paid to begin with, their account user membership devolves to simply "registered" group, if the Paid subscription expires. The 'Paid User" subscription is our default subscription plan...
