Paid Memberships Pro – Auto-Renewal Checkbox changelog

2026 3 versions

0.4.4 Latest 16 Oct 2026 5 fixed

Fixed

• Auto-renewing checkouts now also skip set expiration dates applied by PMPro core, which includes the Set Expiration Dates functionality as of PMPro v3.9. This keeps recurring members from expiring on a fixed date. #49 (@dparker1005)
• Fixed an issue where renewing a recurring level after the current membership's end date had passed could add an incorrect trial period before the first recurring payment. #45 (@dparker1005)
• The auto-renewal checkbox is now hidden after a valid discount code is applied at checkout. #47 (@dparker1005)
• The auto-renewal checkbox label now reads "Yes, renew automatically" when the level cost text is empty, such as for Variable Pricing levels. #46 (@dparker1005)
• Fixed an issue on PMPro versions before 3.0 where cancellations on any page could be delayed until the next payment date if no Cancel page was set. #48 (@dparker1005)

2021 1 version

0.3.0 8 Sep 2021 3 fixed

Fixed

• BUG FIX/ENHANCEMENT: Updated the "cancel on next payment date" logic to work how the latest version of the CONPD plugin works. Will also use the CONPD plugin instead of the included code, if the CONPD add on is active. The CONPD add on will be merged into PMPro core sometime in the future.
• Fixed some localization issues.
• When a discount code is used, this plugin will NOT try to adjust the level at checkout to be recurring or not. Instead, it uses the settings from the discount code. We fixed an issue where the plugin sometimes DID try to adjust the level in these cases.
