Description
The Hard-set Expiration Dates addon sets absolute expiration dates on subscriptions of Restrict Content Pro, replacing the default calculation based on the subscription start with an identical expiration for all members of a given level. Designed for those who operate courses with closed classes, seasonal content, or exclusive areas with scheduled closure, it aligns access termination to a fixed calendar date, regardless of when each user registered.

Who is Hard-set Expiration Dates For?
- Those who sell online courses in closed groups and need to close access for everyone on the same date.

How to Download Hard-set Expiration Dates
Hard-set Expiration Dates is available for download here on Ultrapack. After obtaining the .zip file, install it at Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the package and activate. With Restrict Content Pro already running, the fixed date field appears on the editing of each subscription level.
Recommended for membership operations where expiration needs to follow a common calendar, Hard-set Expiration Dates solves a specific point of Restrict Content Pro: the lack of a shared expiration among all subscribers of the same level. It is useful in models of classes, seasons, and scheduled content windows where registration date should not affect access end.
