It enables precise control over when member access terminates regardless of when they joined.

What Is PMPro – Set Expiration Date .4.3?
PMPro – Set Expiration Date .4.3 is developed by Paid Memberships Pro and is a membership plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for community building and content protection. The plugin allows administrators to move away from rolling subscriptions toward fixed-term models.
This add-on solves the problem of synchronizing a member base to a specific cohort end date or calendar year. It is designed for seasonal businesses, educational courses with fixed semesters, and organizations with annual renewals on a set date.
PMPro – Set Expiration Date .4.3 Features
The feature set is built around providing granular control over the expiration field within the standard membership level and discount code edit screens.
Fixed Calendar Expirations
The plugin introduces the ability to enter a specific date in the YYYY-MM-DD format. This is highly effective for membership sites that run classes or programs with a hard stop date, such as a school year or a specific event date. When a member checkouts, their account is automatically scheduled to expire on that exact day.
Variable Date Placeholders
Users can use dynamic symbols to represent current and future timeframes without manually updating settings every year. By using symbols like Y2, M2, or Y for years and months, admins can configure memberships to expire on the first day of the following year (Y2-01-01) or the first day of the next month (Y-M2-01). This automates the management of recurring fixed cycles.
Discount Code Overrides
The functionality extends beyond membership levels to individual discount codes. This allows a site owner to offer a “Trial until the end of the month” by applying a specific expiration date to a coupon code. Even if the base level is set to a 1-year duration, the coupon will enforce the shorter, set date for anyone who uses it during registration.
Pricing
Check current pricing on the Set Expiration Date sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan. The plugin is typically bundled as part of a premium suite.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Premium | Check Sales Page | 1-5 Sites | Add-on Access |
| WPExclusive Membership | From $9.99/month | Unlimited | Set Expiration Date + full library |
For developers managing multiple sites, a WPExclusive membership covers Set Expiration Date plus hundreds of other plugins and themes, which is usually less than the price of a single premium license.
Latest Version
The current version is .4.3. WPExclusive updates plugin files promptly after each release to ensure compatibility with the core Paid Memberships Pro framework.

Use Cases
Calendar Year Membership Reductions
Standard for professional associations where all memberships end on December 31st regardless of whether a member joins in January or June. Link this with other membership extensions to handle renewals for the next year.
Seasonal Sports and Activity Cohorts
Ideal for sports leagues where access to the member portal (and insurance coverage) must expire exactly on the day the season ends. This prevents users from retaining access into the off-season without a new registration.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Agencies can deploy this add-on across various client niches like online schools or gyms without purchasing separate advanced licenses for every client site through WPExclusive.
