⏳ Paid Memberships Pro Subscription Delays Addon (GPL)

The Paid Memberships Pro Subscription Delays Addon GPL allows you to set a custom delay period between a member’s signup payment and the start of their recurring subscription. Perfect for creating flexible trials, fixed start dates, or synchronized billing cycles for memberships and courses.

(This is a GPL-distributed version – 100% clean, secure, and legally redistributed. No official support included.)

⚙️ How It Works

When editing a Membership Level or Discount Code, you’ll see a new “Delay” field. This field lets you define when the subscription should officially start.

You can set the delay in three powerful ways:

• 📅 Integer (Days Delay)
  Example: 7 → Delay subscription by 7 days after signup (ideal for trial periods).

• 🗓 Specific Date (YYYY-MM-DD)
  Example: 2025-10-01 → All members’ subscriptions start on 1 October 2025 (great for scheduled course enrollments).

• 🔄 Dynamic Date (Year/Month/Day Placeholders)
  Example:

  • Y2-01-01 → Subscriptions start on January 1st of the next year.

  • Y1-M2-01 → Subscriptions start on the 1st of the following month.
