How to Lock a Member
- It allows you to lock a specific user from making changes to their membership level (including selecting a new level if they currently do not have a level). This may be useful for problem members that repeatedly purchase and cancel membership.
- Additionally, you can use this add on to lock a membership level for a specific term. This is useful if you want to restrict members from canceling membership until a required number of installment payments are made.
Installation
- Upload the ‘pmpro-lock-membership-level’ directory to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory of your site.
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
- Add a new page for the “Membership Locked” message and assign it under Memberships > Page settings. This is the page that members will be redirected to when attempting to cancel or change membership.
- Add the shortcode [pmpro_membership_locked] to the new page. The shortcode’s only attribute (message) can be used to customize the default message shown.
Code:
[pmpro_membership_locked message="An administrator has locked changes to your membership account."]How to Lock a Member
