Hi, any chance you can point me in the right direction on how to set a certain time for expiry? So no matter when the subscription is purchased, it will expire on 30 May 2021.
Thank you

You can only set the subscription expiry in number of day, weeks or months.

Hi Mark & Safwana,
Do you happen to know a way to set a fixed expiry date, ie. 30/6/2020, rather than a number of months / days from the subscription start?

Hi,
Please try editing the subscription order manually and change the subscription end date.

Hi Safwana,
This is exactly what I’m looking for! Thanks.
However, adding the code doesn’t seem to work in case. I’ve added the following code to the functions.php file, but I can’t see 36 months as an option:
function wt_add_length( $subscription_ranges, $subscription_period ) {
$subscription_ranges[‘month’][36] = __(’36 months’, ‘xa-woocommerce-subscriptions’);
return $subscription_ranges;
}
add_filter( ‘hf_subscription_lengths’, ‘wt_add_length’, 10, 2 );
Do you know if I perhaps have to change anything in the code?
Many thanks!
Niels
