I checked these steps now and was able to replicate the issue . I was not clicking on start course button .Was just checking the button label .Apologies for that and thanks for reporting that issue . but the issue originally arise due to " pmpro_after_change_membership_level " is not working properly . We will check this issue and try to fix this in the next update . Here i am sharing a quick fix for this : https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/change-membership-does-not-removing-course-fix/

[chinolz]

This code screwed me over badly, I'm running woocommerce + pmpro setup so when user membership expiried he is set to Free user, However there are members who have Free User membership but purchased the access to course separately via Woo Commerce. The quickfix you provided Removes access to courses with user membership level_id = 1 (even though they bought access to course via woocommere)

Apologies i made a mistake in that fix but I have updated the code two more times to fix that . Please check the tip again : https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/change-membership-does-not-removing-course-fix/

[chinolz]

your code does not work, customers after purchasing courses and removed access and after manually adding them again they are removed again. Please do not share fixes without fully testing them first, you are making our business suffer since customers are pissed off and want a refund

I removed the code from your site as ot was not working in many use cases. I missed the part when instrcutor assign the course to student manually in the code and there are still one or two conditions that was not handled by that code . I tested the code this time .Now the course access is removed when the membership is changed or cancelled but in case of expiration it follows that duration that is set for the user in course . Can you now please check the access of the course first ?

[chinolz]

is this issue resolved? because expired users still have access to courses which makes the pmpro integration useless https://github.com/strangerstudios/paid-memberships-pro/issues/381

Well we tried to resolve this and also made some pull requests to the paid membership membership plugin also as the issue originally relies in pmpro plugin  .They added that fix which resolved this issue but then again in next update they removed that fix that we suggested to them .

[chinolz]

can you talk to them and ask why they removed it and find a fix ? basically your pmpro integration is useless without this being resolved

[Anshuman Sahu]

We already asked them but they stop responding . We know about this .this is why we have plan to integrate wplms with other memberhsip plugins and also recently completed development with woocommerce memberships plugin .

[chinolz]

i also wrote the integration to woocommerce memberships plugin. However about 20 sites+ are currently using pmpro and i need a solution to migrate existing users/recurrent payments. Will there be an easy way to migrate all existing users from pmpro?

[chinolz]

i wrote a message to Jason Coleman maybe he will reply to me since i helped him patch some security bug for pmpro.

[Anshuman Sahu]

Okay can you please ask them why they reverted this pull request in their update : https://github.com/strangerstudios/paid-memberships-pro/pull/380

[chinolz]

Thats his reply, will keep you guys updated Jason Coleman 6:23 PM (10 minutes ago) to me Thanks for the heads up. Moving fast. I don't remember why that was reverted. I'll look at it again.
