    Hi, again I ask for help, because I have gone through the WPLMS options, but I can't get what I want to do.

    I have a course platform, obviously created with WPLMS, but I need to create membership plans. What I need is the following:

    1. The user subscribes to a membership for say $17/month or $217/year. These amounts are automatically charged on a monthly ($17/month) or yearly ($217/year) basis until the user decides to cancel the subscription.

    2. With that membership the user has access to a selection of courses currently on the site, but in addition can access new courses that will be published each month as long as the subscription is active.

    3. When the user cancels the subscription, he loses access to the courses.

    I need to know how I can do this. I could see that using Woocommerce Subscriptions and woo wplms, you can create subscriptions to several courses, if you connect them to the subscription product, but I do not know if you can then add more content, ie publish more courses to those subscriptions. I need to publish more content for that subscription on a monthly basis.

    I need to publish
    - Live classes (1 each month) 
    - Access to the recording of live classes 
    - Access to courses already available
    - Exclusive content 
    - Exclusive podcasts 
    - Discount on specialized courses

    Would this be possible with another membership plugin? what do you recommend? do I need a custom development?

    These would be the requirements:
    A) recurring payment at chosen intervals.
    B) automatic access to new content within the active subscription.
    C) revoke access once the subscription expires.


    PD: In case you can only use subscription with wplms woocommerce plugin and woocommerce subscription, and I need to add new courses. I can do the following:

    1. if i create a product relating several courses, and after a while, i edit that product to add another course, should i manually add students to this new courses that i integrate to the subscription product?

    2. Is this the correct way to add another course? editing the subscription product and adding other courses? If I edit the product to add another course, this does not affect or alter the elapsed time of the student who purchased the subscription?
     
    In the event that I manually add users to the new course integrated into the subscription, will they inherit the expiration date of their respective subscriptions? In other words, if their original subscription expires and is not renewed, does WPLMS automatically cut off their access to these courses?

    This is standard case for using Pmpro memberships plugin. Everything you described is how it works.

    Please contact PMPro for Recurring payments. WPLMS only focussed on LMS part.

    Optionally use Woo memberships + Woo Subscriptions + wplms woo memberships or Pmpro + Woo Subscriptions for automatic renewal. 


    - Live class each month can be done via Sectional Drip feed, the last section of the course can be a live Zoom class or Appointment unit where studenthas to select a slot from instructor to book her to mark the lesson complete.

    - Yes, recordings is available in BBB and Zoom internally supports it.

    - Access to course :Yes

    - Exclusive content :yes, only course mebers can see the content

    - yes is possible via woocommerce or pmpro 



    Yes, you can only use Woo Subscriptions but when you create a new course and add it to the product it will not give existing product purchasers access to that course.

    No, manually adding students will not automatically inherit subscription period but the default course subscription period. A good idea in this scenario would be to create a fake order by student's name and approve it as a subscription in WooCommerce.
