Problems with Plan Display for registered members

A child plan won't be visible/active if its parent is expired. You also can't renew multiple plans at once so if the parent expires it must be renewed first then the child can be renewed. All the user needs to do is renew the parent plan and the child plans will be available again.

Sorry, I had to move on with this issue as it was going nowhere. It is impossible for a member or user to just join a Free Parent Plan when it is dependent on membership of a child Plan, as the Plan will never be visible for them if they are "still" members of the Child Plan, where the Parent Plan expired.

In the end I did an SQL update on the table to set the expiry of all Parent Plans to NULL, where they were currently set to Expire, and as far as I can tell this has resolve the issue. Cheers, D

You can use lifetime duration parent plans if you're just using them as categories or containers. This will prevent the parent from expiring and always exposing the child plans. If a parent plan expires then the child plans will not be visible until the parent is renewed as currently you can not renew multiple plans at once (this is planned for a future release).
