Membership Types List

Overview

Going to Memberships > Membership Types shows a list of every membership type you’ve defined. This is your jumping-off point: click a type’s Title to edit it, or Add New to create one.

Reading the list

The list summarises each type at a glance:

  • Title — the type’s name. Click it to open the edit screen.
  • Fee — the registration fee, with the renewal fee shown in brackets after it where the two differ (e.g. $110.00 ($100.00) means $110 to register, $100 to renew). Types with no charge show Free.
  • Approval — how a submitted registration is handled: Auto (activates without an approval step) or Admin (held in Pending until an administrator approves). Admin-only types show Auto.
  • Renewable — checked if memberships of this type can be renewed; unchecked if not.
  • Renewal Mode — how expiry is calculated: Never Expires, or Fixed expiry with the date shown (e.g. Fixed expiry (1 July)).
  • Registration Form — depends on whether the type allows self-registration. For types that allow self-registration, this shows the registration shortcode for that specific type (e.g. [mime_registration type="guest"]). Click the shortcode to copy it, then paste it into the page where you want that type’s sign-up form to appear.

Row Actions

Hovering over a row reveals its actions:

  • Edit — opens the edit screen (the same as clicking the title).
  • Archive — retires the membership type. It’s no longer offered to new registrants, but existing members aren’t disrupted.

Archiving is the way to phase out a membership tier without affecting the people currently in it. If the type still has active members, Meta Membership shows a confirmation first, spelling out the impact — those members will:

  • remain active until they expire,
  • be unable to renew into this type, and
  • continue to receive notifications assigned to this type.

In other words, current members run out their term normally; the type simply stops being available going forward. Archiving a type that no active members hold is applied without this confirmation, as there’s nothing to affect.

Membership Types List - archive confirmation

👉 Archiving is one-directional — there’s no unarchive action, so treat it as retiring a type for good rather than a temporary toggle.

Creating and editing types

Click Add New at the top of the page to create a type, or a type’s Title (or Edit) to change an existing one. Either route opens the edit screen, which has two tabs:

  • [General] — name, fees, renewal rules, registration and payment options.
  • [Meta Fields] — the fields shown on this type’s profile and registration forms.
