Change membership expiration rules

Question

We want membership signups or renewals to expire at the end of the following year if made after July 1. So for example you sign up today (Sept 2018), then your membership is good through Dec 31, 2019. Is there any way to do that?

Answer 1

You can do this by:

• Going to Administer menu >> CiviMember >> Membership Types.
• Next to each membership type you'd like this to apply to, click the "Edit" link (see screenshot 1 below).
• On the Membership Type screen, set Membership Type Plan to "Fixed", set Fixed Period Start Day to "January 1st", and Fixed Period Rollover Day to "July 1st" (see screenshot 2 below).
• Press Save.
