Hi, all my membership types are set to be fixed (calendar years). However, they've all started rolling (so if you renew now, you get a 12 month period from today).

I went to check the rollover date and fixed start date were correct but I can't find them - I must have gone blind as I used to know how to do this.

1. What is the link for setting this; and
2. Why would a membership type roll at all (whatever the rollover date is set as) if it is listed as fixed?

Thanks.

Thanks. Found my problem. We've had a one-off short membership period of January-September while we move our membership year from calendar years to October - September. Although I left the memberships as "fixed", when I shortened them to 9 months, all the options for fixed start dates vanished so they can only be rolling. Confusingly, I was offered the choice of listing them as "fixed" or "rolling" although it appears that they will roll whatever I choose.

I'd suggest that this amounts to a bug - EITHER

1. I shouldn't be offered the opportunity to specify a membership under 12 months as "fixed" because even if I do it will roll;

OR

2. I should be able to specify a sub-12 month membership as fixed and pick a date for it to be fixed from (and if that makes renewal a mess, that's my problem).
