Upgrading or Downgrading job package subscriptions

Hi there! Please use this form to get support for our paid add-ons:

We are not allowed to support premium plugins in these forums.

Thanks!

@aaronos – I have the same issue and I’m awaiting a response. Did you manage to find a solution?

nothing that seems to work well at this stage, just some ugly work-arounds that don’t seem to be consistent in their application. basically you need to group the subscriptions together – you can only upgrade/downgrade between groups subscriptions but it still seems quite buggy

@aaronos – Do you have anything you can share to help? I’m in the same boat and am pretty surprised this isn’t a core feature – I mean, most subscriptions feature this functionality?!

@rwolfenden – WC Subscriptions does have this functionality – it’s a specific integration with WC Paid Listings that’s needed to allow up/downgrading between listing package subscriptions.

You’d be better contacting the team at WP Job Manager as they don’t provide support on this forum. A fix may already be in progress…

Hey @mrsminkie (nice name! ?? ).

Yeah, I think I’ve figured it out (the workaround I mean). I’ve got the full bundle from WP Job Manager (including the WC Paid Listings plugin).

Looking forward to a fix, but in the meantime this may work out well for me ??

Hi Rob

Do you fancy sharing?? ??

Of course! ??

Bear in mind, I’m testing this as I actually type! So it may not be 100% yet..but it’s looking very promising…

So, these are the steps I tried.

1) Create a new Product and choose “Product Data” as a “Grouped Product”
2) Call this “Listings Subscriptions” or whatever you feel is most appropriate for the Group of your subscriptions.
3) Save

For each of your Subscriptions:
1) My “Product Data” is set as “Job Package Subscriptions” for each one
2) Under “Linked Products” and “Grouping” select your newly created “Listings Subscriptions” Product type
3) Update each Subscription Product.

In WooCommerce > Settings > Subscriptions Tab
1) Go to the section called “Switching”
2) Enable Switching for the option “Between Grouped Subscriptions”
3) Select any other options underneath that are applicable for you.

Thats pretty much where Im up to at the moment, let me know how you get on! ??

I’m not working on that site at the moment, so please do update this thread if you’re successful.

I’d also like to give customers the choices of paying monthly, yearly etc. with a price adjustment (cheaper) for paying more upfront. When I go back to the project I’ll be looking at the subscriptions in more detail – I’m hoping in the meantime, there is an update! ??

From what I can see, here’s a possible issue…

When downgrading, any “premium” based subscription fields (that are hidden on “free” subscription listings) remain.

For example, Im using the WC Field Editor Plugin to limit certain listing fields to “Paid For” listing types only. For example, a business logo.

I created a “free” listing and subscription, then upgraded it to a “paid for” subscription. I then added the logo via the newly available “logo” field.

I then downgraded the same listing back to the “free” listing, the company logo remains..

Ah…

You may want to contact Miles about that – he may be able to apply a fix.

I’ve raised a couple of tickets via their support system, so lets see if we can come up with a solution ??

Great – good luck!

This is exactly what I was looking for! Any luck figuring out the “downgrading” issue? If somebody downgrades can it automatically remove their paid extras?

Yeah it works fine now, depending on the field. I had to contact Myles (creator of the WP Custom Fields plugin) but its looking like its resolved now.
