Description
First I am sorry if this is a duplicate issues.
I set the subscription for two months. And normally after two months the user role should go back to authenticated not stay at gold member. The problem is after the two month period the user role doesn't change and we cannot go over all these users and change manually.
I my missing something?
how can we make the role of the user to downgrade to authenticated if they don't renew their membership?
Thanks

#1
Honestly, If the role of the user doesn't downgrade to a lesser one. what's the point of calling that subscription? I think there is a very important component missing here, this module should have an option where for example you have authenticated member and gold. you pay to upgrade to gold, but if you don't renew you will be automatically converted to authenticated user until you renew. It make more sense

This sounds like something that the module should have done automatically. Do you have time to do some debugging? Is your cron working properly? What events did you see from Paypal about this? (check the recent IPNs at admin/settings/lm_paypal/ipns)
Also, please, add your comments to #328730: Make it easier to integrate with LM Paypal

Oh I did not run the cron
speaking of which how do I run it I can't find the link anywhere

See http://drupal.org/cron for documentation

On a similar note: if a user is a "Role1" user and then subcribes to "Role2", lm_paypal simply adds Role2 to the user instead of switching them from Role1 to Role2. This can be problematic in certain situations. Any suggestions? Thanks.
