WooCommerce Memberships: Access based on start date
It would be great to have the ability to restrict content based on membership start date. For instance, I sell weekly meal plan subscriptions. I give the content in pdf form as a file download as well as in a series of pages with recipe cards that they can access online.
How it is now, if someone signs up today, they would have online access to ALL meal plans from the past via the online versions unless I take them down the week after (or at some point after) they are originally released as the content for that week.
It would be great to set the content access date based on membership start such that you could protect a page or some part of a page to members that sign up before a certain date. So, the meal plan of this week would be accessible for any members that signed up on or before a set date. Any new members after the date set would not have access to that plan but would have access to new plans released and restricted appropriately.
This could apply nicely to any online weekly content.

This feature has more complexity than originally thought. The team will look into other requests first before this one, so we’re removing the status for now.

This seems like a serious no brainer for any Membership site.

We accomplished something like this for FloraBowley.com using the WooCommerce Post Locker, and a lot of custom code, but it would be nice to just have this an option in settings.

I currently achieve this functionality using Sequential Upgrades in WishList Member. We want to move to WooCommerce + Memberships but this is holding us back. Would really like to see this feature added.

Please add functionality to limit if someone is new to the site that they are only receiving content from when they join and forward. In other words if someone joins in 2013 and we release material weekly to them for two years and someone joins 2015 we don't want them to have all the past materials only material released during the time they have been a client.
Thank you so much!
