    I would like to have fields that members can edit only if their subscription is active. (If it is expired, they will not be able to edit these fields.)

    I only have the encrypted trial version at present so I do not know if this is possible. However, from reading the manual, it appears that I could ...

    1. "Define and Add Custom Fields from PHP code" as discussed in "Customization --> Adding new fields."

    2. Leave those fields off of the Signup page.

    3. Include the fields in a protected page as described in "Include member's data into pages" (in "Customization" section).

    But will I be able to make those fields editable? And then update the database after the editing?

    Thank you for your response. Your product is very nice.

    I believe it is possible to implement what you need without editing aMember Pro code. As I understand, you need to update external database with these new values, right? Then logic of update must be implement in the plugin, and user status can be checked.

    In any case, answer is YES, it is possible.
