## Code

```php
if ( ! class_exists( 'MeprUser' ) ) {
    return;
}

add_action( 'mepr-event-transaction-expired', function ( $event ) {
    $txn  = $event->get_data();
    $user = get_userdata( (int) $txn->user_id );

    if ( ! $user ) {
        return;
    }

    $member = new MeprUser( $user->ID );

    if ( $member->is_already_subscribed_to( (int) $txn->product_id ) ) {
        return; // Renewed or has another active transaction.
    }

    wp_mail(
        get_option( 'admin_email' ),
        sprintf( 'Membership expired: %s', $user->display_name ),
        sprintf( "%s (%s) no longer has an active \"%s\" membership.\n\nProfile: %s", $user->display_name, $user->user_email, get_the_title( (int) $txn->product_id ), admin_url( 'user-edit.php?user_id=' . $user->ID ) )
    );
} );
```

## Notes

MemberPress also fires this event for one-off transactions that reach their end date. Members who renewed in time are skipped.
