Paid Memberships Pro: Move Expired Members to a Free Level
When a paid membership expires, the member is moved to your free level instead of losing membership entirely, so they keep basic access and stay on your list.

Code
if ( ! function_exists( 'pmpro_changeMembershipLevel' ) ) {
return;
}
// ID of the free level.
$wpide_pmpro_free_level = 1;
add_action( 'pmpro_membership_post_membership_expiry', function ( $user_id, $level_id ) use ( $wpide_pmpro_free_level ) {
if ( (int) $level_id === (int) $wpide_pmpro_free_level || ! pmpro_getLevel( $wpide_pmpro_free_level ) ) {
return;
}
if ( ! pmpro_hasMembershipLevel( null, $user_id ) ) {
pmpro_changeMembershipLevel( (int) $wpide_pmpro_free_level, (int) $user_id );
}
}, 10, 2 );Notes
Set $wpide_pmpro_free_level to the ID of a free level that already exists.
