 * Hi all,
 * So I’ve been given the task of implementing an online membership signup & management
   into an association’s WordPress website and thought I’d seek some advice on how
   to best implement this using WordPress. The membership process is as follows:
    - Applicant fills out an online application form on website (applicant selects
      their desired membership role of either “FullMember” or “StudentMember” during
      this step – if “StudentMember”, applicant is required to state the date that
      they are expected to finish their studies)
       * After submission, applicant will receive an email confirming the submission
         and that it’s under review.
    - Committee (ie. admins) receives application, reviews it, and either approves
      or denies it;
       * If application is approved, applicant is sent an email with a link to a
         payment form on the website where they can pay for the membership option
         they chose in the original online application form. This payment form should
         also have some fields pre-filled from the original online application form
         where needed (e.g. name, email address).
          - Applicant has the option of either paying a once-off annual fee or a
            recurring annual fee for the membership (via an online payment gateway
            or bank transfer, applicant to pay processing fees if paying online).
             * If a member paid a once-off annual fee for their membership, they
               can extend their membership for another year by accessing the payment
               form.
                - If a “StudentMember” wants to extend their membership and the 
                  end date of their studies falls before the date their current 
                  subscription expires, they can only extend their membership at
                  the “FullMember” price (and then their role will change to “FullMember”
                  from the day after the end date of their studies).
             * If payment was via bank transfer, admin will manually update applicant’s
               user role once payment has gone through.
       * If application is denied, applicant is sent a notification email.
 * Once an applicant becomes a member:
    - Member can manage their membership details (update address, etc.) via the 
      website.
    - Member can cancel their membership (and be issued a pro-rata refund if required).
    - Member can change from “StudentMember” to “FullMember”, but a change from “
      FullMember” to “StudentMember” (requiring an end date to be entered in) requires
      admin approval.
    - Members are shown on a public members list (a dynamic table) on the website(
      this list can be searched and/or filtered).
 * An additional factor that might be a sticking point:
    - If a “StudentMember” reaches the end date of their studies, then they will
      be upgraded to a “FullMember” from the day after the end date until the end
      of their current subscription, at which they will then pay the “FullMember”
      price to renew.
       * A “StudentMember” can update/extend the end date if required, but this 
         needs to be approved by an admin.
 * I feel like this might be one for a website developer, but would love some help
   if this is feasible via WordPress plugins.
