The Lock Membership Level Add On doesn’t offer its own action or filter hooks. Developers can use these functions in custom code to add, remove, or check a member’s locks, for example to lock a large group of existing members at once.

Parameters

  • $user_id: int; The user ID to lock.
  • $level_id: int; The level ID to lock, or 0 to lock all levels.
  • $expiration: int; A Unix timestamp (UTC) when the lock expires, or 0 for no expiration.
  • $payments_required: int; The number of successful payments required to unlock, or 0 to not use a payment count. Default 0.
