 * Hi,
    I am looking for a plugin that deactivates (not delete) a certain role 30
   days after it registers. Note that I currently have a separate registration page
   for this type of user. Any help is appreciated!

 * You could write your own plugin, or you could just write a php script.
    I think
   it would be best if you create a cron that runs daily, or twice a day. WordPress
   already has the method to remove the role : [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_user/remove_role/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_user/remove_role/)
 * Basically, the script would :
    – loop through the users – get all users that 
   are registered today minus 30 days – remove the role from those users
 *     ```
       $users = get_users( fields' => array( 'ID', 'user_registered' ) );
        foreach($users as $user){
         $time = $user->user_registered;
          if(strtotime($time) < strtotime('-30 days')) {
            $u->remove_role( 'whatever-role' );
          }
        }
       ```

 * Thanks for the reply. I am trying to do this but when i run the cron function
   to test all the users in the role gets suspended regardless of registration time.
   Can you see what mistake i am making in the logic.
 *     ```
       $args1 = array(
                   'role' => 'um_sub-admin',
                   'date_query' => array(
                       'after' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-30 days'))
                   ) 
               );
   
        $sub = get_users($args1);
   
       foreach ($sub as $user) {
           $udata = get_userdata( $user->ID );
           $registered = $udata->user_registered;
           $reg_date = date( "Y m d", strtotime( $registered ) );
           if( $reg_date < strtotime('-30 days') ) {
   
               $udata->remove_role( 'um_sub-admin' );
               $udata->add_role( 'suspended' );
           }
   
       }
       ```

 * Are you saying this condition is always met ?
    if( $reg_date < strtotime(‘-30
   days’) ) {
 * Can you print this to the console and include it here ?
    $reg_date = date( “Y
   m d”, strtotime( $registered ) );

 * It worked out! I got the users with exact 30 days passed with date_query.
