Answers.Text: Your answer was helpful, thanks, but like everything (it seems) the solution to get this working is more complicated.  We're using a UK direct debit extension which doesn't seem to work with membership contribution pages. However, there does seem to be a problem with configuring membership contrib screens if you do them out of order as I did.  You can't do 'A' unless you do something in 'B' and vice versa, so you're stuck.  But do them in order and you're OK.

Answers.Text: Hi Andy,
  
  Are you saying the uk direct debit module just won't work with memberships?
  
  Or, that it will work with a membership contribution page but you have to follow the exact steps in set up?
  
  I've just installed UK Direct Debit with Smart Debit extensions and am trying to configure a membership contribution page.
  
  Any advice you can give would be appreciated.
  
  Cheers,
  
  Craig

Body: <p>Using 4.6.8 I have a monthly membership that is not auto-renew, and I am using a payment processor that supports recurring payments (Go Cardless for UK direct debit). Now I want to set up a membership payment page.  In the 'Amounts' section I checked 'recurring contributions' but when I tried to save I get the message "You cannot enable both Recurring Contributions and Auto-renew memberships on the same online contribution page."
  Which isn't helpful as the membership isn't auto-renew.  What am I doing wrong?</p>

  Isn't this because the auto-renew function on the Membership tab takes care of the recurring payment, so you don't need to also enable recurring Contributions? Does the [Manual](http://book.civicrm.org/user/current/membership/online-membership-sign-up/) help clarify this for you?
