Answers.Text: Hi Pete, thanks for the reply, that is what I understood too. Civi 5.9.0 on Joomla 3.9.3. The start date is one year off, so I get May 1st, 2018 to April 30th, 2020. Does it work better in Drupal? Any suggestions? I've set Early Bird to start March 1st, and did a registration today, March 1st.

Answers.Text: Hope this helps make it clearer - the Fixed Period Start Day shows the wrong year. it should show May 1st 2019, and instead it shows May 1st 2018. This error can be seen in the confirmation email, and in the members contact record. The variable I think is is:  $mem_start_date. I'm wondering if a band-aid solution is to modify the following: Message Template - Memberships - Receipt (on-line). Right answer is to get the membership start date right.
