I have been reading this post and coming across it for a while searching for post expire plugin. I have a coupon website but this plugin partly does what I want to, but I m stuck.

Is there a possibility, I can modify it not to delete the posts and use a different css class to highlight the expired posts instead?

Nice plugin. Ihanks-
I have a few enhancement requests for the next release:

Include Pages as well as Posts.

Incorporate draft/pending/change category in the admin panel.

Having it run hourly with the hour set in the post/page might be useful to most people as well.

Thanks a ton,
Rob

There a version compatible with WordPress 2.9.2?
Could enter the option where you can choose to delete or unpublish the post.
Your plugin is very good. Congratulations.

[...] Atropos plugin lets you set an expiration date for your posts. This is done in a new Advanced Options section of the post edit page. Pick your month and put in the date and year and your post will automatically be deleted or moved to draft, depending on your settings, at the end of that day. I’ve used this plugin in Stock2Clear to set an expiration date on product offers. [...]

Its good that you come to know when your post expires but I would not like to delete it so I’ll move it to some other category, is that possible ?

I just brougt up 2.8.6 and the date expired only shows that the post only expires at the end of xxxxx (month).

What is the change I have to make to get it to list a day/month/year format if at all possible.

Thanks,

John

I changed the plugin a bit to fit our function, which someone else mentioned above. I think this will work now so that after a post expires, it will change it from one category to another.

In this case, I am changing the term_taxonomy_id to 4 only if the post has expired and it is currently 3. ‘upcoming guests’ to ‘previous guests’

$wpdb->query(“UPDATE {$wpdb->term_relationships} SET term_taxonomy_id = ‘4′ WHERE object_id = $a AND term_taxonomy_id = ‘3′”);

I’m waiting for it to run tonight to see if it works, any ideas how I could do this a little smoother?

Sure. I’ll send to it you shortly. I’m sorry you’ve been having these problems. Perhaps in the future I should provide a function for setting or clearing an expiration date so it can be used programmatically without the headaches you’ve encountered.
