Post Expiration via code
-
Hello,
First of all thank you for your awesome plugin. It works perfectly!I have a question though, I created a script that allows me to create custom product programmatically. The problem is that when I create a product programmatically, the expiration date will not be set. Instead, if I create the product (woocommerce of course) manually on wordpress, the expiration date works as expected.
The only way to make a product created programmatically to expire, is to manual update the product itself on WordPress.
My question, in other word is: how can I set the expiration date via code programmatically once I created my custom product? Or, is there a way to make it happens via WordPress?
Thank you!

Hey, the plugin has a problem with script calls to create new posts. This problem extends for Rest API usage too.
I made a simple customization in plugin. Add in post-expirator.php (anywhere) an action:add_action('post_expirator_event','_scheduleExpiratorEvent',1,3);So, in my own code I call the action:
//get the custom Post Expirator settings $expire_custom = get_option('expirationdateDefaultDateCustom'); //create a date based on settings $expire_date = date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($expire_custom, current_time( 'timestamp', 0 ))); //convert to GMT (Post Expirator uses in this way) $ts = get_gmt_from_date($expire_date,'U'); //create the options as you need (I don't know all options available), in my case works $opts = array(); $opts['expireType'] = 'delete'; $opts['id'] = $post_id; //call the action and be happy! do_action('post_expirator_event',$post_id,$ts,$opts);@pesseba, I just noticed, after months that the code worked pretty good, that the code is not working anymore.
I mean, your code creates the expiration date, but it doesn’t expire at all :\
… Any suggestions?
