It doesn’t like the header call after an update to 4.5.1 and the theme combo. Works with other themes. Rating retracted.

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by

Wow, really? Best Friday present ever!

Here’s what I have running in the theme functions:

function wpaesm_archive_old_data_custom_recurrence( $schedules ) {
	$schedules['monthly'] = array(
		'display' => __( 'Once a day', 'textdomain' ),
		'interval' => 86400,
	);
	return $schedules;
}
add_filter( 'cron_schedules', 'wpaesm_archive_old_data_custom_recurrence' );

/**
 * Schedule cron job.
 *
 * Schedule the archive event to happen daily.
 *
 * @since 2.2.0
 */
function wpaesm_archive_old_data() {
	if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'wpaesm_export_and_delete' ) ) {
		wp_schedule_event( current_time( 'timestamp' ), 'daily', 'wpaesm_export_and_delete' );
	}
}
add_action( 'init', 'wpaesm_archive_old_data' );

/**

 *
 * Find all shifts on the site that is more than a day old, change to worked status
 *
 * @since 2.2.0

 */
add_action( 'wpaesm_export_and_delete', 'wpaesm_do_archiving' );
function wpaesm_do_archiving() {

  	$before = date( 'm/d/Y', strtotime( '-1 day', time() ) );
	$csv_list = array();
	$changed = array();

	$oldshifts = wpaesm_find_old_shifts( $before );
	if( false !== $oldshifts ) {
		$csv_list['shifts'] = wpaesm_export_old_shifts( $oldshifts );
		$changed['shifts'] = wpaesm_delete_old_posts( $oldshifts );
	}

}

/**

 */
function wpaesm_find_old_shifts( $before ) {

	$args = array(
	    'post_type' => 'shift',
	    'posts_per_page' => -1,
	    'meta_key' => '_wpaesm_date',
	    'meta_value' => $before,
	    'meta_compare' => '<=',
	);

	$oldshifts = new WP_Query( $args );

	if ( $oldshifts->have_posts() ) {
		return $oldshifts;
	} else {
		return false;
	}

}

/**

 *

 */
function wpaesm_delete_old_posts( $oldshifts ) {

	$i = 0;

	while ( $oldshifts->have_posts() ) : $oldshifts->the_post();
                $post_id = get_the_id();
		$changed = wp_set_object_terms($post_id, 'worked', 'shift_status', false);
		if( $changed ) {
			$i++;
		}
	endwhile;
        reset_postdata();

	return $i;
}

Update: the job registers, I can run it manually but with no changes made to the shifts.

$deleted = array(); should have been $changed = array(); Still nada in the way of auto-working these shifts. If anyone has any suggestions I’d appreciate it. Thanks

It does not seem to be registering the job. I tried running it as is and the shifts remained as is. This should be in the themes functions file, correct?

in functions.php

Hi Morgan,

I’m totally lost on adding a cron job that actually changes the shifts before the current day to ‘worked’.

The code you supplied was very helpful, however i cant:
`wp_set_object_terms($post->ID, ‘worked’, ‘shift_status’, false);

I really really appreciate the help!

I’ll make up a plugin quick. So helpful, thanks so much for sharing- I’m new to php, coming from java and obj-c have been no help! Woohoo

This is perfect! Where would I stick this code, in the theme functions or in the plugin?

I tried to write one but it didn’t do what I wanted. Say I wanted to trash all shifts with an additional status of ‘report-submitted’ appended to ‘worked’. So all shifts with those two categories. Could you help me a little if you have spare time for this? Always appreciated.

To clarify: I just want to change the actual shift title to include the employee name &&/|| the job. The master schedule has all the jobs & employees attached so we’re good there.

Thanks so much for any help- I’m trying things too.

I’m looking to change the WordPress title. I display a list of the shifts and it would be nice to add the connected employee and assigned date to the titles. Thanks so much!

Solved! Thank you again, this is an amazing tool.

Sorry! I was going to erase the user right away but thank you- it didn’t feel right.
