• I’m looking for a plugin that allows to automatically delete a post after a limit date which is defined in the administration panel, when the post is posted.

    I searched it for a long time, but without any success. Does anybody know something like that ?

    Any updates on the auto move plugin?

    I think it would be a good idea to add it anyway, as some people will find it useful, but, unfortunatly it wont be able to do what i want it too. But thanks for your response.

    I must once again apologize for my delay, I was just VERY swamped at work after returning from my vacation.

    But, I’ve updated the plugin to add the Move feature. You can now choose to move all your posts into a single category rather than deleting them.

    Rather than delay this release to add the “deletion of a single category” feature, here is v0.2. I will get this extra feature in 0.3 soon.

    Maybe its just me but the Move doesn’t seem to be working. I have the number of days set to 1 and the Destination set to where I want the posts to move too. In my case I want old posts from Upcoming Shows to be moved to Past Shows. The plugin doesn’t seem to be doing that for me. Any ideas?

    For starters, could you set the number of days to 1 and set the action to preview, can you see that it shows the correct number of posts and their categories.

    Once that is all set, we can figure out why it isn’t moving posts for you. In my testing I managed to move all my posts from various categories into the “Uncategorized” category without any issues.

    Ok I did that and it looks like it shows all the posts. It shows my 3 categories: News, Past Shows and Upcoming Shows. It also shows the Post ID, Post Title, Post Category and No. of Comments.

    OK, next step. During the configuration of Move, did you first choose the Move option, hit Update Options, choose your category and hit the second Update Options below?

    Once that is done, you should be able to go to any other page and return to this page and find both the Move option set as well as your particular move-to category set as well. If both of these things are set, we will have to dig further.

    For the actual move itself, I use standard WP calls.

    Yes I set 1 and MOVE. Then I chose where I wanted the posts moved TO, and hit the 2nd update button. I am still not getting anything. Hmmm…

    Hmm OK then. Lemme debug this for you, please contact me at: abihari AT gmail DOT com, and we’ll figure this out offline and I’ll come back and post a new release or a fix here.

    Just emailed you:) Thanks again:) No rush on it though too…

    Sorry to resurrect a very old post – but whatever happened to this? Is the plugin still available from someone, and is it still being developed?
