Manually set expiration date not working

    Hi Mike,

    first: Thank you for this great plugin, I sincerely love it.

    One issue I have: The manually set expiry date for jobs doesn’t seem to do anything. Jobs just don’t expire.

    We didn’t set a number of days in the global setting after which jobs should expire. Does that mean that expiration is turned off, even if there’s an expiration date for a job listing?

    Cheers,
    Jan

    Try re-activating the plugin – it schedules a WP Cron event hourly to check for expired jobs and change their status to ‘expired’.

    wp_schedule_event( time(), 'hourly', 'job_manager_check_for_expired_jobs' );

    Settings should make no difference.

    Alright Mike, thank you for the quick reply! I’ll give it a try and mark the topic as resolved if it worked. That’s the way it goes, right? First time using the support forums, sorry. ??

    Hi Mike,

    seems that was indeed the problem. Very happy for this easy solution.

    Cheers, Jan

    So just for the record:

    Solution

    In case jobs in WP Job Manager don’t expire even though they are past their expiration date, just de- then reactivate the WP Job Manager plugin.

    In case the WP Cron that’s supposed to check for expired jobs stopped working, it will be restarted.
