Remove tag

yflement – I know this is an older thread, but did you every find a solution for this? I have a similar issue.

I used this plugin but added code to remove the tag of a post. I know basically no PHP so it’s probably very ugly, but I can look up the code and post if you want.

@yflement – If you are able to track down the code you used for it, that would be great. I appreciate your reply, thanks.

I’m using version 2.1.4. In post-expirator.php:

An if-else chain starts at line 472. I altered the last elseif to:

elseif ($expireType == 'category-remove') {
    $tag = "registration closed";
    wp_set_object_terms( $id, array($tag), 'post_tag', false );        	
}

What this does: it makes the ‘Remove category’-action remove all tags from the post (wp_set_object_terms) and replaces it with a single tag named ‘registration closed’ (i start with posts that have tag ‘registration’).

In the _postExpiratorExpireType function i changed the last statement in if ($type != 'page') to:

$rv[] = '<option value="category-remove" '. ($selected == 'category-remove' ? 'selected="selected"' : '') . '>'.__('Remove tag','post-expirator').'</option>';

Which makes it so that when you select ‘Remove tag’ from the dropdown in the front-end that it will go into the modified elseif above.

I have uploaded the complete file at https://pastebin.com/Cg8kWNtm. In the end, it’s very limited and you can’t use the remove-category action anymore but it’s what did the job for me.

Hopefully it helps you in any way!
