Stopped working once upgraded to WP 5.3

Same issue.

Hi, Same issue too.

Same problem here…
Please @axelseaa HELP US ! ??

Man I really hope that @axelseaa will come back to save this plugin ??

I hope so !!!!! PLEEEEEEASEEEEE

Hey all! I have tested and been using this plugin with 5.3. Can you provide some more details and/or error messages of what you are seeing?

1) Does it work in the classic editor and just not Gutenberg?

2) Are there any php errors reported in your logs?

3) Anything else that might be helpful?

OH MY GOD AARON !!!
So great to see you here !

For my part, I only use Gutemberg and when I want the categories to automatically replace themselves at the chosen time, nothing happens: /

In my case it’s not even expanding on the post edit page, it’s just a name bar. Hueman theme. Newest wordpress.

I’m having the same issue. On WordPress 5.3 and PHP 7.3.

When I add/update an expiration date on a post or page, it saves on the post/page itself and I can come back and change it. The cron job is never created within the WordPress database. For posts/pages with expiration dates prior to whatever broke it are still in the list of cron jobs. If I change the expiration date on those posts the events in the cron job database remain unchanged. It seems that is where the breakdown is.

Upcoming Cron Jobs – do not coincide with the actions above:

0 => 9536 Single Event
Sun, 15 Mar 2020 13:43:00 -0500 postExpiratorExpire
0 => 9024 Single Event

In my case ( I don’t work with Gutemberg ) the Problem is, that the post doesn’t expire at the specified date/time.

not working for me too ??

It’s been working sporadically for me. A bunch of posts did not get expired this weekend but when I went back in today and manually changed the expiration to a minute later it worked. I stupidly didn’t have debug mode on so don’t have that info at the moment but when I ran it now it threw no errors obviously. I did notice while looking at the diagnostics that I have some rogue cron jobs from deleted plugins and I wonder if that could affect it somehow. If it matters, I usually set posts to expire at midnight NY time of the day after the event but i don’t change the minutes so it ends up being midnight plus some minutes. I don’t use Gutenberg at all.

Hi everyone !
Still same problem… please @axelseaa, have you got any solution for us ?
Thanks for your help !

I’m having problems too, this plugin has worked in the past but the latest version of the plugin doesn’t work with the latest WordPress. WP_CRON is set up correctly etc, plugins checked blah blah blah and all.

Hi there,

more or less same issue here. I’m on a Windows server (sorry for that), on WP 5.3.2 with classic editor and have already added a scheduled task to fire wp_cron. Couldn’t make posts expire though ??

P.S: I’m trying to expire categories (remove and/or replace)

P.P.S: (not pretending to be rude) Any alternative plugin with expiring categories? Thx.
