Manna Publish

Expire Ads

This script uses the wp-cli command (i.e. wp ...) to get the currently-published Ad (there should only be one) with the 'Ad-New' Category. Since the PublishPress Future plugin is being used to set an expiry date for these Ad posts, the _expiration-date metadata is set with the Unix timestamp of that date.

This timestamp is compared with today's date (i.e. the timestamp of the date the script is being run) and the post is expired, all using the wp command.

Here is what this looks like:

id=$(wp post list --category_name=ad-new --post_status=publish --format=csv|grep -v 'ID'|cut -d ',' -f '1')

today=$(date +%s)

expiry=$(wp post meta get $id _expiration-date)

[ $today -ge $expiry ] && echo "EXPIRING POST ${id}" ; wp post update $id --post_status=draft || exit
