 * Before when this was called post expirator, you had the option to move a post
   to another category. That option is no longer available.
 * Why nerf the plugin like that?
 * This is from the documentation:
 * “`Change the Categories
    Three of the options will modify the categories on your
   post:
 * Categories: Replace: remove all existing categories, and add new categories.
   
   Categories: Add: keep all existing categories, and add new categories. Categories:
   Remove: keep all existing categories, except for those specified in this change.`”
 * When you choose to replace, you don’t have the option to choose an existing category,
   you can move the post to.
 * This is a step back from the “original” Plugin, can we get that function back?

 * [@satraptech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/satraptech/) Nothing has been
   removed at all regarding categories. You’re welcome to test earlier versions 
   and compare.
 * If you see a possible bug, please report it with as much detail as possible to
   someone else can replicate it.

 * In Post Expirator it was possible to move post from one existing category to 
   another. Is this still the case?
 * I see the option replace category in the drop-down, but won’t get any option,
   which category to move the post to.
