So I want any post in the FREE category to change automatically to SPECIAL 12:00AM Daily. So I will have the post in General + SPECIAL category. - This topic was modified 6 years ago by [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/).

You may have to ask your host what path to use to reference the php binary file. Howerver, it is foten : /usr/bin/php in that case you would need to change php in your command line in the cron to : /usr/bin/php * Thread Starter [Mikel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ogmic/) * (@ogmic) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-a-code/page/3/#post-12979473) * > Also – again this is coming from your nocache header : > [https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-cache-limiter.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-cache-limiter.php) > The expiry date is listed as : Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT which > is a nod to a php developer. * [@corrinarusso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corrinarusso/) Is there any way to fix this, what is the advantage/disadvantage? * [corrinarusso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corrinarusso/) * (@corrinarusso) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-a-code/page/3/#post-12979478) * There’s nothing really to fix.

It should be very straight forward, so I think you must be overlooking something simple. Can you show me what you have so far ? * The code I provided early works for sure – as I have it running successful on my own server : * ``` 1&'); //echo $output."\n"; global $wpdb; $oldCatSlug = 'FREE'; $newCatSlug = 86; // you need to insert an integer here that matches your SPECIAL category $category = get_category_by_slug( $oldCatSlug ); if ( $category ) { $posts = get_posts( array( 'numberposts' => -1, 'category_name' => 'FREE', ) ); if ( $posts ) { foreach ( $posts as $post ) { // update categories the match FREE // see https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_set_post_categories wp_set_post_categories( $post->ID, $newCatSlug, false ); // set this to true if you want th is category appended } } } ?> ``` * Thread Starter [Mikel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ogmic/) * (@ogmic) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-a-code/page/3/#post-13041070) * [@corrinarusso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corrinarusso/) * Please I need help on this please… * I have a mobile recharge website created with woocoomerce. Presently, I process orders manually because I don’t know how to make it work automatically. * Just of recent, I got an API from two vendors so that I can integrate with my website. * The challenge/problem is that I don’t know how to do it – I have zero idea about how to make it work. * ABOUT MY WEBSITE WORKS; * I have 5 products(One of each representing different mobile networks, with several attributes serving as data plans options, and an add-on(woocoomerce product add- on) used to receive users phone number). I also have a wallet system, so that users can pay easily from their wallet – without having to use the card everytime on every order. * WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP; * • How do I make it possible so that once an order has been paid for on my website, it will automatically be submitted to the API for processing(automatically) * • And if possible also get a response… To update the order status on my website. - This reply was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by [Yui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fierevere/).

There are far too many different variables with your website, and especially with a vendor API(s) to be able to give you strong advice. * There are tonnes of articles that describe how to automate your processes in WooCommerce : [https://woocommerce.com/posts/automation-for-ecommerce-stores/](https://woocommerce.com/posts/automation-for-ecommerce-stores/) * When I am connecting my websites to a third party API, I use Zapier most often: [https://zapier.com/](https://zapier.com/) * If you don’t know how to do this, you’ll need to either learn or hire a developer. Your ask is too complicated for simple forum discussions.
