There are 3 areas of code that you will need to change if you wish to use a custom taxonomy instead of the default category:.

In the examples below I will use ‘mycat’ as the slug for my custom taxonomy.

In the “expirationdate_delete_expired_posts” function find

wp_update_post(array('ID' => $a->post_id, 'post_category' => $cat[0]));

and replace with

$terms = array_map('intval', $cat[0]);
wp_set_object_terms($a->post_id,$terms,'mycat',false);

In the “expirationdate_meta_box” function find

wp_terms_checklist(0, array( 'taxonomy' => 'category', 'walker' => $walker, 'selected_cats' => $categories, 'checked_ontop' => false ) );

and replace it with

wp_terms_checklist(0, array( 'taxonomy' => 'mycat', 'walker' => $walker, 'selected_cats' => $categories, 'checked_ontop' => false ) );

In the “postExpiratorMenuGeneral” function find

wp_terms_checklist(0, array( 'taxonomy' => 'category', 'walker' => $walker, 'selected_cats' => $categories, 'checked_ontop' => false ) );

and replace it with

wp_terms_checklist(0, array( 'taxonomy' => 'mycat', 'walker' => $walker, 'selected_cats' => $categories, 'checked_ontop' => false ) );

That should do the trick – or at least it did for me in my testing on 3.3.2

Since you are having this issue with more than 1 plugin – I would try just one at a time, and verify that your wordpress install is correctly setup.

did you specifically try hitting the “upgrade” link and resetting the cron schedules in the settings area?

Are you talking about the month drop down when setting the expiration date or are you referring to some other area?

The month drop down is currently programatically generated, which doesn’t seem to like localization. I can address this in a future release.

On the post expirator settings page, go to the “upgrade” link and try resetting the cron schedules.

I was able to reproduce this and have a fix. I’ll be rolling out 1.5.2 later today here.

Should be fixed in 1.5 – the box now defaults to the side
