You have got it wrong. The function wp_schedule_event() schedules a action hook with the third argument. So you will need to call your function on the scheduled hook. Like this – add_action( ‘archive_data’, ‘archive_data’ );
wp_schedule_single_event‘s $timestamp is the time you want the event to occur. This must be in a UNIX timestamp format. WP cron uses UTC/GMT time, not local time. Use time(), which is always GMT in WordPress. time() number of seconds since the Unix Epoch If you want to add a day, you need to add seconds: … Read more

This is bad for a couple of reasons (nobody might visit, tasks are started via apache handler instead of PHP CLI, …). Now, if you have disabled it, you need another way to … Read more
You can do this via wp_cron by using the following, function more_reccurences() { return array( ‘sixhourly’ => array(‘interval’ => 21600, ‘display’ => ‘Every 6 hours’), ); } add_filter(‘cron_schedules’, ‘more_reccurences’); then find the function that does the autopost and call it by if ( !wp_next_scheduled(‘autopost_function’) ) { wp_schedule_event(time(), ‘sixhourly’, ‘autopost_function’); } If you want to use … Read more
You’ll need to set up a cron job that checks once a day to see if the latest post is more than seven days old. So, some where in a plugin file. Schedule a new event. Then hook into that event. Grab the post date, turn it into a unix time stamp, and compare that … Read more
Did you try this plugin? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/scheduled-post-delete/ //// Sorry for my mistake, I understood you wrong. Try by pasting this in your functions.php: function auto_cat_remove() { global $post; wp_schedule_single_event( time() + 604800, ‘remove_news_cat_event’, array( $post->ID ) ); } function remove_news_cat_func( $post_id ) { global $wpdb; $category_id = get_cat_ID( ‘news’ ); $wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “DELETE FROM $wpdb->term_relationships WHERE … Read more
