Hello,

I created custom field of date picker type named ‘expire_date’.
I need to change category of the post when current date is equal to ‘expire_date’.

I found this solution:
https://multiplestates.wordpress.com/2016/01/06/scheduling-a-category-change-based-on-an-advanced-custom-field-value-when-a-post-is-saved-using-a-wordpress-cron-job/

Is this a proper way to do it, or there is a more elegant way?

Any help is much appreciated!
