Schedule Terms lets you reserve a date and time for a category, tag, or any other taxonomy term to be attached to or detached from a post, instead of editing the post manually when the time comes. It’s useful for things like: Featuring a post in a “Sale” or “Campaign” category only during a specific period, and removing it automatically afterwards. Adding a “New” tag to a post for a limited time after publishing. Hiding a post from a “Featured” listing taxonomy once a promotion ends. Once scheduling is enabled for a taxonomy, a “Schedule Terms” panel appears in the post editor for every term in that taxonomy, with separate “Attach” and “Detach” date/time fields. WordPress’ own cron system checks the schedule and updates the post’s terms automatically when the time arrives, so there’s nothing else to do once a schedule is set. Usage Go to the category, tag, or custom taxonomy management screen. Check the “Enable scheduling” checkbox when adding or editing a term (or via Quick Edit) to turn scheduling on for that term. Open a post in the block editor and find the “Schedule Terms” panel in the document sidebar. Set the “Attach” date/time to have the term automatically added to the post at that time, and/or the “Detach” date/time to have it automatically removed. Save or update the post. The term will be attached/detached automatically once the scheduled time passes. FAQ Does the term get attached/detached even if I don’t edit the post again? Yes. Scheduling is handled by WordPress cron, so the post doesn’t need to be opened or saved again after the schedule is set. What happens if I leave both the “Attach” and “Detach” fields empty? Nothing is scheduled for that term on that post; the term is only added or removed when you do so manually, as usual. Can I use this with a custom taxonomy? Yes, scheduling can be enabled for any taxonomy that is shown in the admin UI (show_ui is true), not just categories and tags. Credits WP Term Meta UI
