Private is the default post status but if you want another case, use filter hook for that. // Filter status if post type is `product` add_filter( 'tscp_expired_status', function( $status, $post ) { if ( 'product' == $post->post_type ) { $status = 'no-stock'; } return $status; }, 10, 2 ); If status is false, this plugin doesn't change post status. In such situation, you might need adding any custom field to post. Use another action which will occur just after tscp_expired_status. // do something just after post status is/isn't changed. add_action( 'tscp_post_expired', function( $post ) { // Post is still publish, // But add some custom fields update_post_meta( $post->ID, '_not_in_front_page', true ); } );

If you are low-resource environment, you might need low frequency. For example, assume that your site allows posts to be expired within 10 min. Use hook to delay interval. add_filter( 'tscp_cron_interval', function() { // Change interval from 60 sec to 600 sec. return 600; } );
