When the date arrives, the plugin automatically changes the content’s status — no manual monitoring required. #### Key features * Set expiration date and time on any post or page (date/time picker included) * Three built-in expiry actions: **change to Draft**, **move to Trash**, or **make Private** * Works with any custom post type * Configurable default action per site * Admin list column shows expiration date at a glance * Lightweight — no bloat, no external requests, no tracking * WP-Cron based scheduling — reliable, no server cron required #### PRO features (coming soon) * **Email notifications** — get notified X days before expiry (admin, author, or custom email) * **Redirect action** — 301 redirect expired content to any URL (SEO-friendly) * **Content replacement** — keep the post published but swap the content with a„ this offer has expired“ message * **Expiry dashboard** — see what expires in the next 7 / 30 days, filterable by post type * **Bulk expiry management** — set expiration on multiple posts at once from the list screen * **Recurring expiry** — auto-reschedule expiry after it triggers (great for seasonal content) ## Screenshots [⌊The Post Expiration meta box in the block editor sidebar — set expiration date, time, and action per post.⌉⌊The Post Expiration meta box in the block editor sidebar— set expiration date, time, and action per post.⌉[ The Post Expiration meta box in the block editor sidebar — set expiration date, time, and action per post.

Upload the `content-expiry-md` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress 3. Go to **Content Expiry** in the WordPress admin menu to configure supported post types and the default action 4. Edit any post or page and look for the **Post Expiration** meta box in the sidebar ## FAQ ### Does this work with custom post types? Yes. Go to **Settings Content Expiry** and check the post types you want to enable expiry for. ### What happens when a post expires? Depending on the action you chose, the post is either changed to Draft, moved to Trash, or made Private. The change happens automatically in the background via WP- Cron. ### Will this slow down my site? No. The plugin uses WP-Cron and runs only when WordPress is already handling a request. There are no external API calls and no frontend JavaScript. ### What if WP-Cron is disabled on my server? You can use a real server cron to trigger `wp-cron.php`. See the WordPress documentation on [alternative cron setups](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/cron/hooking-wp-cron-into-the-system-task-scheduler/). ### Is the plugin compatible with the block editor (Gutenberg)? Yes. The expiry settings appear in the sidebar meta box, which works in both the classic and block editors. ### Can I schedule the same post to expire multiple times? Not in the free version — once a post expires and the action triggers, the expiration date is cleared. Recurring expiry is a PRO feature. ### Where is my data stored? The expiration date and action are stored as post meta (`_mdce_expiration_date` and `_mdce_expiration_action`). Plugin settings are stored in `wp_options` under` mdce_settings`. Nothing is sent off-site. ## Rezensionen Zu diesem Plugin liegen noch keine Rezensionen vor. ## Mitwirkende und Entwickler „MonkeyDesign Content Expiry“ ist Open-Source-Software.
