Content Expiration

Auto-unpublish posts after a date you set—set-and-forget for time-limited offers and listings.

Overview

Lets you set an expiration date on posts and pages (and other enabled types). When the date passes, the content is unpublished to draft (not trashed). Checks run via hourly cron, a throttled admin scan, and a front-end singular redirect to the home page if a visitor hits an expired URL. Manage dates from a meta box, Quick/Bulk Edit, a list column, or AJAX—REST meta supported.
