Expire Content Block is a simple but powerful Gutenberg block that lets you schedule content expiration — without shortcodes, without coding, and with live visual previews while editing.
Place any blocks inside it (images, text, buttons, forms, anything), set an expiry date and time… 
After that moment, the content will automatically be hidden or replaced with a custom message.
Perfect for: 
– Limited-time promotions 
– Event registration closing 
– Temporary announcements 
– Holiday notices 
– Launch campaigns 
– Membership or course content phases
