<p>NO LONGER IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT OR SUPPORT. This plugin serves only as proof of concept that worked at some point and is a good starter for many other solutions.</p>
<h3>How to:</h3>
<p>After installation go to Expire posts section in your Dashboard. It’s expected<br />
that you already have created your custom post type or not (if you’ll be using<br />
posts or pages for expiration).</p>
<p>Choose:<br />
– desired post type<br />
– expiration checking frequency (plugin utilizes wp-cron)<br />
– and expiration time (for ex. 2 weeks, 5 days, 1 month, 2 years – must be<br />
  provided in English)<br />
– enable post expiration and save options, you’re good to go!</p>
<h3>Use case:</h3>
<p>If you’re running some WordPress based service (with job offers or anything<br />
else) or just want to add some post type with expiration date to your blog<br />
(let’s say contests or polls). After proper setup expire-posts lets you<br />
expire them automatically!</p>
<h3>Goals:</h3>
<ul>
<li>✓ define post-type</li>
<li>✓ define time</li>
<li>✓ expire post (move to trash or draft state) under given circumstances. </li>
<li>✓ wp-admin interface</li>
<li>✓ make it compliant with WordPress plugins directory guidelines</li>
<li>define action (this is to be written later since WordPress has really poor support of custom post statuses)</li>
</ul>
