This plug-in adds a meta box to the post and page writing pages in wp-admin to set up an expiration date for that item. It uses the WordPress cron feature to be executed once a day.
After the expiration date the post will be in the trash can of WordPress. The plug-in does not delete any post, but WordPress will depending on the trash can settings.

A simple plugin that allows you to set an expiration date on posts. Once a post is expired, “Expired” will be prefixed to the post title.
You can show the expiration status of a post using the [expires] short code.
The [expires] short code accepts 5 optional parameters:
<ul>
<li>
expires_on – The text to be shown when a post has not yet expired. Default: <code>This item expires on: %s</code>

</li>
<li>
class – The class or classes given to the DIV element
</li>
<li>
id – The ID given to the DIV element

The <code>%s</code> will be replaced with the expiration date.
