After installing and activating the plugin you can use the shortcode [schedule]. You can pass upto 4 parameters, the date and the time to show the content and the date and time the content will expired and disappear from your page or post. You have to pass at least one parameter from the scheduled or expired.
Sample –
[schedule on=’2014-12-01′ at=”10:01″ expon=’2014-12-01′ expat=”13:15″] 
the content you want to hide here 
[/schedule]
The 4 parameters are “on”, “at”, “expon” and “expat”. 
“on” accepts a date, until that date is arrived the content will be hidden. 
“at” accepts a time. Time has to be set in 24hrs format. (date should be yy-mm-dd if you only pass time) 
“expon” accepts a date, the content will disappear from the page on this date. 
“expat” accepts a time. Time has to be set in 24hrs format. (date should be yy-mm-dd if you only pass time)
The time is compared with your blog’s time zone settings, if you set your time zone to local time zone it would be easy for you. Go to “General” settings of your wordpress dashboard, under “Time Zone” you can set the time zone you prefer.
Shortcodes will also run inside this shortcode!!

Scheduled Content

Scheduled content enables you to schedule portions of a post or page and/or set an expiery date for that content.

LukaCodes

We created LukaCodes Content Expiry Shortcode for cases where we want to publish content for a limited period and let it expire automatically without having to come back and edit the page later.
With the <code>[lcexp]</code> shortcode, we can wrap any temporary content inside a date-based rule. Until the selected date and time, the content is shown normally. Once that time passes, the plugin replaces it with a clear expiry message.
This makes the plugin useful for many everyday WordPress tasks, such as:
<ul>
<li>limited-time offers</li>
<li>temporary announcements</li>
<li>event notices</li>
<li>holiday messages</li>
<li>launch updates</li>
<li>short-term promotional text</li>
</ul>
Instead of removing content manually after a campaign or announcement ends, we can set the expiry date in advance and let the plugin handle it for us.
How we use it
We place the shortcode around the content we want to display temporarily:
<pre><code>[lcexp "30-06-2026 23:59"]This content will stay visible until the selected date and time.[/lcexp]
</code></pre>
Before the selected date and time: 
the content inside the shortcode is displayed normally.
After the selected date and time: 
the content is replaced automatically with the message:
<pre><code>This content is no longer available.
</code></pre>
Accepted date formats
We can use the shortcode with the following formats:
<ul>
<li><code>DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM</code></li>
<li><code>DD-MM-YYYY</code></li>
</ul>
We also support slash-separated dates such as:
<ul>
<li><code>DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM</code></li>
<li><code>DD/MM/YYYY</code></li>
</ul>
Examples
<pre><code>[lcexp "30-06-2026 23:59"]This offer ends tonight.[/lcexp]

[lcexp "25-12-2026"]Holiday message[/lcexp]

[lcexp "18:30 15-08-2026"]Event reminder[/lcexp]
</code></pre>
What we wanted to keep simple
We designed this plugin to stay lightweight and practical. We did not want to add unnecessary setup screens for something that can be handled directly inside the editor with a shortcode.
