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>
expired – The text to be shown when a post is expired. Default: <code>This item expired on: %s</code>
</li>
<li>
date_format – The format the expiration date should be displayed in
</li>
<li>
class – The class or classes given to the DIV element
</li>
<li>
id – The ID given to the DIV element
</li>
</ul>
The <code>%s</code> will be replaced with the expiration date.

Content Scheduler lets you control when content automatically expires, what to do with that content when it expires, and optionally provide notification to site contributors when the content expired.
<h4>Expiration Options</h4>
You control what happens upon expiration, including:
<ul>
<li>Change status to Pending, Draft, or Private</li>
<li>Add custom text to beginning or end of Post title</li>
<li>Unstick sticky Posts</li>
<li>Change Categories</li>
<li>Add and remove Tags</li>
<li>Move to the Trash</li>
</ul>
<h4>Notification Options</h4>
Content Scheduler can also notify you:
<ul>
<li>When expiration occurs</li>
</ul>
This reminder helps you keep content fresh, providing a reminder that content is out of date and needs updated or replaced. Content Scheduler lets you use notification tools without making any changes to content upon expiration, if you’d like.

Content Scheduler

Schedule content to automatically expire and change at a certain time, and notify people of expiration.
