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.

This plugin allows you to automatically set an expiration date for your posts, ensuring they are managed efficiently over time.
When a post reaches its expiration date, it is automatically moved to draft, making it no longer visible on the front end but still available for editing or future publication.
This feature is ideal for content that is time-sensitive, such as promotions, announcements, or event-related posts, helping you maintain a clean and relevant website without needing to manually manage outdated content.
You can configure the expiration period to suit your needs, streamlining post lifecycle management.

<h3>How it works</h3>
After creating or editing a post, you can set a specific expiration date or by edit posts. This is typically done via a simple calendar picker.
The plugin automatically monitors all posts with expiration dates, checking the current date against the set expiration.
When a post reaches its expiration date, the plugin automatically moves it to draft status. This makes the post invisible to users on the front end but still accessible for you in the backend for review, edits, or republishing.
The plugin works with most post types, including custom post types.
We’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions for additional features!
