Timed Visibility Block is a powerful wrapper block for the Block Editor (Gutenberg) that allows you to schedule when content is shown or hidden based on various time-based rules.
Key Features: 
– Date-Time Range Visibility: Show or hide content between a start and end date-time. 
– Daily Schedule Mode: Repeat visibility daily between a set time range (e.g., from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM every day). 
– Show/Hide Mode: Decide whether to show or hide content during the selected schedule (inverted logic support). 
– Fallback Message: Optionally display a custom message (e.g., “This content is no longer available”) when the content is hidden. 
– No Output on Expiry: When hidden, content is not rendered at all, keeping the HTML clean and optimized.

Control when your content shines—perfect for time-sensitive promotions and special events!

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.
