Overview
This plugin adds functionality to expire a post on a given date.
This plugin currently only works with the classical editor.
It does this by adding a new “Expires” date field in the Publish box.
By default posts don’t expire, but you can add a date instead.
Once that date is reached, the post is marked as expired and is no longer visible to the end user.
Dev Notes
- Dev occurs via https://github.com/ivankruchkoff/wp-expiring-posts
- the new post status is
expired - a filter called
exp_disable_expiration_for_this_postexists to disable this feature on a per-post basis.

Muito bom
by eufernando·3 years ago
Ótimo plugin, obrigado. Gostaria de saber como faço habilitar em somente um tipo de postagem especifica?
<font style=”vertical-align: inherit;”><font style=”vertical-align: inherit;”>Outra dúvida é como faço para já deixar demarcado o campo “nunca expira” como padrão ? Pois a expiração é um requisito da minha publicação e não pode ser esquecido(site de vagas de emprego).</font></font>
Edit: Sou Leigo em programação mas a questão da checkbox já ficar desmarcada como padrão eu consegui resolver alterando a linha 342 para:
<input type="checkbox" name="exp-enable" <?php checked( false ); ?> id="exp-enable" value="never" />Agora só preciso fazer com que a expiração seja habilitada somente em uma tipo de postagem específica.

Could be better

Thank you for the plugin. Why it is not working when we choose a time like 10 min. later?
Ex. Current time Nov 4 2019 15:00 and set to expire Nov 4 2019 15:10
Post expires right away without waiting for 10 min.
2. question is there a shortcode to echo expiration date on the post?
