Hi there,
I has been a while since the update but it seems that this plugin has not been tested with the latest version of WordPress (v6.9).
This notification keep appearing on the plugin’s detail page:
Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress.
Is it safe or not to update this plugin?
I use it a lot, it should be a core feature.
Works as it should and makes it easy to unpublish posts according to a schedule.
Thank you so much for creating and maintaining this plugin!
