There are a number of different ways that the posts can expire:

• Draft
• Delete
• Trash
• Private
• Stick
• Unstick
• Categories: Replace
• Categories: Add
• Categories: Remove

For each expiration event, a custom cron job will be scheduled which will help reduce server overhead for busy sites.

The expiration date can be displayed within the actual post by using the [postexpirator] tag. The format attribute will override the plugin
default display format. See the PHP Date Function for valid date/time format options.

NOTE: This plugin REQUIRES that WP-CRON is setup and functional on your webhost. Some hosts do not support this, so please check and confirm if you run into issues using the plugin.

[postexpirator] shortcode attributes

This plugin is fully compatible with WordPress Multisite Mode.
