Expire posts

Àpèjúwe

NO LONGER IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT OR SUPPORT. This plugin serves only as proof of concept that worked at some point and is a good starter for many other solutions.

How to:

After installation go to Expire posts section in your Dashboard. ItÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s expected
that you already have created your custom post type or not (if youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’ll be using
posts or pages for expiration).

Choose:
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – desired post type
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – expiration checking frequency (plugin utilizes wp-cron)
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – and expiration time (for ex. 2 weeks, 5 days, 1 month, 2 years Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – must be
provided in English)
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – enable post expiration and save options, youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re good to go!

Use case:

If youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re running some WordPress based service (with job offers or anything
else) or just want to add some post type with expiration date to your blog
(letÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s say contests or polls). After proper setup expire-posts lets you
expire them automatically!

Goals:

• ✓ define post-type
• ✓ define time
• ✓ expire post (move to trash or draft state) under given circumstances.
• ✓ wp-admin interface
• ✓ make it compliant with WordPress plugins directory guidelines
• define action (this is to be written later since WordPress has really poor support of custom post statuses)
