Simple Post Expiration

Description

A simple plugin that allows you to set an expiration date on posts. Once a post is expired, “Expired” will be prefixed to the post title.

You can show the expiration status of a post using the [expires] short code.

The [expires] short code accepts 5 optional parameters:

  • expires_on – The text to be shown when a post has not yet expired. Default: This item expires on: %s

  • expired – The text to be shown when a post is expired. Default: This item expired on: %s

  • date_format – The format the expiration date should be displayed in

  • class – The class or classes given to the DIV element

  • id – The ID given to the DIV element

The %s will be replaced with the expiration date.

I recently downloaded the plugin and it works and displaying on the item Expired once it is expired. I hope if it has a function to hide the expired item as well.

there is no possibility to choose the time, except for the choice of the date is more than anything. Add if you can also select the time. If there was still a possibility except off positions, it would be even disable the widget, in general would have been super !!!

I really found this plugin easy to use and nice. But would have given 5 STARS rating, if there would have a feature of time of a particular day to make a post expire. Like if i want to make a post expire at 5PM of 7 oct 2014. How is this possible?? Waiting for a reply.
