## Disgrifiad

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. It’s expected
 
that you already have created your custom post type or not (if you’ll be using posts
or pages for expiration).

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

### Use case:

If you’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 (let’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)

This plugin started deleting all my posts (not even CPTs) as soon as it was set 
up. Despite looking disabled in settings. Configuration changes did not save, showing
initial settings (like expiry=off) on every reload. Disabling the plugin didn’t 
stop the deletion, only removing it completely. By the time I realized what was 
happening and deleted the plugin, I was left with over 4,000 deleted posts. At least
they went to trash. But restoring them from trash takes ages, and then they’re all
drafts. Hours of work ruined. Very frustrating.
