Post Expiry Manager

What this plugin does

Post Expiry Manager lets you set an exact expiry date and action on any post or page in WordPress. When the deadline hits, the plugin automatically unpublishes, trashes, or archives the content — no manual intervention needed. The Pro plan adds a live countdown shortcode, smart 404 redirects, and email notifications.

  • Set expiry date, time, and action on any post or page in seconds
  • Three expiry actions: unpublish, trash, or archive to a category
  • Live countdown shortcode with digital and SVG stopwatch styles (Pro)
  • Smart 404 redirect for expired post URLs so visitors never hit a dead end (Pro)
  • Email notifications when posts expire (Pro)
