Yes, the expiration feature is automatically added to all public post types, including custom ones. ### What happens when a post expires? Once the set expiration time has passed, the plugin will change the post’s status to “draft” and show a 404 error page if someone tries to access it. ### Why is the expired post still published after the expiration time? The post only changes to “draft” when it’s visited. If the post isn’t visited after its expiration, it will remain published until accessed. This avoids performance issues from background checks. ### Does it run on cron or scheduled events? No, The expiration is handled in real time, ensuring expired posts are processed efficiently when accessed, without cron jobs. ### Does this work with page builders or custom themes? Yes. It works independently of your theme or builder, since it only manages post status and 404 behavior. ### Can visitors still view expired posts if they have the direct link? No, Once the expiration time passes and the post is visited (to trigger expiration), it’s set to draft. It will show a 404 for all non-logged-in users. Admins can still access it in the dashboard. ### Where can I view a tutorial? You’ll find a full usage tutorial under **Settings Tutorial (TW LEM)**, including a Video Tutorial ### Can I bulk edit or set expiration dates for multiple posts? Currently, expiration is set individually per post via the post editor. Bulk editing is not available yet. ### Can I change how the expiration is handled (like deleting the post instead)? Not yet. Future versions may offer customizable expiration actions like trashing, deleting, or redirecting. ### Can I configure the expiration behavior? Currently, there is no settings page. A future update may include options for default expiration times or behavior. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “TW Link Expiration Manager” is open source software.
