AutoExpire Pro is a smart WordPress plugin to schedule expiration for any post, page, or custom content. Choose whether the content should be moved to Trash, changed to Draft, Deleted, or Redirected to another URL — all based on the expiry date & time selected right from the post editor.

A dedicated AutoExpire Dashboard gives you a complete overview of:

• Scheduled expirations
• Activity logs
• Next content check countdown
• Items processed

Perfect for events, promotions, sales pages, and time-sensitive content, this plugin works in real-time using WordPress cron and supports both Gutenberg and Classic editors.

It also allows setting global default actions, a fallback redirect URL, and custom messages. The activity section shows actions taken in the last 24 hours, making tracking and reporting easy.

🚀 Key Features 

✅ Set Expiry Date & Time Per Post/Page: Easily select when the content should expire via the sidebar toggle inside the WordPress editor.

🗃️ Choose Action on Expiry: Automatically move to Trash, change to Draft, permanently Delete, or Redirect to a custom URL.

📆 AutoExpire Dashboard: Visual overview showing total items scheduled for expiry, items processed, activity logs (post/page, date, and action performed), and live countdown for the next expiration check.

🕑 Real-Time Expiry Checks: Content expiry is checked every minute to ensure timely processing of your expired content.

⚙️ Default Settings Configuration: Set global defaults for expiry action (Trash/Draft/Delete/Redirect), default redirection URL, and custom message after content expiry.
