ContWiz Content Expiration Manager

ContWiz Content Expiration Manager enables you to automatically expire WordPress posts and pages on a schedule. Set an expiry date and time on any post or page, choose what happens when it expires, and let the plugin handle the rest — no manual cleanup needed.

Whether you manage a news site, a promotional landing page, a job board, or a blog, outdated content hurts your credibility and SEO. ContWiz Content Expiration Manager keeps your WordPress site fresh and accurate, automatically.

How It Works

1. Edit any post or page and set an expiry date and time.
2. Choose an expiry action: Move to Draft, Move to Trash, or Keep Published with a notification.
3. The plugin automatically processes expired content on your configured schedule.
4. You receive email reminders before content expires so you can review or update it.
