• Lately we’ve had a couple posts set to expire… and they just haven’t. Not sure what I can really post here to help troubleshoot. Maybe just seeing if others are having the same issue. We are still on WP 4.9.8. Regular “‘delete’ after XYZ date” and it just sits there with nothing happening. Though I just created a new one to test and it worked fine.

  • Do you have the debug log enabled? That may help provide some additional details.

    Just had another post fail to delete on expiration. It was supposed to delete yesterday at 1:05pm local time (the 5:05-ish in the logs below). I am pasting addtional days in the past in case it helps. Also note I noticed it hadn’t yet deleted today which is almost 24 hours past the expiration. The post still had everything set with a checkbox to expire and delete yesterday at 1:05pm.

    I am having the same issues here. It doesn’t auto change when it meets the expiration date. However, it does still work when I manually update the post but just clicking the Update button. Any news on this?

    unless someone can figure out a way to nudge the developer I think we may be waiting awhile for a response.

    Hi Aaron! How’s the Post Expirator? I’m also having same issues. Posts not expiring.

    I am having same issue. Some posts expire some don’t randomly.

    Hi!

    I am having the same issue!

    I think, that the Cron doesn’t working right.

    Only the first post will be saved in the cron, but not other posts.
