 * After I installed the plugin and marked one post expiry, with past date, all 
   posts were so marked. I revised all posts as published. Repeated, marking one
   post as expired, again, all posts came up expired.
 * Any ideas?

 * using wp-4.9.1
    If I mark a single post to expire in the future, all posts are
   marked to expire on this same date, e.g. 2018-01-01. In this case, the post isn’t
   marked expired, as I stated earlier.
 * I set DISABLE_WP_CRON to ‘true’ in wp-settings.php and setup a cron job to run
   wp-cron.php every 1 minute. That seems to make no difference.
 * I created a new post, checking “enable post expiration” with a default +1 month
   date. When I publish this new post all posts are then given this new expiration
   date of +1 month – 2018-02-02.
 * I created a new post, not checking “enable post expiration”. When I publish this
   new post, all posts are given an expiry date of “never”, except for 1. Perhaps
   this one had a date in the past.
 * It seems that the post expiration date is getting updated globally, rather than
   the to the one that should be updated.
