 * I was positioning the Expire control, moving it up closer to the top of the Posts
   settings sidebar with the Move ^ v option. It somehow went PAST the top entry
   and disappeared. How do I get it back? It really should have stopped moving.

 * Hi [@synergyhub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/synergyhub/)
 * Thanks for using Post Expirator.
 * Sorry, I’m not sure how we can help here. This seems like an issue with the metaboxes
   on your site.

 * I worked around it by doing a site restore to before I installed it. And then
   was Very careful to move it up slowly and not to the very top.
 * But the problem seems to be your plugin does not respect that it is at the top
   of the MetaBoxes **already**, and if someone clicks the **^** arrow one more 
   time Poof it is gone. If you are at the top, the ^ should not appear.
 * My constant fear is that some other admin might decide to move it .. and accidently
   go too far up.
 * FYI I have NOT had this issue with any other plugin.

 * [@synergyhub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/synergyhub/) Make sure that
   the metabox hasn’t moved into the center of the screen, rather than staying in
   the sidebar. It may be directly under your post content if you keep clicking 
   the ^ arrow.

 * I have worked around the issue the hard way a while back..
 * But from your comment is interesting and also confusing. How could it be in the
   center of the screen or Under the Post. How would I have ever been able to know
   that, or even see it to move it back down into the side panel.
 * It still boils down to the plugin should not have allowed that to happen at all.
 * As I have gotten past the issue and moved on… **I would close this thread**. 
   I only mentioned it because it is something the plugin should have never done.
