The Post Expirator plugin is required for this. Other than that I know nuthing!
I don’t know how your trying to do the expiration, but you cannot just add in a custom field and have it work anymore. The 2.x version of the plugin changes how this works and there is now an event schedule for each post expiration to conserve system resources.
Thanks professor, I just installed Post Expirator. .
Post expiration is a built in function of WP User Frontend, but all it seems to do is set a custom field of “expiration-date” with some numbers. So, is this no longer a working function of this plugin?
I have no idea. This is something Tareq (author of this plugin) and a few others have toyed with. Try searching this forum or the web for more info and if that fails add a forum post asking for more info. Maybe Aaron can help.
I’ve reached out to Tareq and will see what I can do to assist in making these two plugins play nice again.
Hey Aaron, all I was doing just saving the timestamp on the post meta, it worked back then. What needs to do for the new version?
Thanks Aaron!
Forum member qzha017 was also interested in helping on this as he posted on my development thread.
Tareq’s very busy with the new Pro version of Frontend (I gave him a long list of recommendations) so it be good if you guys could figure this out.
One workaround could be to use an earlier version of PostExpirator but WordPress 3.5.1 compatability could be an issue.
I found what was wrong. You need to add this line to your wpuf-add-post.php
I took it a step further and incorporated the same datepicker for the expiration date that was used for the publish date. Here’s the code for that.
The cool thing about the number number string that is added to the meta and custom field area is that it can be used to sort by ending soonest.
Cool plugins guys. Looking forward to scaling up and needing the pro version of Frontend
