    Hi, this looks like exactly the plugin I want. However, when I use it I cannot see whether the expiration date is actually set or not. The function of the toggle button “expire” is not immediately clear. Is it needed to set a (new) expiry date or does it expire the post right away? There is no save button. Thanks for clearing this up and thanks for your time and effort.

    Hello,
    the functionality of the toggle button its just a enable/disable toggle, if you set it to “ON” the post will expire at a certain date (if you don’t set a date, the date is the default one, usually the date/time of post creation or opening).
    All the information about expiration (date, ON/OFF) are stored once the post is saved/published, a for every information you put in a post.
    Due to this, there is no order to follow when adding the expiration, you can set the expiration and then toggle it, set the toggle then the expiration and so on, nothing would happen until post is saved or published.
    In case (of a newly created post) you set the toggle to ON and you publish without setting the date, the post is born “expired” so it is “unpublished” the first time someone visit your site; in any case the post isn’t permanently deleted so you can recover it, change the date of expiration and publish it again

    i hope it is more clear now!
