Kronos Automatic Post Expirator – WordPress Plugin

Description

Kronos Automatic Post Expirator Plugin for WordPress

Kronos Automatic Post Expirator is a powerful WordPress content cleanup and post expiration plugin designed to automatically manage old posts, pages, and custom post types. It uses the WordPress WP-Cron system to run scheduled expiration rules based on your selected conditions.

Automatically Expire Old Content

Kronos allows you to create rules that automatically identify and manage older or newer WordPress content. You can define expiration conditions using fixed dates, relative dates, or other filtering criteria.

Flexible Date-Based Rules

Create expiration rules based on a specific date or relative age. For example, you can target posts older than a selected number of days or content published before or after a particular date.

Advanced Content Filtering

Kronos provides multiple filtering options to precisely select which content should be affected by an expiration rule. Filter posts using author, category, tags, title, post type, post status, slug, search keywords, comment status, ping status, and custom meta values.

Delete or Move Posts to Trash

Choose how expired content should be handled. Depending on your configuration, Kronos can permanently delete selected posts or move them to the WordPress trash.

Set Old Posts as Draft or Pending

Instead of deleting content, you can configure Kronos to change the status of selected old posts to draft or pending. This provides an alternative workflow for reviewing content before removing it.

Republish Old Posts

Kronos can also be used to republish older content. You can refresh old posts by resetting their publication date, helping you manage older content as part of an ongoing publishing workflow.

Refresh Post Publication Dates

The plugin provides an option to reset the publish date of qualifying posts to the current time. It also includes an option to assign random dates when using the date-reset functionality.

Custom Post Type Support

Kronos is not limited to standard WordPress posts. You can create expiration rules for pages and active custom post types available on your WordPress installation.

Scheduled WP-Cron Cleanup

The built-in WP-Cron engine allows Kronos to automatically run expiration rules according to the configured schedule. This helps automate routine content cleanup without requiring manual execution each time.

Detailed Activity Logging

Monitor rule executions through the plugin’s activity and logging system. Logs can help you review scheduled or manually executed expiration actions and troubleshoot rule execution when required.

Email Expiration Reports

Kronos provides an option to send expiration-checking summaries by email. Configure the report email address and receive information about rule execution according to your settings.

Manual Rule Execution

In addition to scheduled execution, you can manually run expiration rules when needed. This makes it easier to test and control specific cleanup operations from the WordPress dashboard.
