Deviking Post Expiration

Move Expired Content to Draft

What Move to Draft does

When the expiration time arrives, Deviking Post Expiration changes the WordPress post status to Draft.

When to use it

Move to Draft is a good choice when expired content should disappear from the public website but remain easy to review, edit, and republish later.

Typical use cases

  • Temporary announcements
  • Short-term campaigns
  • Seasonal posts
  • Promotional pages
  • Event information that may be reused later

After expiration

The content remains stored in WordPress. Administrators and editors can open it, modify it, and publish it again if required.

If you republish expired content for a new campaign, review and configure a new expiration schedule rather than assuming the previous schedule will automatically repeat.
