Creotec Content Expiration Manager vs Redirection for Contact Form 7

Creotec Content Expiration Manager adds simple content lifecycle management to WordPress: Add an expiration date/time to posts, pages, and public custom post types. Choose what happens when content expires: Change status to Draft Make Private/Password Protect (unpublish) Redirect to another URL (301 or 302) Replace content with a custom “expired” message Display an “Expired” banner at the top of the post Move content to the bin/trash Optional pre-expiration reminder email to the site admin address. Reliable processing: Runs on WP-Cron every 10 minutes Includes a lightweight fallback check on normal WordPress requests (throttled) Admin overview page: Expiring Soon (next 30 days) Already Expired Bulk actions (extend date, disable expiration) Reusable templates for redirect, banner, and replacement-content actions. Per-post-type enabling/disabling under Settings > Post Expiration. List-table indicator icons show which posts have expiration enabled. No external services, no analytics, no licensing system. Usage Edit any supported post type. In the “Expiration” box: Check “Enable expiration”. Set an “Expiration date & time” (site timezone). Optionally choose a reminder email (1/3/7 days before). Choose what happens when it expires. Update/publish the post. To manage expirations site-wide: * Go to WP Admin > Expirations * Use tabs: * Expiring Soon (next 30 days) * Already Expired * Use bulk actions: * Extend by 7 days * Extend by 30 days * Disable expiration To choose which post types support expiration: * Go to Settings > Expirations. To create reusable expiration templates: * Go to Settings > Expirations. * Create templates for redirects, banners, or replacement content. * When editing a post, choose a template in the relevant expiration action. Template edits are reflected anywhere that template is selected. Restore original content (Replace action) When the action is “Replace content with a message”, the plugin saves the original content when the expiration is processed. After that, a “Restore original content” button appears in the Expiration meta box, allowing you to restore the saved content and disable expiration for that item. Expiration processing & reliability This plugin does not rely solely on WP-Cron. Primary: WP-Cron runs every 10 minutes to process reminders and expirations. Fallback: A lightweight check runs on WordPress requests (throttled via transient) to ensure expirations still trigger even if cron is delayed. Notes about caching: * Some full-page caches may serve pages without executing PHP. In those cases, expirations will still process when WordPress runs (admin requests, REST requests, cron, etc.). * On expiration, the plugin triggers an action hook so caching plugins/site code can purge caches: do_action( ‘creocem_post_expired’, $post_id, $action ); Hooks creocem_post_expired – Fires after a post is processed as expired.
