Taro Clockwork Post vs W4 Post List

You can enter expiration date on edit screen. This plugin runs cron every minute to search expired posts and make them private.

W4 Post List builds the lists that WordPress core still can’t: posts grouped under year, month, category or author headings; category and term indexes; user directories; and combined Terms + Posts and Users + Posts lists. You control the output with a template of plain HTML and simple template tags, so the markup stays clean, semantic and completely yours. Place any list anywhere with the W4 Post List block, the [postlist id="123"] shortcode, or the classic widget. What can you build? Year/month archives — posts grouped under date headings Category, tag or custom taxonomy indexes — with or without each term’s posts listed underneath Author and user directories — list users by role, with avatars, bios and each user’s posts Filtered post lists — any post type, filtered by status, taxonomy terms, custom fields, dates, authors, parents and more Media lists — image and attachment lists by mime type Five list types Posts Terms Users Terms + Posts Users + Posts Query options (Posts) Post type, status and mime type Search keyword Include/exclude posts by ID, exclude the current post Filter by parent, author, taxonomy terms (tax query), custom fields (meta query) and dates (date query) Items per page, with multi-page pagination Group results by Year, month, or month + year Category, tag or any custom taxonomy Author Parent Order results by ID, title, slug, publish date, modified date, menu order, comment count, custom field value, or random Pagination Next/previous links or numeric navigation, with optional AJAX page loading Full control over the output Output is template-driven: every list has an HTML template with template tags like [post_title], [post_permalink], [featured_image], [post_author_name] and [post_meta key="..."]. Start from a ready-made template — cards, archives, category indexes, user directories — and tweak it, or write your own markup for pixel-perfect control. A live preview in the editor shows your changes before you save. If you want a drag-and-drop visual builder, this plugin isn’t that — it keeps you close to your own HTML, which is exactly why themes and developers like it.
