  • Muito bom

    Ótimo plugin, obrigado. Gostaria de saber como faço habilitar em somente um tipo de postagem especifica? <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Outra dúvida é como faço para já deixar demarcado o campo "nunca expira" como padrão ? Pois a expiração é um requisito da minha publicação e não pode ser esquecido(site de vagas de emprego).</font></font> Edit: Sou Leigo em programação mas a questão da checkbox já ficar desmarcada como padrão eu consegui resolver alterando a linha 342 para: <input type="checkbox" name="exp-enable" <?php checked( false ); ?> id="exp-enable" value="never" /> Agora só preciso fazer com que a expiração seja habilitada somente em uma tipo de postagem específica.

  • Could be better

    Thank you for the plugin. Why it is not working when we choose a time like 10 min. later? Ex. Current time Nov 4 2019 15:00 and set to expire Nov 4 2019 15:10 Post expires right away without waiting for 10 min. 2. question is there a shortcode to echo expiration date on the post?
