Product Description

Content Lifecycle
Content often has a relevant timeframe — job postings expire, event announcements become outdated, seasonal promotions end. Future Pro automates removing or updating such content rather than relying on manual intervention after deadlines pass.
Automation Options
Beyond simple expiration, the plugin can change post categories (moving from "current" to "archived"), update status (published to draft), add sticky status, or trigger custom actions through WordPress hooks.
Our Verdict

Expert Reviewer
Future Pro is a practical content lifecycle tool. Automatic expiration is useful for time-sensitive content like job postings and event announcements. The category change feature provides an elegant way to archive content rather than simply hiding it.
