## Description

Post expire date Sidebar for Gutenberg will add a Gutenberg sidebar where the user
can enable Post expiration by setting an expiration date and time and a status (
draft, trash, private) the Post will revert once expired. Expiration date can be
removed or rescheduled at any time. Post expire date for Gutenberg uses wp-cron 
to schedule the single event, please be sure you have wp-cron active on your installation.

You can print the expiration date and time inside a post, using the shortcode [expiration_datetime]
inside your post.

## FAQ

### Does it work only on Gutenberg block editor?

Yes, this plugin was specifically made to add a sidebar in block editor.

### Why my post did not expire?

It could be for a couple of reason: first you don’t have wp-cron running, please
check your wp-cron is running (there are many plugins, like WP-Cron Status Checker);
second, the way wp-cron is triggered is by site visit, scheduled events runs when
the date they are scheduled is passed AND someone visit the site

though. Thank you! Keep up the good work 😉
