Update 3/8/21. Not working with 5.6.2. Several issues from earlier support tickets seem to still be unresolved. The time-picker isn't appearing under the calendar picker. Custom Post Types aren't being expired. I notice that support tickets going back one year haven't been answered. Is this plugin being supported?

guys, it is working completely fine. I personally tested on 5.1.1 wordpress. read the installation instruction. Thanks team.

Upon first installation, the date picker doesn't work when trying to set the expiry date. Well, that basically renders this plugin useless. Great idea, but needs to work properly first.

>>This plugin turns posts to a blank page when set a date to expire. same with me. Any ideas?
