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
