详情介绍:
Content Unpublisher lets you schedule a date and time for posts, pages or custom post types to automatically:
- Be moved to the Trash, or
- Be converted back to a draft Perfect for time-sensitive content such as promotions, events, job listings, announcements, or temporary landing pages.
- Set a future unpublish date and action per post, page or custom post type
- Native block editor support: an "Unpublish" row in the Summary panel, right below the publish date
- Classic Editor support: an Unpublish Settings box below the Publish box
- Choose which post types get the unpublish options (Content Unpublisher > Settings)
- Choose to trash or unpublish to draft
- Quick presets (in 1 week, in 30 days, end of month) and a clear warning when a date is in the past
- See schedules in the Posts list ("To draft on Dec. 24, 2026"), with a sortable column and Quick Edit / Bulk Edit support
- Admin overview of all scheduled actions: filter by action or post type, sort, and remove one or many at once (with Undo)
- History of executed actions, and a note on the post itself explaining why it is no longer published
- Lightweight and clean – no custom database tables How to use it:
- Open a post, page or enabled custom post type.
- Block editor: in the Summary panel, click the value next to "Unpublish" (it says "Never" until you set a date). Classic Editor: use the Unpublish Settings box in the sidebar.
- Pick a date and time, or click a preset: In 1 week, In 30 days or End of month.
- Under "Then change status to", choose Draft (hidden, easy to republish) or Trash.
- Save or update the post. The date shows up in the Posts list and on the Content Unpublisher overview.
安装:
- In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New, search for "Content Unpublisher" and click Install Now. Or upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
- Posts and pages are enabled right away. To use it on custom post types such as events or job listings, enable them under Content Unpublisher > Settings.
- Open any post and set a date next to "Unpublish" in the Summary panel (or in the Unpublish Settings box in the Classic Editor).
- Optional: on low-traffic sites, set up a real server cron job so actions run exactly on time (see the FAQ).

常见问题:
Does this use WP Cron?
Yes, it uses WordPress's built-in scheduling system to run unpublish tasks. WP-Cron runs when someone visits the site, so on quiet sites an action can run a little late. The overview warns you when actions are overdue; a real server cron job makes them run on time.
How do I make actions run exactly on time?
Add define( 'DISABLE_WP_CRON', true ); to wp-config.php and let your host call https://your-site.com/wp-cron.php every 5 minutes with a server cron job. Most hosts have a "Cron jobs" screen for this. Without it, actions run on the first visit after their scheduled time.
Where do I see what happened to a post?
Open Content Unpublisher > Overview and click History for the last 50 executed actions. A post that was changed to Draft also shows a note in the editor saying when and why.
Which timezone is used?
The date and time you enter use the timezone configured under Settings > General.
Does it work with custom post types?
Yes. Posts and pages are enabled by default. Enable other public post types, such as events or job listings, under Content Unpublisher > Settings. Developers can also change the list with the contun_post_types filter.
Is "Trash" always reversible?
Normally yes. If your site sets EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS to 0, WordPress has no trash and the item is deleted permanently instead.
Can I remove a scheduled unpublish?
Yes: from the edit screen, from Quick Edit or Bulk Edit in the Posts list, or from the overview page (one at a time or in bulk).

1.4
- New: block editor support. Set the unpublish date and action from an "Unpublish" row in the Summary panel, next to the publish date. The Classic Editor keeps the Unpublish Settings box
- Past days can no longer be picked, and Draft is preselected so a date is never saved without an action
- Shows a warning when Trash would delete permanently (
EMPTY_TRASH_DAYSis 0) - Enabled block editor post types get custom fields support, which WordPress needs to save the schedule from the block editor (the classic Custom Fields box stays hidden)
- New: quick date presets (in 1 week, in 30 days, end of month) in both editors
- The Classic Editor box uses Draft / Trash radio buttons instead of a dropdown
- A past date is no longer dropped silently: you see a warning while editing and a notice after saving
