AIT Easy Post Customization

Description

AIT Easy Post Customization is a powerful yet easy-to-use plugin designed to give users control over the lifespan of their posts and custom post types by allowing you to set an expiry date. If you’re managing time-sensitive content, like event announcements, special promotions, or limited-time offers, this plugin automates the process of unpublishing or archiving content, making content management hassle-free.
