 * Hi Frankie,
 * I love your plugin!
 * My organization is currently considering a new service on our site of Courtesy
   Listings and I was wondering if you might be able to create a feature for your
   plugin to choose a future date for a post to automatically change status to Archived?
   This would help us tremendously by keeping the courtesy content somewhat current
   without us having to keep track of dates and hunt down each requester every so
   often for updates. Auto-archive (rather than auto-delete) would also let us keep
   the post so that it can be re-activated should the requester want to re-post 
   after the expiration date.
 * Thanks for your fantastic plugin!

 * Hi nrbailey, thanks for the feedback.
 * Someone suggested this in Github, it’s a good idea. I might implement it someday
   but don’t have plans to yet.

 * This is the feature I’m looking for too.
 * We have several local governments (regional districts, cities, etc.) that need
   to archive posts instead of deleting them where 90% of posts are auto-archiving
   via [Post Expirator](https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-expirator/) which doesn’t
   support custom post status. The feature has been [requested](https://postexpirator.uservoice.com/forums/176410-general/suggestions/4221183-add-custom-post-status)
   on that plugin, but no ETA yet.
 * I’ll post here if I find an expiration plugin that supports custom post status.
