# Automatically Make Posts Private?

 * I’ve started up a webcomic/web-illustrated-storybook with WordPress, using Tyler
   Martin’s Comicpress template. Everything works perfectly, but I can’t seem to
   find any function that will allow my posts to expire after a set period of time
   or on a certain date. I installed the “posts expire” plugin from wunder-ful.com,
   but it doesn’t work.
 * The deal is that I’ve got two categories of content here – pages (the full story)
   and previews (a small bit of the next update’s illustration). I want viewers 
   to be able to scroll straight through the story archives, without being interrupted
   every other post by a preview page. I’m wondering if there’s any way to set a
   post to go from public to private at a set date. Or, alternatively, if there’s
   some way to only display a selected category when users click through the archives.
 * Hopefully this makes sense. My site is [http://www.emmaverse.com](http://www.emmaverse.com)
   if anyone needs clarification on the layout/functionality. Any kind of solution
   would be greatly appreciated!
