Title: Posts Not Expiring Last modified: December 26, 2017 --- # Posts Not Expiring * [Lee Media Group](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leemediagroup/) * (@leemediagroup) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-expiring-6/) * Over the last month, we have noticed that none of our posts are expiring. I have debugging turned on, and it looks like things are being scheduled, but they do not expire unless we manually go in and edit the posts after the expiration date has passed: * ``` 2017-12-26

Currently, no posts are expiring manually, so we would like to get this fixed ASAP. * [Paal Joachim Romdahl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paaljoachim/) * (@paaljoachim) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-expiring-6/#post-9904342) * Well it seems an option is to test out: [https://wisdmlabs.com/blog/product-availability-expiry-dates-woocommerce/](https://wisdmlabs.com/blog/product-availability-expiry-dates-woocommerce/) It costs $24 for a single site. * Btw I noticed the time used is in UTC mode as in English time. For me I had to rethink when they would expire based on the UTC time mode. * [al3ssandro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/al3ssandro/) * (@al3ssandro) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-expiring-6/#post-9926823) * Post dont expire. I’m running wordpress 4.8.4 Divi theme WP-Cron Status: ENABLED– OK php 7.2 What should i do? * [Paal Joachim Romdahl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paaljoachim/) * (@paaljoachim) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-expiring-6/#post-9927364) * Hey [@al3ssandro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/al3ssandro/) * Try with the default theme and deactivate all plugins except the Post Expirator. See if that works and that posts expire. I selected draft. Btw the time listed is probably not your local time as it uses UTC time [https://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx](https://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx) IF the default theme works with no other plugins activated then there might be something wrong with the theme your using or another plugin. Then activate one plugin at a time and see if it stops working. * [al3ssandro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/al3ssandro/) * (@al3ssandro) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-expiring-6/#post-9943908) * Hello, i tryed but no success, the post stay on site and don’t expire. I run the test whit this configuration: Theme Twenty Seventeen Versione: 1.4 no other plugin but post expirator Versione 2.3.1.1 WP-Cron Status: ENABLED – OK any other suggestions? thank a lot! * [Paal Joachim Romdahl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paaljoachim/) * (@paaljoachim) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-expiring-6/#post-9957009) * Right click somewhere in the browser window and select Inspect (Element) and then select Console to see if there are any JavaScript errors that show up. If you notice any errors in red then paste a few of the top error codes into a search bar and do a search on the web to see if there are any solutions for it that might show up. As there might be a javascript conflict going on.
