# WP_cron Issue

 * Hello!
 * I was wondering if there would be a way to make this plugin auto-expire posts
   without using the WP_cron hook? I tried installing and using the Post Expirator
   plugin with the User Submitted Posts plugin but it wasn’t working. The author
   told me that his plugin doesn’t use the cron hook ([https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-post-expiration](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-post-expiration)).
 * It does seem that this plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/electric-studio-auto-expire-post/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/electric-studio-auto-expire-post/))
   works with User Submitted Posts, but I’d prefer to use your plugin for auto-expiration
   if possible as it has been updated more recently.
 * Thanks for any assistance!
