The Atropos WordPress Plugin

Download

The Atropos plugin lets you set an expiration date for your posts. This is done in a new Advanced Options section of the post edit page:

Just pick your month and put in the date and year and your post will automatically be deleted at the end of that day. Note that the expired posts are DELETED. Be sure that you want to do this. I disavow any responsibility if you delete your entire blog because you weren’t being careful.
