Auto-archive feature?

    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 which doesn’t support custom post status. The feature has been requested on that plugin, but no ETA yet.

    I’ll post here if I find an expiration plugin that supports custom post status.
