Hi there,

If you are creating these posts using Toolset Forms, there is a built-in expiration feature, check this article https://toolset.com/course-lesson/setting-up-automatic-post-expiration/

But, if you are creating the post from the backend or using other means(another plugin's form), you will need a 3rd party plugin or some custom code(using Cron) to change these posts' statuses. Check the following pages:

Thanks.
