Hi

Post Expirator stores the date for a post in the field "_expiration-date"

But for some reason when setting up a Toolset view this doesn't show up as an option to order or filter the content by?

I tried adding it in "Third-party shortcode arguments" but this didn't make any difference.

How come it isn't showing up?

Cheers

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

To activate the hidden custom field for order by option available in view, you should
go to the Toolset->Settings page and click the Front-end Content tab. Click Select custom fields button in the Hidden custom fields section. In the dialog box that opens, select the "_expiration-date" field from the list and click Apply and refresh your view's edit page and check with order by section. You will be able to see the "_expiration-date" field.

That’s great thanks! I did try to find documentation on this but couldn’t manage to.
