Tell us what you are trying to do?
A custom post type was created for cancellations on a client's website. We want to make these cancellations automatically disappear from the front of the website on the date marked as the cancellation's end date (a custom field and form field) at 6pm.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I attempted to use the following documentation: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/automatic-post-expiration/. This was not successful as there is no way for me to tell the expiration which field to pull the date from. As some cancellations span several days, automatically deleting posts after 6 hours may delete it before the cancellation is over.
Is there a similar example that we can see?
Not that I have found.
Hello,
Please elaborate the question with more details:
This was not successful as there is no way for me to tell the expiration which field to pull the date from
The post expiration date is stored in a hidden post custom field, field slug is "_cred_post_expiration_time", field value is in timestamp format.
You can find it by this:
When Forms creates posts that are set to expire, the expiration time is shown in the post editor, see the document you mentioned above:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/automatic-post-expiration/#post-expiration-settings-in-the-wordpress-post-editor
section "Post Expiration settings in the WordPress post editor", screenshot:
