LukaCodes Content Expiry Shortcode

Have you ever published a limited-time offer, an event announcement, or a seasonal promotion — and then forgotten to take it down?

LukaCodes Content Expiry Shortcode solves this in the simplest way possible. Wrap your content with the [lcexp] shortcode, set a deadline, and it disappears automatically when the time comes. No reminders, no manual editing, no stress.

Usage:

[lcexp "30-06-2026 23:59"]This offer ends June 30th![/lcexp]

Once the deadline passes, the content is automatically replaced with a clean expiry message. No broken layouts, no empty spaces.

• DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM — expires at exact time
• DD-MM-YYYY — expires at midnight
