When you change Loop area you will able to add an expration date with custom fileds. This is very simple function/recipe.Firstly you have to change your Loop area. You have to change your theme files for this. Every Loop area must change.
Change your Loop area wtih this code.
<?php
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
$expirationtime = get_post_custom_values('expiration');
if (is_array($expirationtime)) {
$expirestring = implode($expirationtime);
}
$secondsbetween = strtotime($expirestring)-time();
if ( $secondsbetween > 0 ) {
// For example...
the_title();
the_excerpt();
}
