Listing expiry comes from the Pricing Manager add-on. Each price package has a lifetime, and every listing on that package gets an expiry date from it. Users cannot choose or change the date in the add listing form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set the package lifetime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Go to Places > Settings > Packages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Edit the package, or add a new one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Set Package Lifetime to 30 and choose Day(s) as the unit. Leave it blank or 0 if listings on this package should never expire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Save the package.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When a listing passes its expiry date it is marked as expired. Understanding “Expired” and “Closed” listings<\/a> explains what visitors and owners see then. The Pricing Manager can also email the owner before the listing expires, so they have a chance to renew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Show the expiry date on the listing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The date is stored in a field called expire_date<\/code>. To show it, add a GD > Post Meta block to the GD Details template page with the key set to expire_date<\/code>, or use the shortcode:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    [gd_post_meta key="expire_date"]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    It shows the date along with the number of days left. It is an admin only field: users do not see it in the add listing form, but you can change it when editing a listing in wp-admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
