Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Menu Expiration Control

Simply edit your menu item and fill in the "Menu Start Date" and "Menu Stop Date" fields. The menu item will only be visible between these dates.

Yes! Version 1.2 adds time control. You can now set exact hours and minutes using the dropdown selectors along with AM/PM selection.

The menu item will appear starting from the start date and remain visible indefinitely until you set a stop date.

If you set times without dates, the plugin will ignore the time settings. Dates are required for the scheduling to work.

The plugin uses your WordPress site's timezone setting (Settings > General > Timezone).

No, you can set just dates if you prefer. If you don't set times: - Start dates begin at 00:00:00 (midnight) - Stop dates end at 23:59:59 (end of day)

Absolutely! This is one of the primary use cases. Set your promo link to appear during your sale period and it will automatically disappear when the promotion ends.

Yes, the plugin works with any WordPress menu system as it filters the menu items at the core WordPress level.
