Enter your Custom Field Key as expiration with a value specified as mm/dd/yyyy 00:00:00

The post will not show after that time stamp.

Hi - I just came across this post and it appears to be exactly what I need to expire my contributor posts. Not being a developer per se, I need to ask your advice: Firstly, my server timestamp is in this format: yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss - what would I need to alter to make the code work? Secondly, it would be very helpful to know where to put the "after loop" code in a multi-loop page. If I put it at the very end of all my loops - then all my content disappears - if I put it elsewhere - the whole page disappears. This looks to be very useful - just need some pointers.......! thanks very much.
