PublishPress Future, formerly Post Expirator, schedules actions on individual posts: trash a campaign page on a date, unpublish a webinar, change a category, stick a banner. Configuration lives in a meta box per post. After a year of editorial work, a site easily ends up with dozens of scheduled expirations spread across pages, posts, and custom post types, with no aggregate view of what fires when.

SleekView Charts reads _expiration_date and _expiration_date_options postmeta and joins them with the post, type, author, and configured action. Total upcoming expirations, action distribution as a donut, post-type breakdown as a bar, and a timeline of expirations per week turn scattered meta boxes into a real risk-review dashboard. Filter to the next 14 days and the picture is one screenshot.

Charts and Tables share the same data layer, so a filter applied on the SleekView expiration table (action equals trash, post type equals page) reshapes every chart on the dashboard. The plugin still runs the cron jobs and fires the configured actions. SleekView Charts adds the planning surface the meta box was never meant to provide.

Scheduled actions are powerful and dangerous in equal measure. PublishPress Future will faithfully trash a page or unpublish a post on the date you set, even if that page has, in the meantime, become the most visited content on the site. The default UI is excellent at scheduling and terrible at remembering: each action sits in its own meta box with no relationship to any other action.

A common failure mode on busy sites is a campaign page set to trash six months out, which the team forgets about, which then disappears at the worst possible moment. Aggregate charts surface those decisions while they are still reversible. A timeline of expirations per week shows what fires when.

An action donut flags an over-reliance on trash. A post-type breakdown ranks risk categories. Editorial teams can do a fortnightly triage from the same dashboard, confirm what should still fire, push obsolete actions further out, and cancel the ones that no longer make sense.

The plugin keeps owning the cron and the action layer; SleekView Charts adds the planning surface that turns Future from a quiet liability into a managed schedule.
