Update 3/8/21. Not working with 5.6.2. Several issues from earlier support tickets
seem to still be unresolved. The time-picker isn’t appearing under the calendar 
picker. Custom Post Types aren’t being expired. I notice that support tickets going
back one year haven’t been answered. Is this plugin being supported?

Upon first installation, the date picker doesn’t work when trying to set the expiry
date. Well, that basically renders this plugin useless. Great idea, but needs to
work properly first.
