You can set the feed update time with a simple function. The only need you have to edit your theme’s functions.php. Let’s Begin.

Here is the code;

// delay feed update
function publish_later_on_feed($where) {
	global $wpdb;

	if (is_feed()) {
		// timestamp in WP-format
		$now = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s');

		// value for wait; + device
		$wait = '5'; // integer

		// http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_timestampdiff
		$device = 'MINUTE'; // MINUTE, HOUR, DAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR

		// add SQL-sytax to default $where
		$where .= " AND TIMESTAMPDIFF($device, $wpdb->posts.post_date_gmt, '$now') > $wait ";
	}
	return $where;
}
add_filter('posts_where', 'publish_later_on_feed');

With this code update will wait for 5 minutes. You can chnge this time period. Just change $wait value for this.
That’s All. Have a nice day.

If you want to add an expration date to your posts you have to change your WordPress’ Loop area. This is not delete your posts, only turns to draft. When you change Loop area you will able to add an expration date with custom fileds. This is very simple function/recipe.Firstly you have to change your Loop area. You have to change your theme files for this. Every Loop area must change.

Change your Loop area wtih this code.


         $expirationtime = get_post_custom_values('expiration');
         if (is_array($expirationtime)) {
             $expirestring = implode($expirationtime);
         }

         $secondsbetween = strtotime($expirestring)-time();
         if ( $secondsbetween > 0 ) {
             // For example...
             the_title();
             the_excerpt();
         }
     endwhile;
endif;
?>
