Not working

Hello Harry,

The following is the brief explanation of the different options.

Should I check Only restrict to posts?

Use this option if you want to delete posts based on published date. If you don’t care about when the post was published then you don’t have to choose this option.

or should I check Only delete first?

Check this option if you want to delete only the first x number of posts. This will be useful if you have huge number of posts to delete and your server is running out of memory. If the number of posts that you want to delete is less or if you are not facing any issues with your server then you don’t have to choose this option.

should I put NOW on Schedule box?

The scheduler will run based on the date and time that you specify in this field. If you specify “NOW” then the scheduler will run immediately. If you choose some other date and time then the scheduler will run at that time.

Hope that explains most of the functionality. Let me know on what condition you want to delete posts and I will let you know how you can setup the different options.

1. I picked a category which have 36 posts.
2. I checked “delete permanetly” and “public posts”.
3. I checked “only delete first 3 posts”.
4. I checked schedule “now” and “Don’t repeat”
-> But it is not working. Not deleted at all.

I tried schedule “dd/mm/year hh:mm:ss” repeat one time per hour.
-> But it is not working.

I tried many configuration set, but it is not deleted according to schedule.

When I see “Scheduled Jobs” menu, there is the job.
But, next due date is not changing. (ex. when I choosed repeat one time per hour)

I am using wordpress v4.0.

Please propose the solution.

Hello Harry,

Is wp cron disabled in your server? You can find out whether it is disabled or not from the system information screen. You can access it from Bulk WP -> System Information.

Kindly save the system information details in a text file and attach it here. I will have a look at it and will help you to debug the issue.

You can also mark the reply as private so that only both of use can view it.

Yes, it was disabled.

When I changed the setting like below, it worked.
define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, false);

I did not know CRON function.

Thanks for your support.
