Number of Maximum Posts Deleted

[Andrew HarknessParticipant]

Hi Sudar,

I don’t seem to be able to delete more than 500 posts in one go. This impacts both the usual bulk delete function and the Scheduler for Deleting Posts by Post Type, which I recently purchased. I think it may be something to do with server settings:

PHP Version: 5.5.32
MySQL Version: 5.1.73
Web Server Info: Apache

WordPress Memory Limit: 40M
WordPress Max Limit: 256M

DISABLE_WP_CRON: Not set
WP_CRON_LOCK_TIMEOUT: 60
EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS: 30

PHP Safe Mode: No

I increase max_input_time and max_execution_time to 900 and this seemed to resolve things!

Hello Andrew,

Glad to know that you got your issue resolved.

Yes, increasing the max_execution_time would allow you to delete more posts.
