Thank you for this information! It helped me out a lot and appears to work perfectly.
Glad to know that you got it working.
Is it possible to schedule deletions of these types?
Yes. But there is one caveat.
So if I wanted to schedule the plugin to delete event posts older than 30 days from the _EventEndDate key (not the published date), how would that be done?
The caveat is that in the values textbox you have to enter a date and it can’t be calculated dynamically.
Adding the ability to input the date dynamically might increase the complexity of this addon. I am planning to create a separate addon for “The Events Calendar” plugin itself with this feature.
I will let you know once I release that addon.

Hello Aaron,
Yes, you are on right track.
In the “Delete Posts by Custom Field” module, you have to enter the following information to delete events based on their end date.
– Post Type – Select “tribe_events”
– Key – _EventEndDate
– Dropdown – less than (date)
– Value – Date in this format YYYY-MM-DD (eg: 2016-02-23)
– Date Format – EmptyI have also attached a screenshot with these values.
Please note that you need to have v0.8 of the “Bulk Delete Posts by Custom Field” addon. It was released just today.
The earlier versions of the addon had some compatibility issue with “The Events Calendar” plugin.
Let me know if you face any issues with it.

Hello Victor,
Looks like your server is not able to handle the load. This is not the problem with the plugin or WordPress, but it is just your server is not able to handle the volume of posts.
You have two options now.
1) Increase the amount of memory available to your server. You may have to contact your web host to do it.
2) The other option is to restrict the number of posts that get’s deleted. Since you are using the “Delete from trash” module, you can tweak the post date, so that the number of posts that gets deleted is reduced. -
Hello Victor,
WordPress Memory Limit: 40M
WordPress Max Limit: 256M
PHP Memory Limit: 256MLooks like WordPress is allocated only 40MB of memory, while PHP has about 256MB of memory.
Add the following line in your wp-config.php file to increase the amount of memory allocated to WordPress to 256MB
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' ); -
Hello Victor,
Looks like your server is running out of memory.
Kindly post your system info and I will let you know what would be the best way to overcome it.
You can get the system info by going to Bulk WP -> System Info menu.

Hello Matt,
Sure. I have started working on it and will let you know once I am done.
By the way, thank you for your quick replies. I don’t know how many WordPress plugin support forums I’ve been to where they don’t even answer my posted questions.
Not a problem. Also apologies for not getting back to you earlier for the first reply. I was out for the weekend and it took me sometime to get back to you.

Hello Andrew,
Glad to know that you got your issue resolved.
Yes, increasing the max_execution_time would allow you to delete more posts.

Hello Matt,
Thanks for letting me know. I will increase the priority for this feature and will try to see if I can make a release with only this feature instead of waiting to complete all the features that are planned for the next release.
Once the feature is done, you would be able to automatically delete users (based on a cron job) x days after they register, where x is configurable.
While it deletes the users it will also delete all meta data associated for that user in the wp_usermeta table.
Once question though. Do you also want to delete the blog that they have created?
-
Once the above feature is implemented, then you would be able to delete users x days after they register in a multisite.
To delete them automatically (ie: using a schedule, instead of manually deleting) you may have to buy the scheduler addon.
Let me know how critical this feature is for you. Based on that I can set the priority for this ticket.
-
Right now this plugin doesn’t support deleting users based on user meta in multisite.
It is there in my todo list and I am planning to add support for it in next release which will be released in a couple of weeks.
You can track the progress on the todo at https://github.com/sudar/bulk-delete/issues/121
If this feature is really important for you, then I can increase the priority on it.
PS: I was out this past weekend and so was not able to get back to you earlier.

works like a charm !! Thank you.
Nice to know that you got it working.
there is any way to know how many time takes to delete all the post ?
Right now there is no easy way to see how many times the job has run. But if you go to Bulk WP -> Scheduled Jobs screen then you can see when it will be next run.
You can also buy the Schedule Email addon that will send an email every time the scheduler is run.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

It will delete 100 in a single batch.
After you select this option you have to schedule the batch. To schedule the batch select the “Schedule” radio button and then pick the start time and the frequency at which you want the batch to repeat.
If the dropdown doesn’t display a schedule that you like, then you can create your own schedule using the wp-crontrol plugin available at https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/

Hello Alvaro,
Check the “Only delete x posts” checkbox and then enter a number like 100 or 200 in the textbox.
This will delete only the number of posts that you have entered each time it is invoked thereby preventing timeouts.

Hello Thomas,
Glad to know that you got it working 🙂

Hello Thomas,
Thanks for sending the system info. It looks like you don’t have the “Bulk Delete From Trash” addon installed.
What happens when you try to install it using the instructions from http://bulkwp.com/docs/installing-addon/ instead of uploading it though FTP?
