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.

I have added the ability to delete posts in batches in v0.6 of the addon. Kindly try it and let me know if it fixes the issue that you were facing.

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.

This error is happening because you using PHP v5.2 or lower?

Anyways I went ahead and added compatibility for PHP v5.2 and released v0.7.1 for the addon with the fix.

Kindly update the addon to v0.7.1 and you should not face this error anymore.

This post title will work for exact match.

The ‘#’ character might cause some issue if you are using “contains” match.

Which comparison are you using?

[SudarKeymaster]

I have identified the issue, fixed it and released an update. Kindly update the addon to v0.7 which fixes this.

You should be able to automatically update the addon from your WordPress plugin page itself.

[SudarKeymaster]

Sorry about that.

Kindly tell me the WordPress and PHP version you are using. I guess there is some compatibility issue.

Randy,

I have released v0.3 of the addon with support for this.

Kindly update to v0.3 and let me know if you need anything more.

Thanks.

Hello Randy,

Sorry about that.

I am currently working on it and will be releasing an update to the addon by this weekend.

Let me know if this is fine with you, otherwise I can offer an refund.

[SudarKeymaster]

The value that is entered in the value field should match the date format entered in the dateformat field.

Change the date to 140511 and it should work.

I set the scheduler, there’s no save button! Just Bulk Delete. I pressed this and the page reloades. The schedule it not set anymore! How do I know it’s working!!!!

When the scheduler is set you should get the success (or error) message on top of the page when the page is reloaded.

You can also see the list of scheduled jobs from Bulk WP -> Scheduled Jobs page.

If it is, then how the hell do I stop it?

The scheduled jobs page that I listed above has an option to delete the schedules if you needed.

If I set a schedule then choose to run a manual Now cleanup, will that reset the schedule?

After you have set a schedule it will keep on running at the scheduled time till you go and delete it from the scheduled jobs page that I mentioned above.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

[SudarKeymaster]

I have fixed the issue and have released v0.5.1 of the plugin with the fix.

You can directly update it from your WordPress dashboard.

Let me know if you face any more issue related to it.

[SudarKeymaster]

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Since WordPress still supports PHP 5.2.4, I try to support it in all my plugins and addons, but since most people use PHP 5.3 or above this issue kind of slipped through.

Will fix this and make a new release in a couple of minutes.

Sorry Dennis, you are correct.

I just realized that we don’t have that option for deleting posts by duplicate title. The reason being the addon has to scan the entire db to figure out duplicate titles.

You said you have about 410,000 posts. Can you also tell me approximately how many duplicate posts would be present?

This addon uses two queries. One to find all posts with duplicate title and one to delete them. I also need to know which one is failing. Will it be possible for you to give me access to your WordPress installation?

[SudarKeymaster]

Glad that its working now.

Marking this thread as resolved. Feel free to post again if you still have any more questions.
