Hello Mark,

Looks like the “Facebook Events Importer” plugin is creating a custom post type to store the events.

While deleting the posts did you choose ‘facebook events’ as the post type?

Please send me the screenshot of all the options that you choose while trying to delete the posts.

Also please post the screenshot of the row in the wp_postmeta table in your database that has the meta_key ‘event_ends’.

I will try my best to resolve this issue for you.

Hello Vadim,

Finally I was able to log into your server.

I am able to replicate the exact issue that you are facing in your server but I am not able to replicate it in my dev servers.

I am not sure if it is because of the different plugins that you are using or because of the different language that you are using in the dashboard.

Please check your PHP error log to see if there are any error log entries. If yes then let me know and I can try to fix the issue.

If you have access to another WordPress install then please try out the add-on there as well to see if you are able to replicate the issue there as well.

Hello Mark,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

I assumed you were using the ‘The Events Calendar’ plugin.

Please let me know which plugin you are using for creating events so that I can get you the exact steps.

Hello Mark,

In the “Delete Posts by Custom Field” module, select the following options.

– ‘event_ends’ as meta key
– “less than (date)” as comparison operator
– today’s date 2017-07-02
– The following as the format YYYY-MM-DD

Hello Vadim,

I am not able to login since I can’t translate the captcha in the login screen.

Let me know what is the language the captcha is in and I will try to use Google translate.

Hello Scott,

The key is the value that is displayed in the meta_key column of the post_meta table.

Hello Dan,

Yes it is possible.

Please following the instructions at https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/cron/hooking-into-the-system-task-scheduler/ to manually trigger wp-cron.

Once the wp-cron is triggered using the above instructions, our plugin will get triggered and will do its job.

Hello Claretha,

As you figured out the event date is stored in a meta key. So what you are doing by selecting _EventEndDate is correct.

However right now you have to give an explicit date in the value field.

We are however working on a feature that would make it possible to set expressions like ‘2 days ago’. But right now it is still work in progress.

Hello Vadim,

Would it be possible to give me access to your WordPress admin?

Hello Vadim,

Please check whether WordPress Cron is disabled in your WordPress install.

Some web hosts disable WP Cron. Where is your site hosted?

Hello Peter,

Thanks for your interest in the add-on.

The Bulk Delete Posts by Custom Field add-on can delete posts based on a date in the custom field, but right now you have to hard-code the date.

Providing dynamic dates (like today, yesterday etc) is in our todo list and will be implemented soon.

Hello Stelios,

Thanks for your interest in my plugin and add-on.

Yes, it is possible to delete the posts based on any schedule that you want.

By default my add-ons display the list of cron schedules that are available in WordPress. A new schedule can be very easily added using the free WP Crontrol plugin.

We also have instructions for adding new cron schedules to WordPress using the WP Crontrol plugin.

Hello Dallas,

Thanks for giving me information. I was able to trace the issue to a bug in the plugin which I just fixed and released.

Please updated Bulk Delete to v5.5.5 which fixes the issue that you were facing.

[SudarKeymaster]

Okay, the contact messages are definitely older than a day.

Can you also send me the System Info? You can find it from Bulk WP -> System Info.

[SudarKeymaster]

Thanks for the screenshot.

Looks like you are deleting all contact messages that are older than a day. What is the date in the contact messages?

Can you post a screenshot of the first page of contact messages?
