Reliable way to delete old posts

By mquiggeorgia on August 21, 2024

This plugin works well to automatically delete old posts on a schedule. We use it to remove everything 2 years old and over to keep website from getting bogged down with stale posts. Thank you!

Works fine on WP 6.1.1

By Bat n Ball on December 6, 2022

I realise this plugin hasn't been updated for a while but I just wanted to say it's great and works well on the most recent version of WordPress. At the time of writing, that was 6.1.1 Cheers 👍

Throws errors on activation.

By kenrichman on October 7, 2019

Needs to be updated; too many errors thrown. Hopefully this will be attended to as it's a really useful plugin otherwise.

When I install the plugin I get this error:
Postman: wp_mail has been declared by another plugin or theme, so you won't be able to use Postman until the conflict is resolved.
