Delete Expired TEC Event

[Brandon Hughes]

Hello,

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/remove-events-if-start-date-has-passed/#post-1298182

In this post Barry gave a link to a zip file and I had a couple of questions about it.

Is it hiding the event from showing or completely deleting event?

If the event is being deleted….
will attachments (images) also be deleted, from WP media file?

Thanks
Brandon

Hi Brandon,

It deletes them (by calling wp_delete_post()) and so follows the usual rules in such a situation.

In this case that means the post and postmeta will be deleted (not trashed or hidden – but deleted outright). However, any featured images will not be deleted entirely: they will remain in the media library and the files should remain on the disk.

I hope that clarifies things!
