Expiring Events

[Albertus]

This will be an excellent feature, to expire recurring events after the date has passed.
I have 350 entries over 7 days continuously recurring 4 times…Gym class schedule.
The database is huge and the entries in the thousands.

Any solutions?

Hey Albertus,

Ooo, interesting question!

I’m afraid there is no feature to automatically clean up events after they have expired.

That said, if any of the events are set up as recurring events, then you can change the setting to clean up past instances of those events in Events > Settings (screenshot) to help remove some unwanted events in the archive.

There is actually an open thread in our feature request forum that is directly related to this. Would you be willing to add your vote so it gets more attention? That would be greatly appreciated!

If you’re trying to get the number of events down to help with the performance of your site, then I would also recommend checking out the tips offered in this post to help making things run a little faster.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
