Native tribe event delete functions

[Josh Fialkoff]

Hi,
We are looking for information on the native tribe event delete functions.
We want to create a function to delete events in the past.
Can you please cc [email protected] and [email protected] on replies?
Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh.

We cannot CC anyone else’s emails. Forum replies only go to the email address setup in Your Account so you can edit that if needed.

To answer your question, the plugin already provides this functionality at wp-admin > Events > Settings > “Clean up recurring events after ___ months”

If, instead, you’re wanting to delete events that are not part of a recurrence series, here are some ideas that you could further investigate to see if they work for your needs:

• add your own code that leverages wp_delete_post()
• use a plugin from W.org (I’ve heard of Bulk Delete but cannot vouch for it)
• Install our Advanced Post Manager plugin and make it a practice to manually delete events that fall within a certain time period

Please note that if you are going to be deleting posts, you need to be careful to check if they are part of a recurrence series (made up of a parent post with many child posts) because you don’t want to delete the parent post (the series) and make the child posts (each occurrence) orphans.

If you need some coding help, you may want to ask your developer or reference our documentation and list of known customizers.

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!
