Hi, I am using your Auto-Prune plugin which is working great even though it has not been updated recently, so I am not sure if you are actively supporting it. I would be happy to buy you multiple cups of coffee if you could add a way exclude by tag, while including by category. We have a tag for “ongoing” which is applied to posts that should never be auto-purged, so I modified the query in your plugin as follows:
// Do only the last 50 (by date, for 1 cat)
$myposts = get_posts('category=' . $cat_id.'&tag__not_in => array(3194)&post_type='.$the_type.'&numberposts='.$this->conf['settings']['max_reads_in_run']. '&order=ASC&orderby=post_date');
which is probably totally wrong as I am not a coder ;-( Is there a better way to do this? I’d be happy to offer you $50 USD in order to make this change to the plugin so this could be set in the admin… Thanks for your help and thanks for writing the plugin!

I see it’s possible to add other post types, does this include WooCommerce “Products”?
I’ve tried entering “products” as the type , but after I don’t see any way to choose a category.
Plugin is not compatible with PHP 8.0+. Site crash resolved when plugin was deactivated.
]]>Hey Ramon,
Awesome plugin! I’m intending to use this on a site with 79,000+ posts (yes, really) and my client doesn’t want to delete nor change the post_status to be trash but instead set it to draft.
I’ve poked around in the plugin code but couldn’t see an obvious way to set the status. Is there a function I can add to my theme or a line number in the plugin files you can point me to in order to control the post.
Many thanks in advance for your guidance. Cheers!
]]>What about the feature image or media attachments to the post .. does it be deleted too?

]]>Hi,
I have added minute into the array in the php, but when I set the requirement to delete posts after 5 minute(s), the posts are not deleted. Only when I purposely change the date to old dates, then it will work. Please help.
]]>I’ve used this plugin for quite a while and it has been great. I would like to offer a suggested enhancement. I am displaying 6 events for my church. The events are added randomly so some may happen 2 weeks from now and some 1 or 2 months from now. Is there anyway to set an expiration date for a post per that specific post and not per category? This would drastically reduce the manual labor of updating posts.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi – thanks for useful plugin
I’m too lazy to test this – so… if we set Parent Category for deletion will Subcategory posts also get deleted?
regards,

]]>I have ton of categories to add for use with the Auto Prune Plugin but cannot use the all setting since not all of my categories can be pruned by a time setting. Is there a quick way to add a few hundred categories to work with the plugin rather than having to do each manually from the plugin admin screen?
]]>Is there a way to delete based on tag rather than category?
]]>For example, if you create a post on October 27th but then you schedule the post for November 27th. If the plugin is set to delete posts that are 1 month old, will it delete the post before it gets published? Or will it calculate 1 month from the publish date?
]]>This plugin is exactly what I need, however when testing I set the posts to expire in 1 hour and instead they are expiring in 1 minute!

]]>Is it possible to delete only those posts which don’t have any comments.
Because deletion of a commented post might not be good.
