Expired events not deleting themselves

Hi @ctplayground,

Have you set up setting inside Event Listing -> Settings ->submission -> ‘Delete Expired listings’?

It will delete events after 30days. Let me know if you have issue with this.

Thank you

Hi Hitesh,

thanks for the fast reply. No I did not have that but, I need the events to be deleted e.g. the day after the event, not 30 days later. Is this not possible?

I actived the “Event Listing -> Settings ->submission -> ‘Delete Expired listing”, but my old events are still there. Do I need to manually delete the old ones now?

Thank you,

Hi @ctplayground,

Expired events are showing on frontend listing?
You can hide the canceled and expired events from settings. For backend let me create small code for you it will delete events after it is expired.

Thank you.

That would be great. Please let me know when you have it done.

Thanks for your effort!

Hi @ctplayground,
This will delete the event after it is expired and modified date has to be less than current date.

add_filter( 'event_manager_delete_expired_events_days', function() { return 0; } );

This is great, thank you. Could you just let me know where exactly this needs to be added? In what php file?

Thanks!

Hi @ctplayground,

You can add this line to your theme’s functions.php file.
I hope it helps. It will check for events every hour so please check after one hour.

Thank you

Hi,

this worked perfectly, thank you very much!

Hello again,

unfortunately I was mistaken, it does not work perfectly: https://www.dmcgermany.de/event-calendar/

The August Events are still shown here.

Any other solutions?

Hi @ctplayground,

Can you contact us here https://www.wp-eventmanager.com/contact/

Thank you

I also want that function, I tried the code and it does not work ?? Did you find another way?

Hi @krlitosqueso ,
You need to add some custom code for that
Our plugin has following filter apply_filters( 'event_manager_delete_expired_events_days', 30 )

If you apply custom filter from your theme’s function file it will work
add_filter( 'event_manager_delete_expired_events_days', function() { return 0; } );

Hi @ctplayground!
That’s a very nice event calendar you got there. I took a peek to see how others are using the plugin. I don’t seem to be able to click any where to view the details for any particular event (past or upcoming). Is this a feature of the plugin?
