Hello @macdoodle ,

Add below to functions.php file of your theme (or use it in a plugin)
it is a cron job scheduler, which will remove all expired events.

(It will actually make them draft, but there’s commented out line for removing them in case you need)

register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'wojciech_borowicz_mec_cron_job_schedule');
 
function wojciech_borowicz_mec_cron_job_schedule() {
    if (! wp_next_scheduled ( 'wojciech_borowicz_remove_expired_events_cron_job' )) {
    wp_schedule_event(time(), 'daily', 'wojciech_borowicz_remove_expired_events_cron_job');
    }
}
 
add_action('wojciech_borowicz_remove_expired_events_cron_job', 'wojciech_borowicz_remove_expired_events');
 
function wojciech_borowicz_remove_expired_events() {
    $args = array(
    'post_type' => 'mec-events', 
    'orderby' => 'date',
    'order' => 'DESC',
    'posts_per_page'=> '-1', 
    );
    $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
    if( $loop->have_posts() ):
    $today =  date('Y-m-d');
    while( $loop->have_posts() ): $loop->the_post(); global $post;
     
        $endDate = get_post_meta($post->ID, "mec_end_date", true);
        if($today>$endDate && $endDate!=""){
        //wp_delete_post($post->ID);
        $post = array( 'ID' => $post->ID, 'post_status' => "draft" );
        wp_update_post($post);
      }
   
    endwhile;
    endif;
}
