We want to delete old post in easy way, Add the following code to your current themes functions.php file and reload your page and see your post may have been deleted.
<?php
add_action( 'init', 'cxc_get_delete_old_post' );
function cxc_get_delete_old_post() {
// WP_Query arguments
$args = array(
'fields' => 'ids',
'post_type' => 'post', //specify your post type here.
'posts_per_page' => '-1', //fetch all posts,
'date_query' => array(
'column' => 'post_date',
'before' => date( "Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime( '-1 year' ) ), //specify your time here.
)
);
// The Query
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
// The Loop
if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
$query->the_post();
//delete post code
//wp_trash_post( get_the_ID() ); use this function if you have custom post type
wp_delete_post( get_the_ID(), true ); //use this function if you are working with default posts
}
} else {
echo 'no posts found';
return false;
}
die();
// Restore original Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();
}
?>
