Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Auto Delete Post – Ultimate plugin for deleting a post automatically

Yes

Yes, you can select which post types should have the auto-deletion functionality available via the plugin's Settings page under the "Auto Delete Posts" menu.

You can choose whether posts should be moved to trash or permanently deleted when the scheduled time arrives. This is configured in the plugin's Settings page.

Yes, you can use the quick edit functionality on the posts list page to set deletion times for multiple posts quickly.

Yes, you can cancel an auto-deletion by removing the scheduled time from the post's edit screen or clearing the field in quick edit.

Yes, you can set a specific post or page for post redirection when user tries to visit deleted post/page.

Yes, enable the "Delete Attached Media" option in settings. When a post is permanently deleted, its attached media files (featured image and any files attached to that post, of any file type) will also be deleted — but only if they aren't still in use by another post, page, or public post type.

Enabling "User Cleanup" in the plugin settings lets the plugin automatically delete users who haven't logged in for a number of days you specify. You can set the inactivity threshold in days, and choose which user role(s) the cleanup should target, so other roles are left untouched.

Before a user is deleted, the plugin reassigns any posts they authored to the current admin account, so their content stays on the site instead of being removed or left without an author.
