## Descripción

Auto deletes expires (prunes) posts or pages after a certain amount of time. On 
a per category basis (single category, or all at once).
 Handy if you want to have
posts with a limited timeframe such as offers, coupons etc.. Posts will auto delete
on a per category basis: single category OR all categories at once. All (custom)
post types are supported. (CPT support) Will also trash post attachments. Sends 
notification to site admin (can be turned off). No cronjob needed 🙂

This plugin works well to automatically delete old posts on a schedule. We use it
to remove everything 2 years old and over to keep website from getting bogged down
with stale posts. Thank you!

I realise this plugin hasn’t been updated for a while but I just wanted to say it’s
great and works well on the most recent version of WordPress. At the time of writing,
that was 6.1.1 Cheers 👍

Needs to be updated; too many errors thrown. Hopefully this will be attended to 
as it’s a really useful plugin otherwise.
