WP Event Manager is a great plugin \u2014 but it does not automatically expire events when they end. This plugin fixes that.<\/p>\n\n

Auto Expire Events for WP Event Manager<\/strong> sets the _event_expiry_date<\/code> meta field to 1 day after each event\u2019s _event_end_date<\/code>. If that date has passed, the event is marked as expired<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n

You can also retroactively apply this logic to existing events via Tools > Fix Event Expiry Dates.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by WP Event Manager or its developers.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the plugin to your wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
  3. Use Tools > Fix Event Expiry Dates to process existing events.<\/li>\n
  4. Going forward, events will expire automatically based on their end date.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Will this delete expired events?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. It only marks them as \"expired\" so WP Event Manager hides them from view.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I change the expiration delay?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Not yet, but a future version may include a settings screen or filter.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
