When Does WordPress Trash Get Deleted?<\/h2>\n

WordPress will permanently delete posts, pages or comments in the trash after 30 days automatically. So dont worry about accumulating thousands of Trash files.<\/p>\n

How to empty WordPress Trash Daily<\/h2>\n

You can decide when to empty the WordPress trash by adding this code to the wp-config.php<\/strong> file in your WordPress root directory.<\/p>\n

define('EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS', 1 ); <\/code><\/p>\n

The 1 in the code signifies you want to empty the trash everyday. If you use a value like 5, it will empty trash every 5 days. If you set to 0, the trash functionality will be disabled and the ‘Delete Permanently’ button will appear instead of ‘Trash’ button and then you can delete posts and comments permanently without any alert.<\/p>\n

Warning: Remember to always backup wp-config.php<\/em> file before editing it or your blog function may be disrupted.<\/p>\n

Now never click Empty Trash ever again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
