Thank you for the reply @robin-w 🙂
When I select PHP cron event, should I enter the code in there and delete the snippet? Because when I click PHP cron event, a code editor will open.
Thank you @robin-w!
But what should I enter specifically?
Event type: PHP cron event
Hook name: bbpress_topic_scheduler, bbpress_daily_event, or bbpress_close_old_topics?
arguments: ?
next run: now, tomorrow, a specific time
repeat: once, hourly, twicedaily, daily or weekly?
I just want to make sure I do everything right
Thank you again @robin-w!
Well, the action isn’t even listed under cron events whatsoever.
Should I add the action manually?
Hey @robin-w,
thanks for your reply.
I changed the code right away after you sent the reply.
But it still does not work and I’m note sure why.
Hello!
I used the code from @robin-w and pasted it into a code snippet but it does not seem to work. That is my code:
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'bbpress_topic_scheduler');
add_action('bbpress_daily_event', 'bbpress_close_old_topics');
function bbpress_topic_scheduler() {
wp_schedule_event(time(), 'daily', 'bbpress_daily_event');
}
function bbpress_close_old_topics() {
// Auto close old topics
$topics_query = array(
'author' => 0,
'show_stickies' => false,
'parent_forum' => 'any',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1
);
if ( bbp_has_topics( $topics_query ) )
while( bbp_topics() ) {
bbp_the_topic();
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
$topic_date = strtotime( get_post( $topic_id, 'post_date', true ) );
$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($topic_id);
if ($topic_date < strtotime( '-2 hours') ) // && $forum_id == 1276 )
bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );
}
}
The auto close time is set to 2 hours to test it and I created a comment after 2 hours because it should happen in every forum.
Have I done anything wrong? Thanks in advance! 🙂
