Hi!
I’m searching for a solution to auto delete replies after a specific period of time.

Looked at some plugins like auto prune posts, auto post scheduler and the bbpress close old posts git but nothing seems to work for replies only.

Would be really great to find a solution.

Just regular replies or spam posts??

just regular replies

Yeah this is custom development. I suggest you hire a developer if you want something like this.

In this plugin though, it deletes replies by the set hours in the settings. You can edit the code to change the post_status to “publish” instead of “spam”. This might be resource intensive depending on how many replies you have currently on your forums.

@project_subdomain.

Take what I said earlier with a grain of salt, as I don’t really recommend it. Like I said, if you want hire a developer to fix any nooks and crannies that might come up doing this.

thanks @robkk, I’ll take account of this as performance should not suffer.
