Overview
Once a day wordpress deletes all trashed items which had been in the trash for more then N days, where N stands for the value of EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS constant which may be defined in wp-config.php file.
This plugin presents a different way to control the number of trashed days. Instead of manually editing wp-config.php which is usually not convenient and somewhat dangerous, you can set the number of days in a settings page.
In addition there is a tool to empty the cache from Items older the a specified number of days.
Usage:
Get to the settings page via the menu “Options” >> “Empty trash”
Get to the delete trash tool page via the menu “Tools” >> “Empty trash”
Network considerations:
