I don’t actively use this plugin as it was developed at the request of other forum members. * Having said that, I will make the necessary modifications to allow this plugin to delete posts from only selected categories. * Give me a day or so to get the new features in.. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Auto Delete Posts] Fatal error in WordPress 2.7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-auto-delete-posts-fatal-error-in-wordpress-27/) * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-auto-delete-posts-fatal-error-in-wordpress-27/#post-948480) * This error has been fixed, and the update should be available shortly if you’re running WP 2.7 or please update manually.. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Auto Delete Posts] Can it be more powerful?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-auto-delete-posts-can-it-be-more-powerful/) * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-auto-delete-posts-can-it-be-more-powerful/#post-725446) * Once the plugin is installed, go to the settings->auto delete posts page and in preview mode, set the the number of days of expiration to 0, this should show all the posts on your site. You will now be given the option to delete all posts now at the bottom of the page. * I believe this should allow you to delete all the posts in one shot. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [post with expiry date (no delete)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-with-expiry-date-no-delete/) * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-with-expiry-date-no-delete/#post-832941) * My apologies, but my webhost had a crash and I lost the blogs and posts..but I’ve since recovered.. * You can grab the auto-delete-posts plugin from WordPress.org itself at [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-delete-posts/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-delete-posts/) * Regards * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Auto-delete-posts plugin (category-specific) for WP2.5.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-delete-posts-plugin-category-specific-for-wp251/) * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-delete-posts-plugin-category-specific-for-wp251/#post-779450) * I just updated the plugin to be compliant with v2.6.1 of WP. I switched out most of the database specific calls to the WP API which should allow it to work with more version of WP. * The new version (0.7) should be up soon. * I’ve got a few other fixes and modifications to make to clean up the code and make it more portable..will tackle that when I have a little bit more time..and also, if there are any specific feature requests while I’m looking to do the work I can roll that in as well.. * Regards * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [API Key](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-15/) * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-15/#post-735572) * Login to [http://wordpress.com](http://wordpress.com) with the account you initially created for the API Key and you will be able to see it there.. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Next/Previous Post Links](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextprevious-post-links/) * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nextprevious-post-links/#post-680351) * The next/previous_post_link functions don’t return any data. They will just echo a next or previous link if one exists, and if not, nothing is echoed. * If you wanted to do the echoing yourself, you would have to modify the WP core code in the /wp-includes/link-template.php file.. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [My Host DEMANDING Removal of WP???](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-host-demanding-removal-of-wp/) * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-host-demanding-removal-of-wp/#post-732688) * Time to switch hosts..majority of shared hosting is most likely used for Blogs these day anyway, and if a host is incapable of supporting that, they’re not worthy of your money.. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Auto Delete Posts] Can it be more powerful?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-auto-delete-posts-can-it-be-more-powerful/) * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-auto-delete-posts-can-it-be-more-powerful/#post-725126) * Mass management of posts/pages is already available from within WP’s admin section. This plugin just automates the process of deleting/moving expired posts for you. * If I misunderstood your question, please clarify and if it’s something that’s of interest, I can surely take a look at implementing it. * Regards * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Simple “write post” page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-write-post-page-1/) * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-write-post-page-1/#post-667923) * Use the [Clutter-Free](http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/clutter-free/) plugin to only show the things you want on the Write page. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Installing WordPress for free](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-wordpress-for-free/) * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-wordpress-for-free/page/2/#post-418643) * Haha, I feel like I’m back in high school.

I only questioned the intention of providing a service that gets people started without a real direction to head in. * Please don’t feel like you are the only one answering questions in the forums, you have been prolific in your posts for as long I’ve been here and might have been “tagged” with a title that indicates your prominence in this forum, but there are many others who provide valuable answers to those who seek answers as best as we can. * Most of those people got there because they probably tried everything themselves, struggled and learned. If that didn’t happen, then there would be less people adept in dealing with all variety of WP questions. * This might be an issue with personalities. I am a Software Engineer by trade and appreciate trying something and in time learning how things work. Others might or might not agree. And I do expect that if I can do something without too much heartache, others should be able to do it as well, or at least give it a damn good try! * But whatever..I think my time in these forums is nearing it’s end, I will continue to use WP for my personal use.. * Regards and Ciao.. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Installing WordPress for free](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-wordpress-for-free/) * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-wordpress-for-free/#post-418329) * I firmly believe in the idea that people should try to do something by themselves and seek any and all help they can get from others who’ve already gone through similar things so that they can learn themselves. * You say you don’t explain the installation process, that you just do it and let it be. In as much as that can be complicated for some, the customization of the blog that inevitably comes after is even more so. And people who don’t have a clue as to the layout of files and things as such will have an extra hard time. * There is nothing wrong is trying something out, stumbling parhaps, seeking help and learning how to get things done. * If you offered a full-fledged service that not only included installation, but installation of themes and plugins and most importantly explained the whole process step by step to your “customer”, then I would say there is a lot of value. * If people just want to blog without having to worry about the intracasies of maintaining their own domain and the software that runs on it, there are enough services out there for that. But when they take the role of being their own webmaster, I just think they should go all the way and not half-ass it. * P.S., and oh I’m not really concerned about whether this is a ratified thing as far as Matt or others go, I’m just more thinking along the lines of “teach them to fish…”, if you know what I mean.. * Regards * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Installing WordPress for free](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-wordpress-for-free/) * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-wordpress-for-free/#post-418267) * In as much as this sounds like a good idea, I think the installation of WP (and just installation) is largely a pain free process and a good one for any budding blogger/web-admin to do themselves. * For the fact that you don’t disclose any names of the “volunteers”, it is hard for anyone to feel safe to give you their login information. * My $0.02. * Regards Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 968 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/replies/page/3/?output_format=md)… [63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/replies/page/63/?output_format=md) [64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/replies/page/64/?output_format=md) [65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/replies/page/65/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
