<p>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.</p>
<p>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.<br />
In addition there is a tool to empty the cache from Items older the a specified number of days.</p>
<p>Usage:<br />
Get to the settings page via the menu “Options” >> “Empty trash”<br />
Get to the delete trash tool page via the menu “Tools” >> “Empty trash”</p>
<p>Network considerations:<br />
The plugin was not tested in a network installation, but it should work gibing the individual site admin a control over his trash which is possibly different then other sites on the network.<br />
The plugin do not have network wide settings</p>
<p>Important:<br />
For better or worse the plugin employs <strong>exactly</strong> the same deleting algorithm used by the wordpress version running the site.</p>
<p>Limitations:<br />
The plugin will not be able to function well if you have EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS set in your wp-confing.php</p>
