Description
WP Event Manager is a great plugin — but it does not automatically expire events when they end. This plugin fixes that.
Auto Expire Events for WP Event Manager sets the _event_expiry_date meta field to 1 day after each event’s _event_end_date. If that date has passed, the event is marked as expired.
You can also retroactively apply this logic to existing events via Tools > Fix Event Expiry Dates.
This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by WP Event Manager or its developers.
Installation
- Upload the plugin to your
wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin.
- Use Tools > Fix Event Expiry Dates to process existing events.
- Going forward, events will expire automatically based on their end date.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. It only marks them as “expired” so WP Event Manager hides them from view.
Not yet, but a future version may include a settings screen or filter.
