Good afternoon, I would like your help, I need to take a post from the air, but I would like to reactivate it regardless of the time it takes, if a year from now I want to publish it again how should I proceed, time all the posts in the recycle bin begin to disappear, the only alternative I found on the internet was to use
define( 'EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS', 365 );
but after 365 it is permanently deleted? and can I use a long period like this, or is there another way to leave the post as a draft?
Just leave the post in draft it will not be deleted, this line:
define( 'EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS', 365 );
It's about clearing the posts that are already in the bin, the draft is not considered bin. I'll leave this link of the documentation about the subject
I believe that EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS is only for deleting, this does not affect "drafts", so I would just remove it from the publication, but if I am wrong I believe that just remove the action wp_schedule_delete , like this:
function my_remove_schedule_delete() {
remove_action( 'wp_scheduled_delete', 'wp_scheduled_delete' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_remove_schedule_delete' );
