Any setting to auto-delete personal messages older than N days?

We want to remove PMs that are over 1 or 2 years old. Is there any setting to auto-delete personal/private messages that are older than a year? Or conversations that are inactive for 1 year?

Hmm. :thinking: I don’t think there’s anything truly automatic currently, but you may be able to utilise the Search + Bulk Actions to do a batch tidy-up?

You’d need a plugin.

What problem are you solving with this?

It’s not straightforward. What do you do with a topic that’s started 5 years ago that has replies yesterday?

Thank you for your replies, pfaffman & JammyDodger.

Is there a plugin? Or it needs to be custom-built?

I’m trying to purge inactive, old conversations - something our compliance team wants us to explore.

If there are ongoing conversations, they remain unaffected. Only conversations that are inactive for over a year.

You’d need a custom plugin.
