Ads never clearing...

[robferrari]

I have PhotoPost Classifieds 2.42 and vB 3.7.2. Even when I first installed 2.42 in 2007 the old ads have never been cleared. Is there no maintenance script I’m missing? Users can delete their own add or I can manually delete each ad, but I see no default setting and script to clear old ads. Thanks.

Cron Job: sendnotice.php

Yes there is the cron task you would need to setup on the server or run in your browser to expire old ads.

Thanks, I ran sendnotice.php and it sent emails to ads expiring in 3 days, but it didn't clear any of the old ads out. How does that happen?

it will not clear old ads out automatically unless they are over two weeks old and you visit the admin panel
