WP Coredo Events Management Plugin

The WP Coredo Events Management Plugin is a custom WordPress plugin for event management. It allows users to create events, store metadata (such as start and end dates), and automatically delete outdated events based on their expiry date. The plugin uses WordPress Cron Jobs to schedule automatic deletions, ensuring that expired events are removed efficiently without manual intervention. Additionally, an admin option allows for manual deletion of outdated events.

Architecture & Delivery

The plugin registers a custom post type named “Events” (events).
This allows users to create, edit, and manage events like regular WordPress posts.
Supports metadata fields for event start and end dates.
When an event is created or updated, the event start date (_event_start_date) and event end date (_event_end_date) are stored as post meta fields.
These dates determine when an event is considered expired.
A scheduled cron job (wpcoredo_schedule_event_cleanup()) is registered to run daily.
This cron job triggers the function wpcoredo_delete_outdated_events(), which:
Fetches all events where the end date is in the past.
Deletes these outdated events.
If the cron job is not already scheduled, it is set up upon plugin activation.

Built with architecture discipline, user-focused workflows and long-term maintainability in mind.
