I think for your purpose wp_untrash_post_status filter will be enough. Will work with single and multiple posts restore. Filters the status that a post gets assigned when it is restored from the trash (untrashed). add_filter( ‘wp_untrash_post_status’, ‘change_untrash_post_status’); function change_untrash_post_status($status){ return ‘pending’; } P.S. apply_filtershook is used to call callback functions created by us, like a … Read more
When deleting a user, WordPress displays a warning that unless you attribute the user’s posts to a new user, it’s posts will be deleted and you cannot undo those deletions. That means the only way to restore the posts and media is to restore a backup of the WordPress instance or database which you hopefully … Read more
First of all you have to deny access to trash page in admin. To show trash, the ‘post_status’ argument for main query must be ‘trash’, so you can check that and redirect if current user is not an administrator: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘deny_trash_access’ ); function deny_trash_access( $query ) { // nothing to do if not in … Read more
its a little clumsy but you could combine what you are already doing with the ‘untrashed_post’ hook which fires after the post has been untrashed here are the rough steps: use ‘untrash_post’ hook to do your checking (like you are now) if you need to cancel the untrash, store a flag in post meta with … Read more
If you don’t have any posts in the Trash, then there won’t be a link to go and see them. What would be the point of displaying a link to an empty page, after all? The link to Trashed posts appears on the All Posts screen at the top, right alongside All | Published | … Read more
I would discourage using raw SQL for moving a post to a trash or back, especially since there’s a build in function for it: wp_trash_post( $post_id ); More about the wp_trash_post() function. The opposite is: wp_untrash_post( $post_id ); wp_untrash_post() also untrashes trashed comments. In WP there are functions for many things – for instance you … Read more
You can try using the function get_attached_media() like this: add_action( ‘before_delete_post’, ‘wps_remove_attachment_with_post’, 10 ); function wps_remove_attachment_with_post( $post_id ) { /** @var WP_Post[] $images */ $images = get_attached_media( ‘image’, $post_id ); foreach ( $images as $image ) { wp_delete_attachment( $image->ID, true ); } } Note that this will permanently delete all the image files related to … Read more
If you wanted to do this for all post types, you’d simply do define(‘EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS’, 0); see https://codex.wordpress.org/Trash_status#EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS_option. But since you only want to do this for a custom post type, you will need to hook into ‘trashed_post’ like this: add_action(‘trashed_post’, function( $post_id ){ […] then check your trashed posts’ post type: if ( get_post_type($post_id) === … Read more
Do you have backups of your database? If not, ask your hosting provider if they have backup copies of your database from the time before the posts were deleted.
When post is trashed, WP creates a meta field named _wp_trash_meta_time and it saves trashed time in that field. You can use that field to get trash time. Edit: Example: $args = array( ‘post_status’ => ‘trash’, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘nopaging’ => TRUE, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘_wp_trash_meta_time’, ‘value’ => array( strtotime(“last week”), date(‘U’) … Read more
