 * is there a way to deactivate users automatically after for example a certain 
   amount of time..? i’m mainly curious on how i can override the meta_value in 
   the database through an automated function rather than having to do it manually.
   thanks.

    <?php update_user_meta( $user_id, $meta_key, $meta_value,
   $prev_value ) ?>
