 * Im running into a bit of an issue with the plugin, i have been the plugin with
   no issues on the website and it has worked flawlessly until recently. 
   – I am
   setting the date to delete.– Tried removing the plugin and re-adding.– Adding
   an exception to the Cache.– Created test posts and let it reach the expiry date
   to no avail..Would you have any support on this?

 * Hi [@pmcc1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pmcc1/) ,
 * Apologies for the delayed response and thank you for your patience.
 * I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having issues with the plugin. Since it was previously
   working, this usually happens due to one of the following:
    1. **Plugin or WordPress updates** — sometimes updates change behavior.
    2. **Caching** — server or plugin caching may prevent the delete action from triggering.
    3. **Date / Time settings** — ensure your site’s timezone and post expiration date
       are correct.
    4. **Plugin version** — the latest plugin version (1.1.6) includes fixes related
       to class loading and scheduling.
 * **Recommended steps:**
    1. Update the plugin to the latest version.
    2. Clear all caches (browser, site, server).
    3. Test with a simple post set to expire soon.
    4. Temporarily deactivate other plugins that may interfere with scheduling.
 * If the issue continues, you can provide **screenshots of your settings** or enable**
   WP_DEBUG** to check for errors.
 * For security reasons, we cannot request login credentials in the forum, but we’ll
   guide you step by step using these troubleshooting steps.
 * Thank you again for using Auto Delete Post!
 * Best regards,
   **Shahadat Hossain**
