Use the frm_auto_delete_entries_batch_size filter to change how many entries are deleted each time the automatic entry cleanup runs. This cleanup removes entries older than the number of days set in Automatically delete entries after, on the GDPR tab of a form's settings.

The cleanup runs every hour and deletes up to 200 entries per run. Anything left over is deleted on the next run.

Requirements

• Formidable Forms Pro 7.0 or later.
• Enable GDPR related features and enhancements turned on in Formidable → Global Settings → General Settings. Nothing is deleted while it's off.
• Automatically delete entries after turned on for at least one form.

Usage

add_filter( 'frm_auto_delete_entries_batch_size', 'my_auto_delete_entries_batch_size' );

Parameters

• $batch_size (int): The maximum number of entries to delete in one run, across all forms. Default 200.

How the batch is shared

The batch is shared between every form with automatic deletion turned on. This way, one form with a large backlog can't hold up the others. Each form gets an equal share, and any share a form doesn't use carries over to the forms after it.

The oldest entries in each form are deleted first.

The limit counts entries only. These items are removed with each entry and don't count toward the batch:

• The entry's repeater entries.
• A post created from the entry. Posts and pages go to the trash, and other post types are deleted permanently.
• Uploaded files, when the file upload field is set to delete files with the entry.

Examples

add_filter( 'frm_auto_delete_entries_batch_size', 'my_auto_delete_entries_batch_size' );
function my_auto_delete_entries_batch_size( $batch_size ) {
	return 1000;
}

add_filter( 'frm_auto_delete_entries_batch_size', '__return_zero' );

Limitations

• The cleanup runs on WordPress cron, which runs when someone visits your site. On a site with little traffic, runs can happen less often than every hour.
• Deleted entries can't be restored.
