    1313== Description ==
    1414
    15 Developed to work with The Events Calendar 3.0, this plugin allows for expired events to be automatically vacuumed up rather than leaving them to clutter up your database.
    16 _If you are still using The Events Calendar 2.x then you should use [this older version of Housekeeper](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/the-events-calendar-housekeeper.1.0.3.zip)_,
    17 noting that it still has some minor bugs and of course remembering that awesome people use the latest and greatest.
     15Developed to work with _The Events Calendar 3.0,_ this plugin allows for expired events to be automatically vacuumed up rather than leaving them to clutter up your database.
    1816
    1917* Configurable: clean up events almost as soon as they have expired or enforce a buffer period of 1 week upto 6 months
     
    2119
    2220By default, the plugin schedules clean-up tasks to run once a day and limits itself to handling a maximum of 100 events at any one time. This can be adjusted programmatically for special cases.

    3637== Frequently Asked Questions ==
    3738
     39= How do I enable garbage collection? =
     40
     41Visit _Events > Settings > Housekeeping_ ... if you can't see this tab then make sure you have activated the plugin, first of all! Remember also that the current version of
     42_Housekeeper_ is built to work with The Events Calendar 3.0. If for example you are using a much older version then it may not work.
     43
     44= I have enabled garbage collection but nothing happens! =
     45
     46Assuming the expiry criteria is being met then this could be a problem where local loopbacks are not allowed within your hosting environment. _Housekeeper_ relies on something called
     47"Scheduled Tasks" so that it can work its magic in the background, as it were. However not all hosting environments are conducive to this. If you think that might be the problem then
     48check in with your hosting provider and/or search for "alternative cron solutions".
     49
    3850= How are recurring events handled? =
     51
    3952Any instances of recurring events meeting the _Expiry Criteria_ are deleted - those instances not meeting the criteria are preserved. This seemed like the most logical way to approach recurring events but any other ideas are welcome.
    4053
    4154= What if the wrong events are deleted? =
     55
    4256That's completely possible for a variety of reasons. First of all, ensure your server and WordPress date/time settings are correct. Second, but more importantly, back-up before you use it and then keep on backing-up, frequently and often.
    4357You _should_ be doing this anyway - and remember! - a back-up is useless unless you know how to restore it.
     
    4761
    4862= Does an event expire after it has started or after it has ended? =
     63
    4964In the eyes of this plugin an event has expired after it has started and this is flagged up in the settings tab. That may not always be ideal - and for those cases you
    5065can adjust the expiry criteria appropriately or just deactivate this plugin.

    5470in mind first of all.

    5774Feel free to post on the support forum, but remember that support is not guaranteed (nor is the plugin) ... after all, it's free.
