The recent release of WordPress 2.9 brought a great new feature: the trash. Now users have a way to recover deleted posts and comments. By default, WordPress empties the trash every 30 days.
If you’d like to change how often the trashed information is removed, simply open up wp-config.php and define the following constant:
define('EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS', 15 ); // 15 days
Just change 15 to the frequency in days that you want WordPress to empty the trash. It’s that simple!

January 27, 20106:29 pmNice feature, I think it's always good to have control and know exactly when the trash is emptied, just in case you need to recover something.

February 1, 20107:30 amIt is a very useful content,i had bookmarded your post.Here is some information for cheap discount coupons.It is a fact that cigarette smoking is injurious to health but if you go with reputed brand like Marlboro then the harm is less as compared to harm which other cheap and harmful cigarettes can do. It is so because Marlboro’s quality standards are high and it uses the right nicotine content and menthol which gives the real pleasure of smoking. In addition with the help of discount coupons you can even buy them very cheap.

March 9, 20108:04 pmThat's awesome, but I mark all spam comments as spam instead of deleting them, so I always have them around… and I never delete posts.
