    Hi, I’ve created a custom status for reservations (https://wp-event-organiser.com/forums/topic/add-custom-booking-status/) so that I can remove them from the list displayed on the administration screen when they’ve “passed” (the recurring event has passed). Is it possible to create a Cron (or other) task so that every day the system scans the reservations and automatically changes the status when the event date has passed?

    Hi Fernand,

    Yes, WordPress provides a psuedo-cron interface (you can alternatively configure a cron task on the server) which while it doesn’t guarantee timings for the task being executed, will probably be good enough for your use case. The official documentation for configuring a cron task can be found here: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/cron/
