Descrição
SeoCms Post Archival System lets you move old posts and custom post types to a separate archive database, keeping your main WordPress database lean and fast.
Key Features:
- Age-based archival rules — Configure per-post-type rules (e.g., archive posts older than 180 days)
- Custom post type support — Works with any registered post type
- Full data preservation — Archives posts, post meta, and taxonomy relationships
- One-click restore — Restore archived posts back to the main database with all metadata intact
- Scheduled archival — Automate archival via WP-Cron (hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Manual batch runs — Run archival on-demand from the dashboard
- Archive browser — Search, filter, and browse archived posts from the admin panel
- Front-end search — Use the
[seocpoar_search]shortcode to let visitors search archived content - Activity logging — Full audit trail of all archive and restore actions
How It Works:
- Configure a second MySQL database in Settings
- Set up archival rules per post type with age thresholds
- Run archival manually or on a schedule
- Archived posts are moved to the separate database with all their metadata
- Browse and restore archived posts at any time
Shortcode Usage:
Display a searchable archive browser on any page:
[seocpoar_search]
[seocpoar_search per_page="20"]
[seocpoar_search per_page="10" post_type="post"]

Perguntas frequentes
-
Does this delete my posts?
-
By default, yes — posts are removed from the main database after being archived. You can disable this in Settings by unchecking “Delete after archiving”, which keeps posts in both databases.
-
Can I restore archived posts?
-
Yes. Use the Archive Browser in the admin panel or the front-end shortcode to find archived posts, then click “Restore” to bring them back to the main database with all metadata intact.
-
Does it archive comments?
-
Not in the current version. Only posts, post meta, and taxonomy relationships are archived. Comment archival is planned for a future release.
-
Does it work with custom post types?
-
Yes. Any registered public post type can have its own archival rule with a custom age threshold.
-
Can I use it on a multisite network?
-
The plugin works on individual sites within a multisite network. Full multisite support with shared archive databases is planned for a future release.
-
The plugin will return an error message and no posts will be archived or deleted. Your main database is never modified unless the archive operation succeeds first.
-
Is the archive database connection secure?
-
Database credentials are stored in the WordPress options table (same as wp-config.php credentials). Passwords are masked in the admin UI.
