Here is an example of how you could create a custom WordPress plugin called "Big Daddy Media" that deletes images older than one year from the media library:
1. Create a new folder in the `wp-content/plugins` directory and name it `big-daddy-media`.
2. Create a new file in this folder and name it `big-daddy-media.php`. This file will contain the main code for your plugin.
3. At the top of the `big-daddy-media.php` file, add the plugin header information:
Copy code
` 'attachment', 'post_status' => 'inherit', 'date_query' => array( array( 'before' => '1 year ago', ), ), ) ); // delete the images from the media library foreach ( $older_than_one_year->posts as $image ) { $deleted = wp_delete_attachment( $image->ID, true ); if ( $deleted ) { // log the full URL of the deleted image error_log( wp_get_attachment_url( $image->ID ) ); } } }`
7. Use the `add_action` function to register the `admin_menu` action, which will be used to add a custom admin screen for your plugin. In the callback function for this action, use the `add_management_page` function to add a new menu item to the "Tools" menu in the WordPress admin dashboard.
Copy code
`add_action('admin_menu',`
