Auto-delete featured image after a number of days

[AndreeaCristinaRadacina]

What problem does this address?

A user asked if we can create a new option for the auto-deleting feature imaged after a certain period because they occupy a lot of space.

What is your proposed solution?

Within the general feed settings inside the import, under Auto-Delete, consider adding a new section where users can specify the number of days before the featured image of the posts from that particular import is automatically deleted. Similarly, this setting can be implemented in Feedzy > Settings, providing users with the flexibility to configure this globally or on an individual basis per import.

We can also have a similar approach as we have in Visualizer - https://s3.amazonaws.com/helpscout.net/docs/assets/55192029e4b0221aadf23f55/images/61606f5312c07c18afddbb79/file-FqGbpe8kvS.png

Will this feature require documentation? (Optional)

Yes, it requires documentation.

@AndreeaCristinaRadacina,

We won't be implementing this now as I don't see this as a feature many would benefit from (because it's not fine to have missing images even for older posts, IMO) but you can suggest user the external image URL function:

"If I can suggest some details on this feature-request: maybe a checkbox that states something like Also remove media associated with deleted posts. It is a simple on/off checkbox that will also trigger imported media removal. A security check that might be performed before actually deleting the media is confirming it is associated solely with the post being deleted (since it is added to the media library, it is possible someone in the meantime associated the imported media with another post)."
