[Describe the problem you’re having:]
in a freshly installed instance I’m still toying with I’d like to not amass pointless items, so I set “Purge articles after this number of days (0 - disables)” to = 1
However, posts older than 1 day are not purged. (Updating of feeds looks to be working, new stuff is coming in.) So I’m thinking I must have done something wrong. Maybe a setting in the config php or the like that I missed?
[If possible include steps to reproduce the problem:]
probably a local issue but :
open settings,
set “Purge articles after this number of days (0 - disables)” = 1
save settings
see if stuff older than 1 day disappears as feed updatings proceed.
When tt-rss sees articles still exist in the feed it bumps the import date because otherwise the articles will get purged and reimported periodically causing annoyingly reappearing duplicates.
