functions - Auto delete post if certain custom field data is empty

admin管理员组

文章数量:1026989

This question can be stupid but I really need a solution for it.. I am generating classified post using cron job. I have some custom filed as well with the cron job like 'source_link'. Sometimes that custom filed data may not be set for error or any kind of situation. So I want that post with empty data for custom field 'source_link' to be deleted automatically. Is this possible anyway ?

Here the code how I do I create post and set custom field data

            kses_remove_filters();
            $new_id = wp_insert_post($post_arr, true);

            kses_init_filters();

            if (is_wp_error($new_id)) {
                $this->write_log("error occurred in wordpress post entry: " . $new_id->get_error_message() . " " . $new_id->get_error_code(), true);
                return;
            }
            update_post_meta($new_id, 'source_link', $url);
