Regal Send log retention

Updated September 20, 2026

Regal Send log retention controls how long email log records are kept before the scheduled cleanup removes them. It applies to the logs and retained attachment copies created by Regal Send.

Set Regal Send log retention#

1. Open Regal Send → Settings.
2. Find the Email logging section.
3. Choose a retention period, from one day to one year, or select Forever.
4. Select Save settings.

How scheduled cleanup works#

Regal Send runs a daily background cleanup. It removes eligible records in batches of up to 250, including their encrypted Full Logging attachment copies. If more records remain, Regal Send schedules a short follow-up batch instead of performing an unbounded deletion in one request.

Important retention checks#

• Changing the retention setting does not immediately delete all older records. They are removed by the next eligible scheduled cleanup.
• Choosing Forever prevents automatic retention cleanup.
• Manual deletion in Email Logs remains available for individual or selected records.
• Full Logging content and attachment copies are removed with their matching log record.

If cleanup has not run#

WordPress scheduled tasks depend on site traffic unless your hosting provides a reliable cron trigger. Check that WordPress cron is available, then allow the next scheduled run to complete. The WordPress cron documentation explains how scheduled events are triggered.
