How do I programatically empty trash?

I need to create an “Empty Trash” button inside my plugin. How would I do it using PHP code? 2 s 2 You can use wp_delete_post. To get all posts with the “trash” status: $trash = get_posts(‘post_status=trash&numberposts=-1’); Then: foreach($trash as $post) wp_delete_post($post->ID, $bypass_trash = true);
