User + Category + Time

[Adam BeecherParticipant]

Hi, is it possible to combine the category and user procedures somehow? This is for a multisite and I bought the user addon as this will be fine for most sites, but one particular site needs to leave 5 categories intact and I don’t see a way of doing that.

Thanks,
Adam

Actually this isn’t going to work for me, with the timeout raised to 300s on the server I’m only getting 500 posts deleted at a time. With 34,000 posts to delete on just one site, I’d be at this for weeks. Any chance of a refund? I only bought it an hour ago. 🙂

Hello Adami,

Right now it is not possible to combine post author and categories.

Regarding the number of posts that you can delete, it is also limited by the amount of RAM present in your server. You can find the amount of RAM that is available to WordPress by going to Bulk WP -> System info.

Also you can use the Scheduler addon automatically delete posts based on a schedule.

Let me know if this will work for you. If not then I can process a full refund for you.

Hi Sudar,

Sorry for taking so long to come back to you, I had to write scripts to do this job in a hurry and I completely forgot you had replied to me.

RAM is slowing us down a little, but the main problem is managing timeouts both on Varnish and Apache, and avoiding effecting performance on the site, as I needed to run it live to get it done ASAP.

It didn’t work for me and I would appreciate the refund, however I would also understand if you suspected that I was using it in the interim as I took so long to come back to you, so I’ll leave it up to you.

If I might make a suggestion, could you perhaps use a paginated approach to the deletions, running in configurable batches with a page refresh to the next batch. This is how vBulletin handles bulk operations, for example. Even better if the script could be called from the command line, and left in screen. (Again, vBulletin does this, albeit for upgrades on large sites; also Piwik.)

Thanks,
Adam

Not a problem. I can understand that it might had been very busy for you if you had to do it in a hurry.

I see that the license is still active. Please de-activate it and let me know whether you want the refund in store credit or actual refund itself.

I will process it based on your preference.

That’s not a problem. I would prefer to have my customers happy rather then earning a little more 🙂

I have a Scheduler addon that does this. Basically it will use WordPress built-in cron to delete the posts based on a schedule.

Even better if the script could be called from the command line, and left in screen. (Again, vBulletin does this, albeit for upgrades on large sites; also Piwik.)

Thanks for the suggestion. WordPress has support for WP-Cli and I am planning to provide the ability to delete the posts from WP-Cli itself.

Thanks, that’s deactivated now. I’d appreciate a refund if that’s ok with you.

The scheduler doesn’t really solve the problem I was talking about, but that’s fine, it’s neither here nor there now.

wp-cli support would be excellent.

Thanks,
Adam

Funds from our paypal account was auto-widthdrawn (because of some legal restrictions in our country) and I am not able to add funds.

I have raised a support ticket with Paypal regarding this.

I will process the refund as soon as either Paypal resolves this ticket or I get more funds in my account through other sales.

Apologies for the delay.

[Adam BeecherParticipant]

That’s ok Sudar, I’ve been in exactly the same position. Thanks for letting me know.

Hello Adam,

Finally I was able to sort out the issue with Paypal and have processed a full refund.

The refund amount should have already gotten credited in your account.

Thanks for your interest in my product. Hoping that you will get to use it some other time.

Thanks.
